Hi, Friends I wanna develop PHP site for travelers like Couchsurfing.com but with different features. Can you please tell me if there is any Software to create pages or design pages in PHP like there was Frontpage from Microsft for HTML. I will also need help in scripting I will keep posting in this thread. Thanks in advance.
If you know how to program using PHP (or any other mid/low level language for that matter), designing your own software for creating webpages/websites is fairly straightforward and easy.
You mean I should creat southward to create pho site or pages? I don’t think it would be easy to create software first. I just want to creat website in phpa and database. Right now I think I have to wright scripts phone scripts in notepad+.
You can use notepad, or notepad plus, or other frameworks to code in PHP. I still use notepad, some extra typing, but lots of control on code. You will need to learn PHP first though... And install Xamp or Wamp on your computer. That way you can run PHP directly on your coding (development) computer, and will not need to upload scripts to server while coding... Makes things very easy this way and saves time.
PHP code is written out in plaintext. There are no editors where you drop drag click etc to "design" a web page. You design the web page using HTML/CSS. PHP is a programming language that allows you to write instructions for a computer to follow. You would use a programmers editor like Notepad++ or SublimeText. You can start with PHP by reading online tutorials.
Have a look at Content Management Systems (CMS) like WordPress and Joomla. They do away with the need for frontage and dreamweaver and let you concentrate on your content. Lots of free themes, you can have your site up and running in no time.
