right up my alley... I use cuteftp, and it usually does all this stuff for
you. all you have to do is right click on the file you want to edit, and it
opens it up in notepad, or the editor you choose. just make sure you save
the file before you close it. after that cuteftp will have a window that
says "upload" or "cancel".. choose upload. if you wish to change the editor,
just go to editsettings in cuteftp, and find the text that says "helper
applications" in the window that pops up. click that, and you can choose
your program.

 Hello,

 I need to know if there is a program out there that I can use to edit
 the PHP files.  I use CuteFTP to download the files from my server as I
 need to change some wording around from time to time.  Does anyone know
 the correct procedure for downloading a php file with CuteFTP and then a
 program that I can use to edit the text I need to edit.  Then also, the
 correct way to upload it back to the server using CuteFTP.  Do I use
 Binary or ACII.

 Or, if I am way off and there is a program that makes CuteFTP look
 silly, please let me know this also.  I am open for any suggestions, as
 long as they are detailed.  Please email responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Thank you!

2001-04-18 Thread Jack Dempsey

PHP files are text files, thus you can use any text editor to make your
changes. On Windows, the simplest way would be to use notepad or wordpad to
edit and save your changes. On other platforms like unix/linux you could use
pico, vi, or emacs to name a few.
If you have telnet access to the server, it'd be easier to just code your
changes on the server, bypassing the need for ftp'ing.
To download a file, do the same as you would with any other file. In CuteFTP
you can drag the file from the server window to your desktop (or wherver
your default save location is) and save it there. Then, when you upload,
since its text, you don't need to set it to binary.
I use CuteFTP for uploading and downloading files, but when coding anything,
I find it easier to just telnet in and use pico (now I submit to flames from
BOTH the vi and emacs lovers =P )

best of luck,
jack

 Hello,
 
 I need to know if there is a program out there that I can use to edit

Any text editor.  Example: Notepad.

 need to change some wording around from time to time.  Does anyone know
 the correct procedure for downloading a php file with CuteFTP and then a
 program that I can use to edit the text I need to edit.

1) Download the php file just like you would a html file.
2) Edit the file using a text editor.

  Then also, the
 correct way to upload it back to the server using CuteFTP.  Do I use
 Binary or ACII.

Neither.  You use ASCII.

 
 Or, if I am way off and there is a program that makes CuteFTP look

I don't think so, though funny is a relative word.  I use WS_FTP.

The squares are characters Notepad doesn't recognise.

If you see them in anything, not just PHP files, open it in WordPad.

RE: [PHP] Newbie Help!! Please Look!

2001-04-18 Thread Jack Dempsey

its not so much learning "telnet" as learning unix or linux...but as far as
editing text files, its easy...here're some basic commands to get you
started:

telnet www.yourhost.com
login: enter it
password: enter it
prompt$ pico yourfile.php

i find pico to be the quickest and easiest (and probably the "weakest") of
the text editors on *nix systems...start with it and progress if you want...
you can use the arrow keys as you'd expect...edit your file then hit
control-x, y, return to save and quit from your file and pico...at any time
you can also use ctrl-o to save your progress without quitting...

the squares in notepad were a result of you taking a file from a *nix
systemtry opening it with wordpad, and you should be fine...

Those are 'end of line characters' that your Operating System doesn't
understand. You'll probably see that if you're editing files that were
created on Linux or Unix. Likewise, if you edit the files on a PC then
upload them in your native format, to Unix or Linux they're going to
end up having ^M's at the end of each line.

Your best bet is to grab a fairly decent Programmer's Editor that can
tell the difference and (re)act accordingly.

Some good ones that come to mind are EditPlus (I've used it) or TextPad
(I prefer it). You can find others in quite a long list here:
