I know this question probabbly sound VERY stupid.... but I'm trying to learn from this php code someone else wrote, and I dont know how to get access to it.... Thanks in advance.
Your right, it does sound VERY stupid...... Open the file in notepad if you don't have a editor that supports php syntax highlighting .... The best free php IDE IMO is php designer, you should also download that as it will be helpfull with its syntax highlighter for you to understand where blocks of code start and finish..... http://www.download.com/3000-20-10575026.html?part=undefined&subj=dl&tag=button
Well, in a way yeah, but the same can actually be said for any file on a pc, they are all made of text .....
The best way to read a PHP file is :turn on your PC ,turn on your monitor(if it is off).open a file with .php extension in notepad and read it.If you cant read it then you may be forgot to wear your glasses,so put on them.but after doing this if you cant read then you may either have to change the power of your glasses or have to learn how to read by the way all the files in a PC are combination of 1 and 0.but we cant see those 1s and 0s(thanks god!!!!) .these are formatted in many ways according to the type of the file and text is just file type.
dank, i've been paying attention with you.. always mean.. -.-" answering to your question, you can also use XAMPP, you can just search it in google, download, and install it so that you can test it on your local machine.
If you're trying to learn from php code that someone else wrote, how will a server help ?? I'm not mean, he said it was stupid and I was merely observing that it is .... I did still however answer the question satisfactorily I'm actually a very nice guy .........
