I use BBEdit almost exclusively for PHP generated web pages. My skill in neither is highly developed and I must often test repeatedly to achieve the results I want. That said, I created a problem for myself that took me several hours to realize what I had done.
Referencing one file from another, I had mis-typed the case. E.g., I had typed “FileName.txt” instead of “filename.txt” On my case in-sensitive Mac where I maintain my draft site, this was no problem since my Mac file system is case in-sensitive. Uploaded to a case-sensitive Linux server, the reference failed and I was baffled for hours. Although I tried, neither the “Check Links” or “Check Syntax” found this error. Since the error was not an HTML link, nor was it a syntax error, those BBEdit lifesaving functions didn’t help me here. How do other BBEdit users deal with errors in case references? Is there a BBEdit function I don’t know about? Must I depend on my increasingly feeble brain to remember this when I make this error? It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it has me scratching my head for more time than I would like to admit. [Incidentally, my problem was specifically with an include() file but could have been any other php reference to a file.] Thanks for any inSigHT.
