rmyles Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 Is the only way to edit the php files through a text editor? I'm used to designing with frontpage and I'm new to php. Is frontpage of any use to me with OSC? According to the Doc for 2.2 pretty much every php file has duplicate html. Well I can't seem to find any such files... Any help would be appreciated! Ron
abilstein Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 They are all PHP files, although there is HTML code within those files. I don't know how Front Page handles PHP, but any good web tool should be able to edit PHP files. If you have problems with Frontpage, I suggest downloading Textpad or UltraEdit. ...Alex
joongpark Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 Hey...I was wondering about it too. Can someone recommend a good PHP Editor? I have dreamweaver and Editplus. Both are ok but lacking some features. Mattice and Linda...and other Oscoomerce experts here, please recommend some of your favourites. It does not have to be freeware, I don't mind spending some $$$ to get good editor. oh..any of them allow you to preview ? Thanks.
Ajeh Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 Things like NoteTab Pro or UltraEdit are handy tools for php editing. Both are over on tucows.com

jondolar3 Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 I like Code-Genie. I'ts quick, easy to use, and free. You can download php help files that work with it. Have fun. Why I need a Job - "Honey, the baby's poopy."
Guest Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 I've been using NoteTab light. It's the free version of NoteTab Pro and it's great. http://www.notetab.com/download.htm
asim0s Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 try using omnipad(its freeware) excellent editor also there are some other good editors that i found but are shareware dzsoft php editor very nice indeed
zzfritz Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 My faves (under Windows): EditPlus ($30): http://www.editplus.com PHPEdit (free): http://www.phpedit.com
enrique1 Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 For those few Mac users like me, the best is BBEdit by Bare Bones Software.

Clement Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 Add my vote for PHPEdit. A VERRY VERRY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !

ocularmagic Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 I use Dreamweaver MX, it also has the handy database tool so you can check the contents of the database within your program. Pretty cool. If every member of this board donated $1 to the dev team, that would be over $11,000.00. Don't you think this cart is worth at least a $1????

Well I can't seem to find any such files... Yep, it does sound a bit confusing, what they are actually saying is : You will find common html code within most php files. So if you change a line of html in default.php , you will have to find the same code in other .php files and replace with your custom version. When the browser processes the php file it leaves the html intact. I use Dreamweaver MX because it has a find and replace tool which can replaces lines of code within files in a whole folder (rather than opening each file individually) Regards, Special Effects / 3d + Flash
Aodhan Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 I like Evrsofts 1st page. It's a free editor, much in the same style as Homesite, et. al. Aodhan
Guest Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Have wee look at html-edit at http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ It's free, handles html as well as php and other lanquages. I must admit that I still like the WYSIWYG feature of frontpage so use both.
Lunarmation Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Maguma Studio, they just released version 1.0.5... It's very good and it's free. Unless you are working on a live php enabled server, you'll want to download the full version which includes local php 4 engine. Landis. According to MS, I'm "the only one having that problem." What?
burt Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Maguma Studio is bug-ridden - awful script. If you can locate it's predecessor (called PHP Coder Pro! - filename is r2p3setup.exe) it is a much more stable program. In fact: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-...G=Google+Search - you might find a downloadable version somewhere... Well worth getting hold of. Make sure you thoroughly virus check any file you download from untrusted sources.
Lunarmation Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Burt, what version of Maguma are you using... After .0.9.3, it seems to be pretty good. It has "PHP Toolbox" and MX beat for pure php. Oh, and there is always Notepad. Landis. According to MS, I'm "the only one having that problem." What?
burt Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Studio Desktop 1.0.4...awful bug ridden script. I upgraded because they "bought out" PHP Coder. Now I've gone back to the original freeware script I was using, which is far more stable, and a better coding environment (in my opinion) :)
