I can verify that ... HTML > HTML Preview Web Server (Shift + Ctrl + F10)
... works well to preview your *.php files, with PSPad' sinternal web browser, when: * You have a correctly configured Web Server (like Apache); and * You have a correctly configured PSPad (Settings > Program Settings > Web Server). With those PSPad settings PSPad can translate the file system path into the relevant URL. For example with PSPad > Settings > Program Settings > Web Server > * Server: localhost * Document Root: C:\MyWebFiles\DocumentRoot\ The translation could go something like * File System Path and File: C:\MyWebFiles\DocumentRoot\Php\Examples\helloWorld02.php; to * Translated URL: http://localhost/Php/Examples/helloWorld02.php ... before loading it into the internal browser. Is there a way to have PSPad load the translated URL directly into an external browser (Firefox, Chrome, ect)? I see, for Highlighters Settings, the opportunity to load an External application. I also see that if you right click on the application field you get a list of variables. But I seen no obvious way to use those variables to pick up on the translated URL (from Settings > Web server). If this is not possible then my post would count as a feature request. And I'd suggest adding this functionality to the "Settings > Web server" section, rather than the Highlighters Settings. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,60693,65469> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
