Dreamweaver type PHP editor

[Iniquityclothing]

Hi folks is there such a thing as a design based osCommerce/PHP editor out there? For example in Dreamweaver you click on code after loading in say index.php and boom there it is, the php code all highlighted etc. What i want is to be able to click on the design tab, as opposed to code, see "index.php" as it would be displayed online and edit it that way, so for example if i want red text i would type some text and use the text toolbar to change the colour, Simple!!

I dont know alot about PHP and something like this would be fantastic. basically its a WYSIWYG program of some sort any ideas?

I have seen some awesome osC sites but i wouldnt even know ere to begin making mine look professional!

 

Cheers for reading,

I believe that there is no such thing and can't be - index.php is NOT a page, it's a program that constructs many pages.

 

There are only two ways to change the color of your text depending on how your text color is defined. You may find it in some of the programs but mostly you will find it on stylesheet.css in the catalog directory for the store and on styleshee.css in the admin directory for the admin area.

 

You can change colors of all texts and both regular and links, headings, bars, etc. from those two stylesheets.

No, there's no WYSIWYG editor for PHP.

 

But as you get more comfortable with php, you'll see that you can easily edit all of your files online using a text editor with built in FTP capabilities. Then just keep your browser open on the page you're editing, and just refresh after you've made a change.

 

As for font colors, most of them are handled in the CSS, and it's easy enough to change them. For other, more complicated changes, you'll need to learn how to edit php in text only mode.
