[FX.php List] Problem with text formatting

[Chris Bisgard]

I have to agree with Kevin regarding the site management power of
Dreamweaver. I have used Dreamweaver for plenty of PHP development, and have
found that you can get it to play nice with your code if you configure your
preferences right. The most recent few versions of the program have allowed
you to control whether it rewrites any code for you. 
 
And just to add two more cents... I have recently started using Zend Studio
for a lot of my PHP scripting, and I really like it, especially for
PHP-specific code hints. It will even check your code for syntax errors as
you type.

Hi,

Thanks guys; I've been using Dreamweaver (hard to stop after a long time
using it), and when you switch the view to the WYSIWYG view, it updates the
page. I could see that, after I replaced the META tag, that the Japanese
characters changed a bit... so I think it's already done.

At Devcon I saw a nice demo of Textmate and CSSEdit (thanks to the good Joel
Shapiro), which I vow to start using, but Dreamweaver's really handy for its
combination of preview, FTP, and code. However, yesterday it really messed
up a page I was working on; I added a table row above my FOREACH code for
cranking out records into a table, and Dreamweaver most kindly deleted my
PHP code. It took me quite a while (it's a really complex page) to find it
too... very aggravating. A good reason to bail on Dreamweaver.



If it helps at all Bob, I use Dreamweaver as my main dev environment (on
both platforms) for HTML, PHP, CSS and JS. I also occasionally use
SubEthaEdit and Text Wrangler on the Mac, or Crimson Editor on Windows. I
have to qualify that by saying that I almost never use the design view, but
treat it more like a web IDE. I find that the only time I get into trouble
with Dreamweaver is when I use design view, as it writes code for you then,
and I'd prefer it didn't. The site management features alone are worth it
for me.
