Just starting

Post by davetee »

Just starting to learn PHP...never dealt with code before. I'm going through all the screencasts on Themeforest which I'm finding easy to understand. Does anyone know how I can show parsing errors in Google Chrome...I would find that useful. Also can anyone recommend a good editor...using Komodo Edit at the moment.

thanks

You can show errors in the browser by turning on show errors in the php.ini file (or in the script). See the manual.

There is an editors thread here that has people's favorite editors. Check the most recent posts.

P.S. anyone know why these topics aren't accessible in the PHP Starter Pack - Fundamental PHP Know-How section - I just get the message 'You are not authorised to read this forum.'

Mac users may find that they don't have a php.ini to edit. See these forum topics:

There should be somewhere.
