php converstion

[Holyman]

So, my buddy is insisting I need my site to be php to make my life a ton easier. The only problem is that I use frontpage to edit and update my site.. I have some limited code knowledge, which is the reason I'm using frontpage..

So, he converting everything to php, but I have no clue how I'm going to edit and maintain the site yet..

I was hoping I could get some clues on how all of you maintain your php sites.. Does everyone just deal with the raw code? Is there a good html to php conversion program out there? Is this just a bad idea since I know nothing about php??

Thanks for you help!

Dreamweaver

I would also head over to sitepoint or one of the other design forums to read a few things. Some great tutorials there!

Hi
i prefer the site build to be in PHP so its alot easy to maintain the site
and the best software to use that is Dreamwear as Kaus mentioned in this Post

All the best

I use the Zend ZDE... its more of a professional programmer setup than dreamweaver so it may be more than you need/want.

but frankly you cant use notepad or wordpad... there are a ton of free editors .. .and front page will edit php files as well.

Ill go with Dreamweaver , i think you must learn some basic HTML to learn how to manage websites.

Yes DW is one of the best for website.
BUT be careful, DW do lot of things (alone), and not always good think
( change link, add f**ing html code....)
i use the "code view" to make the code, and best behaviour is separate code and html/design ...
