I am very new to PHP too - but you do realize you can put some html in there?

 

I use a combination of Dreamweaver and a program I got online w/ a 30 day trial -

EngInSite Editor for PHP - the problem w/ PHP is that it's far from WYSIWYG - but this editor seems to be pretty nice.

You just need a simple text editor

 

Windows Notepad will do if you have nothing else - There are many free text editors out there - I use Notetab lite

 

When you edit a php file make sure you do not inadvertently put in "white spaces" at the end of your file i.e go to the end of the file and ensure there are no spaces by using the delete key. If you don't you will get errors when you parse the code thro your browser.

Press [ START ] and klick on [ RUN ] Enter: Notepad and hit ( OK )

 

Hack away for Free ;)

 

Go to catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

And edit

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'XXX');

 

 

Good luck :D

Any basic text editor will work. Notepad in windows is ok, I prefer an editor that uses line numbers, as well as color codes things (I use Dreamweaver's text editor, it works great). I dont know php either, but I pretty much just hack everything that I do. Pretty much cut and paste here, test, if it doesnt work, undo what I did or put a backup copy of the file back up and im all set to try again. I have learned a little php in doing this, and the more I do it, the more I know / remember. Just take some time, sit down, and play around with it. If you get frustrated, go take a walk, get a drink or something. Come back and dive into it again :-)

 

If your looking for a WYSIWYG, good luck. Most PHP is processed on a server, and isnt really displayed locally very well at all. So hard coding is pretty much a must atm. However, like I said previously, im very new to php as well, so I could be completely off the wall :-)
