Does anyone know of any online php editor that has a built in ftp that I can use in IE. I am stuck at work and they block the ftp port and don't allow me to install any programs on the work computer. I am allowed to us IE and hoping that maybe a online php editor (with ftp saving/opening of files) is not to much to hope for.
If your ftp port is blocked then an online editor that has a built in ftp will be of no use. I think you should be looking for an online file manager. Normally they do file uploads via HTTP over port 80, so blocked ftp port will not be a problem.
I am unable to install software. So, downloading anything would be a waste of my time. I already said that though. Not if it has it on server side instead of client side. thanks, but that does have any php editing abilities. It would awesome if it was a php editor instead of just a ftp uploader. Is one of those online HTML editors do PHP ? I know it was a long shot, but I hoped.
I like long shots. I think this is doable as ajax can pull files and save them to a server once saved. I don't think it would be feature rich and there will be some serious security issues that would have to be dealt with but I'm sure someone has addressed this problem. Searching and subscribing to thread, hopefully we'll find something.
Surely this is a very simple thing to do with PHP. You put the edit file on your server, you can type in the file to edit, it'll open it, and as long as that file is 777'd you can save to it to. You'd have to CHMOD 777 the files and upload the script from home. You'd have to secure the editing file too, but htaccess can do that fine. And that way browser would be irrelevant. Is this not what your looking for?
I have been editting the files in the cpanel editor, thus far, but it is a single file at a time thing. I am used to being able to have multiple files open to go from file to file to edit different portions of the whole code. Plus, the color coding is way needed. Just a single color code is confusing (as it is shown in the cpanel file editor.) I am still looking for something online.
I have the same issue, net2ftp.com is what I use to actually FTP large amounts of files. However, cpanel's file manager works great too if you are actually are just uploading 1 or 2 files and in the process of writing code. Essentially for net2ftp.com you will just zip up the files and then select teh zip file to upload. It will unzip the file for you and place all the files on the webserver.
Hello, PHPanywhere.net is a Online PHP Editor with a FTP explorer. It should be exactly what you are looking for. A couple of my friends built it, so if you like it please spread the word. Also any comments/suggestions would be great. Cheers!
I have been trying this out, but not sure if it works fully just yet. I have created an account, but can't get it to work fully. Going to test it more. Will set up a campaign to spread the word as soon as I find it functional. Looking good.. Keeps ending at 75% loading mark.
They have had and some issues and have worked most of them out They are still actively working so please let them (or me) know if you have any problems. Cheers!
Another alternative (and my preferred choice for editing websites) is to use a terminal to ssh into your web server and then edit the files using a command line text editor (most likely vi or vim). The learning curve is steep but once you get good at it you'll be face-meltingly quick at coding.
If you have cPanel, the file manager has a built-in file editor with syntax highlighting.. I don't find it very handy, but if you need something online, this might be an option. For my work I use Notepad++ (free) and E (a TextMate clone, commercial) on Windows, Gedit on Linux.. they do their work pretty well.
lordofthelake: That is how I was doing it already. Already stated I can't install any programs on this computer like notepad++, e, gedit etc.. phpanywhere.net is a great tool and what I am using right now. only thing is the accounts login security information and if it gets out. shrug. .
