Replies frozen Posted at 1:51 pm on Dec. 31, 2007 As others have said, Notepad can edit the PHP files, however I suggest using PSPad to edit PHP files. PSPad has syntax highlighting and it also has built-in FTP. It's pretty much an all-in-one and handles a ton of file formats. I couldn't live without it when working in a Windows environment. (edit: I forgot to add that it's free) Hope this helps you. MariJani Posted at 9:29 am on Dec. 30, 2007 Quote: from allsmiles at 3:32 pm on Nov. 16, 2007 You can edit PHP files with notepad.

There's plenty of free hosting sites out there with PHP support, or if you prefer, use something like XAMPP to install it on your local machine. You have to tell the.php files to be opened with Notepad; by right clicking the file, and clicking: "Open with" then just find "Notepad". Also, I find it easier to find cheap/free hosting which supports FTP and would run the required PHP and MySQL (If you are practicing it also) version and using that. The domain would cost only $10 unless the site allows subdomains. espresso8097 Posted at 4:35 pm on Nov. 16, 2007 Notepad will edit it.  Personally I prefer the program PHP Designer 2007 (free edition) and run to WAMP server, but I am not running a full time server, just test things and have fun. allsmiles Posted at 3:32 pm on Nov. 16, 2007 You can edit PHP files with notepad.
