Dreamweaver MX

Post by MarKeR »

Has anyone here tried using Dmx to code PHP, just wondering how the new coding implications work in it, ie tags etc.

It looks horrid if you let Dreamweaver do any of the coding. Having just played with it for about 10 minutes (had to install it today 'cause my boss bought Studio MX) I can't say I'm particularily impressed. I think I'll continue to stick to editplus.

It actually can be set to not mess around much with your code now...however it takes like 10 minutes to start up and half the time I'm waiting for it to draw on my laptop (P2 450). Bloat bloat, and a little bit more. I recommend HomeSite + from the MX studio.

DW MX PHP

Post by Takuma »

I use DW MX to program PHP when it's just a small script. If I'm doing a bit more bigger PHP programming I use PHPEd.

Dreamweaver is the best for coding it i think!

It predicts code, it automatically closes things, but when you try to view a preview its all retarded and all you see is a little 'PHP' logo.

I use Homesite 4.51 mostly, but I've just today started fiddling with HTMLkit, and I must say it's pretty cool.

I've been using HTMLKit for several months now - its pretty cool. Think I'll head over to their website and see if there's any upgrades available now you've helpfully placed the link in front of me :)

<edit>couldn't get the htmlkit link to take me anywhere. Google tells me its http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ instead.</edit>

RE: HTMLkit: Grab the PHP plug-in if you don't already have it. It's very handy

Homesite 5.0 is what I like. The other IDE's available for PHP are still to flaky. I want something that is solid. Homesite gives this to me. It's a lot of the little things that make the difference.

I use notepad... and if i have a parse error i just look around for it, i code php/html/css - everything in notepad.. if i had something identical to notepad, but it had a line count too, that would be the best

I tried HomeSite 5.0 and have yet to upgrade.

It's much quicker and I hear more stable than 4.5 which I use.
