dina Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 can I successfully save my default.php in notepad (editor)? or is there a specific editor for php recommended? because when I open it with my localhost, I get funny characters in the left corner of my page.
Wickham Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Yes you can use Notepad, I always use it for PHP. Save the file as default.php and when you want to open it, right click and "open with" Notepad. After editing, just "Save" and make sure it hasn't been saved as default.php.txt.
falkencreative Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 For your sanity's sake, I'd suggest working with a free text editor such as Notepad++ or PSPad -- they'll have useful features like tabs and color highlighting that will make your life easier. As Wickham said though, Notepad works too -- just follow his instructions.
LSW Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Check out the bottom section of my alternative editor page, a PHP supporting editor is always better as code colors help you spot mistakes.
