Php Viewer

[alishan]

Well there are many WYSIWYG editors for ASP and HTML .i like Frontpage but please is there any php viewer in which u just enter the code and press view tab to see the result of the php code.
This might help a begginer like me.

No there isnt a PHP editor like that, because the PHP code needsto be "compiled" on a server then the action is taken. If you want to test PHP on your home PC you will need to set up a home server using Apache and PHP, please consult other topic for detailed tutorials on how to install it.

I don't believe there are, but there's a guide somewhere around the HM boards which tells you how to install a PHP server(With/to/I dunno! Apache).

Well the thing is ASP is made by microsoft and microsoft tend to make wysiwyg editors for about anything, just like the new web dev 5 beta running on the 2.0 .NET Framework. This program run a tempory webserver to show the pages you create in the main program.
PHP however is made by a smaller company / group of people and therefor doesnt have the time nor the money to create wysiwyg editors
and believe me if they made an editor in the time they developed the newer versions of php we wouldnt be better off. But the php group does encourage other people to write editors and other tools, but community build tools are usually less complete as complete funded company supported wysisyg editors
