PHP - where to get?

[Guest]

I don't have a php program, is it available through osCommerce? Or can I get it elsewhere?

 

What I want to do is edit the php files, but all I have is Notepad :lol:

 

Anyone? :-"

Notepad is fine. Or look at Ultra Edit (search google for this) if you want something better

There are many free text editors, I have just started trying out conTEXT, and PHP Designer 2007 - Personal, as well as using ultraedit.

Thank you for the replies!

 

I don't know if there's something wrong with my Notepad, but it shows everything in 1-2 lines, without proper formating... I tried WordPad now and it seems to work okay. I'll still look into php programs, I prefer the text color coded!! :lol:

Crimson Editor (free - Google that one, too) is another good one that adds "color coded text".

 

Nothing in wrong with your Notepad.

 

Your editing a UNIX format (<eol> = lf ) file with a DOS/Windows editor (<eol> = cr/lf). That's why it's all on one huge long line. For whatever reason that doesn't bother Wordpad, just Notepad.

 

The text all running together on one line usually doesn't happen when I'm using Crimson Editor. If it does, I just copy/paste it into a blank Wordpad document first to fix the formatting, then copy/paste into Crimson Editor. There's probably some way to setup Crimson Editor so that isn't necessary. But it doesn't happen often, so I haven't snooped around for a solution.
