Whats a good program to write and publish php?

I am just learning web design basics. I have a website written in php and running on a SQL data base, and i need a program to download it and to re publish it as needed. I can use frontpage but i dont think it handles php well. Can I do this with frontpage or can u tell me another program to do this?

Most WYSIWYG editors do not handle PHP particularly well, though if you feel you must use such a tool, Dreamweaver is the only one that's any good.





I've found that Eclipse is very good. It has an FTP/SFTP plugin, and integrates well with PHP. Bonus: It's free! http://www.eclipse.org AND http://www.phpeclipse.net





Best of luck!
Reply:PHPEclipse or the Zend Editor are probably the most popular IDEs for PHP. However you can use any text editor. The IDEs just provide a lot of added functionality like code-hinting, snippets, debugging, etc.

Reply:i would recomend Adobe-Macromedia's Dreamweaver suite over Frontpage, as dreamweaver is


a) the more profesional of the 2


b) handles more styles of coding easly


c) works very well with images created or edited in either Photoshop or fireworks





but im not sure of how well it handles PHP, as i havent had a chance to try it with PHP
