wysiwyg .php editor?

bombidol

Im trying to set up oscommerce as many of you know. Id love to get a hold of some kind of wysiwyg php editor. Cause if im editing it in notepad i keep deleting a ' or a > and thats it knackered then and i have to restore. Id love to be able to open up the page with all the images , something similar to frontpage format or something. where i can edit the text and images then save and FTP up to replace the original file..
Anyone know if this is possible??

Dreamweaver is an excellent editor for all code.

If your looking for an open source one, you could use NVU, you can download it for a Windows or Linux OS.

However, the php files in OS Commerce will not open up with text and images similar to a html page, what you will see is pieces of code calling the text from the database and the images from a central folder.

I don't know. It might be possible to get a IDE, which will debug as you go along, pointing out any errors in your code. The problem is in the code execution - it would have to keep "refreshing" the preview pane to re-execute the PHP code.

TBH, your best bet is to create a testing server on your own machine that mirrors the setup on your webserver. Then you test and verify all your code before uploading it.
