Alternative to Dreamweaver

    I use a dreamweaver but I am not very good at PHP side of it. I seem to have all sorts of problems trying to implement COOP with it. Is there an alternative program that would produce friendlier and better results.

    dreamweaver itself has nothing to do with bad PHP coding... your problems trying to implement COOP is simply because you're bad at PHP coding... :p

    ... unless, of course, I've missed what you're trying to say...

    Let's try again. My choice so far has been HTML pages created by Dreamweaver. Now I can create PHP pages but I wouldn't trust myself to create them search engine friendly. Recently I discovered Link Management Assistant as my directory helper, it generates pages that seem to be displaying COOP ads without any problems. Now if somebody can do that with Directory application surely there is PHP site/page builder that would do a good job in a similar way.
    Maybe I am going wrong somewhere else. I tried creating basic PHP page "index.php" and I get following message:

    Warning: main(ad_network_388.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/you2usa.com/index.php on line 78

    Warning: main(): Failed opening 'ad_network_388.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/opt/php-4.3/lib/php:../:../../:../../../:../../../../') in /usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/you2usa.com/index.php on line 78

    What version of Dreamweaver are you using? People who know - like my web designer- seem to think the latest version v8, just released, works much better with php.

    2004 I'll have to wait to upgrade my MAC as minimum requirement is OSX 10.3. Looks like my problem is not with my pages but setting paths. I'am waiting to hear from my administrator about full path and then I might get lucky.
    I think what I'll do is just replace my .htm pages with .php and not try to do anything clever as I had problem getting them indexed in the past with my strings.
