AV1611 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I'm obviously not getting some point... I've been playing with dreamweaver, and it seems harder to create a PHP web page with it than just using notepad... can someone help me get the concept, or point me to a tutorial that will help me get whatever it is I missed?

Gast Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I never use Dreamweaver's built in functions to create PHP pages. I simply use the code view to write the code. The syntax colouring helps a lot and can be easier to spot errors than in notepad.

ChrisDarl Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I agree with gast, also you can use the live view feature to see the webpage, even with parameters in the url. This is in dreamweaver 7/8 chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/2732-dreamweaver/#findComment-9232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 i'll be the third to agree... i use dreamweaver for 3 things: 1. color coding for PHP in code view 2. xhtml validation 3. help with CSS validation as i write it other than that, dreamweaver is great help with it's "Site Management" to FTP all your files up to the server as you write them. otherwise, i really don't use other features of dreamweaver.

lessthanthree Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Don't you usually get HomeSite thrown in for free with DW? If so, use that for your PHP code it's a text editor, not a wysiwyg program, but has the same color coding as dreamweavers code view. Much much better :] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/2732-dreamweaver/#findComment-9273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
