Sjohnson111 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 OK, I have no knowledge of PHP so please take it easy on me... I have a customer who I do computer services for. He asked me to make a few changes to his website, mostly text changes. I am familiar with some website stuff, html, dreamweaver... So I said sure, I could handle that. Well his site is written in PHP, and I cannot even find where the text is located in any of the files. So my question is, is there a program or something out there that will open the PHP files into a form that someone without PHP knowledge could read through and make some text and spelling changes...?? Something like Dreamweaver does for HTML... Thanks for any help you can give...

trq Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 More than likely, if its a dynamic site (what php is mostly used for), this text your looking to edit is actually stored in a database. Thats how most sites work. Your content is stored in a database and the php application is used to view (and usually edit) this content. Is there no type of admin page on the site? Oh... and PS. No there isn't really anything like what your asking for available. The php applications are normally designed to handle all this themselves. You can view php in any text editor, but thats just the applications source code, the actuall content (like I said) is normally stored seperately.

Sjohnson111 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 There is an "Admin" folder, which has files called things like "main_list.php", "page_start.php" etc...

trq Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 No (while thats promising)... your looking at the source code. You need to look at the site. Is there a login area?

Sjohnson111 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 No not on the actual website, but it is hosted by Yahoo... And I think there is a mysql backend that I can log into through there...
