547187 2007-05-05 01:57:00 I'm starting to do a bit of website type programming and my son has pointed me in the direction of PHP.
I've got a next handbook called "MySQL + PHP an introduction" and I've played around a bit with some of the content:rolleyes:
It recommends Eclipse as an editor, which is also my son's choice - it's fairly complicated for someone like me, but I'm persevering:waughh:
Anyway, for this sort of thing, I'd be interested in what other people use.
Half the fun of this sort of exercise is trying new things out:eek:

547188 2007-05-05 02:16:00 I mainly use Dreamweaver or a text editor(depends on OS) as thats what we use at Uni. At first I found Dreamweaver a bit difficult to use but after persevering I now find it adequate for my needs. Pete O'Neil (6584)
547189 2007-05-05 02:34:00 If I was going to choose a web dev app for my job it would be Dreamweaver. It might take a bit to learn but it is worth while in the long run. It is also the industry standard tool. I am also a fan of Freehand which Adobe has killed in favour of Illustrator. winmacguy (3367)
547190 2007-05-05 02:35:00 Notepad (or the linux equiv) .. but then I have only used it for html Myth (110)
547191 2007-05-05 02:39:00 I tend to use Dreamweaver mostly, mainly because it's always open on my PC. But for a quick bit of work at other times I love the excellent and free NoteTab Light. Greg (193)
547192 2007-05-05 02:41:00 I also mainly use Dreamweaver Dreamweaver stu161204 (123)
547193 2007-05-05 02:46:00 From what I know, MY SQL and PHP are used to compliment tools like Dreamweaver to give you the full web dev package such as a front page or pages with the necessary functions and connections to a MY SQL database. winmacguy (3367)

547196 2007-05-05 04:11:00 I have used EditPadPro for about 6-7 years (there is a free evaluation version also). This editor is very similar to Notepad ++, but has the added ability to handle Unix files also - strips the carriage returns from the ends of rows - if that's of any interest. Probably not...

Also handles any kind of text file you can think of - if it's not there in the standard setup, you can add it and even apply syntax colouring to all the different file types...

www.editpadpro.com

The link has the evaluation version download at the bottom of the page.
