rgfirefly24 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was told during an interview today as to what PHP editor would be used but for some reason i cannot remember the name. It started with Dru, Bru or something along those lines. If someone could help me in figuring out what the editor is i'd be much appriciated.

rgfirefly24 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 hrm, i cant find where to edit my post but i figured out its Drupal(thanks to phpfreaks search) but it came downloaded as a .tar.gz which i know is created on a Unix/linux machine. Is there a zip program that will unarchive this file? I tried 7-zip;however, it cannot unpack the files. I also dont want to pay the 30 or 50 bucks for winzip.

trq Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Drupal is not a php editor, it is a content management system written in php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameYin Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I believe winzip has free trials? You can just unzip files using that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgfirefly24 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 hrm, ok thanks. Do either of you know if drupal comes with MySQL and appache? I'm beginning to think that the interviewer wasnt 100% in what he was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Do either of you know if drupal comes with MySQL and appache? No. It is a web application and will need a webserver (ie Apache) and a database (ie MySql) to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgfirefly24 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 ok thanks, looks like i got alot to learn. I really hate when i'm thrown into an interview for a position i have absolutly no qualifications for and basically told its a formality and that they are making me do the job. I guess thats what happens when a top ranked IT guy in the city basically says he wants you working on the project. Next question, how easy is Drupal, PHP, APPACHE to learn? i've used oracle 10g so i figure the mysql part will be a breeze, however i have never used drupal, php or appache. Are there any really good video tutorials out there? i see there are tutorials on the website, but i'm more of a visual learner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amites Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 if you don't have a web server search for a copy of WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP) it's a small program you can install and have an Apache server running on your desktop (If you're not on windows then I'll leave you to figure it out, not to difficult with the help of good ol' google) and install Drupal on it, for tutorials try google video, or the Drupal forum's it's a rather popular CMS so there should be plenty of stuff, though being a hands on learner my approach would be to install WAMP and start playing it's designed to be simple to use, not quite Wordpress easy but not to far off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off topic, but 'top ranked' by whom - or is this the punch line from a Dilbert cartoon. Good luck with your learning curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
