Wysiwyg For Php?

[Guest]

Can someone tell me if there is a WYSIWYG editor for PHP files? I am looking for something like Frontpage, but that does PHP files. I am also looking for shareware or freeware ones, but any will do. Thank you.

PHP is a server-side scripting language and requires a web server to run the files. There are some programmes which try to emulate a web server, and there is even an add-on for FrontPage - but they are all rubbish.

 

You can turn your computer into an offline web server (Intranet) using something like XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends/xampp/en) which will then allow you to run osCommerce on your computer and test changes before putting them online.

Is there any program to help with the design of the files within the catalog and sub directories?

osCommerce isn't like a static html website - it's a mix of php, html, css, javascript and mysql.

 

You need to get to know osCommerce, how it works, what its structure is, before you can begin changing it - and when you do that there is no easy editing tool. You have to work with the code in the php files.

 

That's why I suggested a local web server - because you can play about with osCommerce as much as you like - and if you break it you can delete it and install it again, no harm done to an online site.
