I am using Apache php and MySQL at work and at home, at work I have a win98 box and I use Maguma Studio Light for php as an editor, at home I use VIM for my editor, Maguma is really working for me. What I did was download php, MySql, and Apache then find a good tutorial, of which there are many, on the net that deals with all three and how to correctly install them. Once you figure out the config files, its as easy as pie baby.
Then you can view your test scripts through ie, or hook Maguma up to work with php and it renders the pages for you right in the editor. And trust me its easy to do. One more thing, if you haven't already I recommend getting phpMyAdmin to administer your mysql databases, this combination blows any purchased product out of the water with ease of use and speed. -Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Pag [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 7:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP editing environment Hi, i am new to the list and i am quite impressed with whats going on over here. Anyway, just have a small question. Have been coding php for a while now but i still havent found a stable (easy and not time consuming) way of working in PHP, i mean, i use homesite5 to code and when i want to test the php i upload the scripts and test them on the site. This process is a bit time consuming, so i installed php on my winXP, but even like that i can only test small things using php master editor. Anyone know how i can make my work more efficient? Like install MySQL and PHP and get everything working normally when i preview the code in internet explorer, that would be perfect, is it possible? How do you guys and girls work with php, what editors and/or tools you use? Thanks.
