kenny724 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Help. I'm just an idiot i guess. Never really done any php. I am helping someone set up a website, and of course the shopping carts, etc., are in php. I have downloaded both expression and dreamweaver, and I can't run the index.php or preview it. Frustrating. I thought I set up the server right. Anyway...can I set up the index as html...and some how integrate the php scripts to the shopping cart pages?? Is there an easier way to edit the design of a php page or should i just do the pages in html and run the php scripts? I get nothing but a freaking blank page. I am so stupid and behind with php. I am so confused....I think I used to be smart....but now I don't think I am one bit. Any information or helpful links will be greatly, GREATLY appreciated...and if I get this done correctly I will sell my soul to you.....lol.

premiso Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 PHP requires a server to run on or the php software. If you are on windows look into WAMP as it will do the PHP / APACHE / MySQL setup for you.

teamatomic Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I recommend Appserv or EasyPHP. When you run into trouble getting phpmyadmin to access mysql look into sqlBuddy. Its better anyways as you can make and manage database users besides the stuff phpmyadmin can do.

MasterACE14 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I quite like NetBeans IDE and XAMPP myself. You have plenty of options available to you Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/190483-i-am-a-complete-idiot/#findComment-1004828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
