Guest Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hi, I have just got a copy of dream weaver which generates php the same as front page generates html. Has any one else used this program with oscommerce & are there any problems with it. I wanted to ask before I spend time to no availe. Thanks Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ecartz Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Dreamweaver has trouble understanding what PHP code blocks do, so you can't really edit pages with PHP blocks in the GUI. That said, it does have a reasonably good code editor with syntax highlighting. It also handles FTP and code check in and check out. Just don't expect to able to edit PHP pages the same way you would straight HTML. Hth, Matt Always back up before making changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chance Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 What matt said. I use dreamweaver all day, but its not for visualy editing php. My advice comes in two flavors- Pick the one that won't offend you.

mpiscopo Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I use Dreamweaver for editing code, mostly because it was what I had been using for my static pages. Is there a GUI editor someone can recommend? Or does it not exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ecartz Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 The closest thing to a GUI editor is to install Apache/MySQL/PHP on your workstation and view pages from there. Note: Dreamweaver can be configured to use a local, network, or FTP file space to save files. Hth, Matt Always back up before making changes.

wizardsandwars Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 dreamweaver MX 2004 works well with osCommerce and editing PHP 4-5 code. Editing the code directly, yes. But not with the GUI, which is what the question was about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.
