Scotty Posts: 205 From: The left coast-go Obama- Status: offline	How is dreamweaver with asp, php, asp.net? - 1/17/2007 21:24:29 Seems that most of the wysiwyg programs don't like either asp (Nvu) or php (FP and Expressions). Anyone know how Dreamweaver is? Regards, Scotty

In Preview it shows you yellow placeholders where the php code sits in the page. There are cheaper editors around that seem to handle it as well, I'm currently playing around with a few to find which I prefer, so if money is an issue then there are alternatives. Strangely FP is better with PHP than Expression Web. At least it leaves the code alone whereas EW tries to "fix" it for you. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Do you happen to know how it is with asp/php? I'm just starting a asp/php class so I don't even know how to check...yet. (What I'm looking for is something to get me through the course without the additional learning curve of a new wysiwyg). Regards, Scotty (in reply to jaybee)

Not going to happen, not even in Dreamweaver. When you open a php page in FP all you see is code, there are no previews. Unless you have your machine set up as an Apache server, you can't test on there either, you have to upload to a host to check it out. The difference between FP and EW is FP allows you to open and play with the code and it leaves it alone. EW tries to give you improvements and adds bits and pieces that you don't notice until you've uploaded and go to test and it's all over the place. If you're going to be doing PHP at College they'll probably suggest a good editor to work with. Coffee Cup seems to be OK for all documents but for a specialised PHP tool there are loads. I've worked with Rapid PHP which was good. DZSoft is supposed to be OK too. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

Look for educational versions, they have the same functionality but cost usally about 1/3rd of the normal price. _____________________________ Easy Web �Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.� (in reply to jaybee)


garyb Posts: 208 From: North Clarendon Vermont USA Status: offline	RE: How is dreamweaver with asp, php, asp.net? - 1/18/2007 13:27:33 I've used Dreamweaver for some pretty big database sites using asp with no problems at all. The code view makes it fairly seamless and there are no functionality issues that I am aware of. (in reply to mar0364)

Scotty Posts: 205 From: The left coast-go Obama- Status: offline	RE: Academic version of Dreamweaver - 1/18/2007 13:37:02 There is an interesting article regarding the (open?) use of academic software at this web site. http://www.edirectsoftware.com/academic.php Regards, Scotty (in reply to d a v e)

The $195 price says you are not allowed to make money by using it, hence, academic version. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to Scotty)
