php-html editing and testing
Hi everyone What do SuSE users use to write and test html with php? I thought that oo 641d may provide a single step solution but instead it really messes up the code! Thanks, Steve.
i have apache installed on my development machine (along with php, mod_perl, mod_python, mysql, etc) and just use vim to write my code. i can ssh into the machine from my local box, edit files, save them and then click reload in mozilla to see the changes. plus the syntax highlighting in vim is really sweet.

Quanta+? I'm not sure if it's preview processes php code (or if that is a feature of the commercial version), but at least it do a good job syntax highlighting it. In any case, vi + reload in browser will always work :)

Quanta Plus is easily the best tool in term to low learning curve. The version with 7.3 was the first one that I could get to work without crashing, but it still has some bugs (including one where the first doc in a new project may need to be copied into another doc to get other pages in the project to show up properly). A "commercialised" version, Quanta Gold, is available from theKompany, and the current version, 3.3.3, is very good indeed (but still with some rough edges). I would say it's about 70% of the way towards Dreamweaver. Kevin

Nice package and really easy to use. Thanks. I never knew it was there. But no php preview. My installation says: PHP3 Debugger listens on port 7869 but alas no php preview. Really close though. I have Apache with PHP4. Trying to install Quanta+2.0.1 from sourceforce is impossible (OK I put a 3 hour limit on these sort of things these days. There is life beyond!). It seems to want so much that we don't have on 7.3. Or please tell me otherwise. Is it agreed that the editors that come with hancom, oo and the like are not useable? (oh dear, one question per thread no!) Steve.

I think that's only a problem if you're coming from an OS where the tradition is for every app to try to do some of every other app's work :-). What I do is save the pages into public_html, and have a browser open to that page - every time I make a change I refresh that page to show it. (Of course, you need mod_php and MySQL - if you're using it - installed for this to work.) Just as quick as pressing a preview button. And of course there's nothing to stop you having several different browsers (including IE if you have a win PC on the network) open to the same page, to see what it looks like in all of them. I actually find it dubious that Quanta Gold has an FTP client built in, given that there are so many FTP clients on the average Linux distro, but I think it is probably because QG also runs on Windows, and clients there are few and far between on your basic install ....

Hancom uses a version of QG, so it is pretty good (except for the x-html mimetype gotcha - see previous threads). I haven't used SO or OO, but I did get my son using Mozilla Composer as an experiment (HTML might be a bit of a shock at that age!). This was not at all bad for a visual editor to be used in short snatches, but in my view it is not really there yet for work purposes, since it had a good few "oddities". If you're not a Vi or Emacs type, then Quanta is the only show in town at the minute, IMHO. Kevin
