silverglade Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 hi, i just started learning php today, and my process is, code in dreamweaver, save to desktop, put file in root directory of my hosted server, and check the page on the web. is that a proper way of developing? or is there a faster way to check your code without uploading it, like with a free IDE? i cant afford a nonfree one. any help greatly appreciated, thank you. derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yes you can install packages such as WAMP (for Windows) or XAMPP (Windows and *nix) You can then test your PHP files locally. By going to http://localhost There are many guides on the internet on how to use these. Dreamwever can be setup so it automatically uploads the files to your website, as well as testing your scripts internally. This possible by setting up a Site Definition within Dreamweaver.
