RE: [PHP] PHP editing environment
[snip] 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.

RE: [PHP] PHP editing environment
It's too easy to install a web server, PHP, and MySQL on your own computer and test everything locally. Apache works on Windows and *nix, or you can try OmniHTTPd or PWS/IIS. PHP is a simple download and follow the install instructions, and MySQL has an installation program, it just takes a minute. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Pag [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 4:59 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.

Download and install the windows installers for Apache and MySQL and you'll have a very functional server for testing your code before uploading it to your production server. I've got them all running under WinXP Home quite nicely. I have both Apache and MySQL servers set to start up manually (don't need them running all the time, and especially don't want them running while I'm connected to the net). I use Emacs/html-helper-mode or HTML-Edit (www.chami.com) depending on the mood I'm in to write my code (doesn't anybody work with raw HTML anymore?) I preview with Mozilla and IE 6 (HTML-Edit also offers preview capabilities, although I haven't figured out how to make it preview PHP pages yet).

RE: [PHP] PHP editing environment
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.

RE: [PHP] PHP editing environment
Two ways for you: 1. invest $200 (as you mentioned) in a little test server. Set there Samba (samba.org) and simply save.file-refresh.browser 2. install FoxServ or PHPTriad or something else. Look at the sourceforge.net. Or go manually installing the three - Apache, PHP, mySQL on your Win. This is the easiest way. Editors: 1. Look the list archives. 2. Browse the list archives. 3. Search the list archives. 4. If I ever would need to get a list of possible text editors I would Look into, browse and search the archives of this list. 5. well, my idea is Edit Plus. I just love it - Its got all I need.

Re: [PHP] PHP editing environment
install a webserver (apache?) on your machine and then set up server mappings in homesite so when you switch to browse in homesite your code is parsed.
