Reading code files

[Amay_Zing]

Hi

Is there another programme for looking at coding?  I see sometimes people typee at line 365 etc but all i see is a mass of characters in notepad (not very nice and hard to find things)  makes me cross-eyed

Frontpage and dreamweaver.

I dunno of any others. I just use notepad.

You need a html/php editor like Dreamweaver or something similar. Dreamweaver is expensive, tho. There are free programs available on the net but I can't think of any at the moment. Try download.com or tucows.com and search for html editor or php editor.

php expert editor and context are very similar editors. PHPExpert costs about $35 I think, while Context is free.

I have and it is good. I have also downloaded and installed PHP 4.4. If you do this you can link to the PHP.exe for code and syntax checking.

Been playing with phpnuke, java, etc. for a few years. Tinyportal & SMF for a few short days. I can really recommend another,very good, free, editor.

Crimson Editor from http://www.crimsoneditor.com/

Syntax Highlighting for HTML, C/C++, Perl, Java, Matlab and LaTeX. Also, it can be extended for other programming languages based on custom syntax files.

Other features include undo/redo, user tools, macros, spell checker and more.

All are good ones..I prefer PHP Expert Editor, but EditPlus is also a fav these days.

There is a notepad similar one called Metapad. I have used that instead of notepad for a while now. Much better than notepad.
