Hi.
FrontPage sucks for working with PHP.
I've been doing all my coding by hand and that's fine as far as it goes but I just got
a promotion at work where everyone uses FrontPage so I bought it to see how I can use
it to show these old dogs some new tricks.
Nice program. Allows for workgroups where different people can work on different parts
of a project. That'll come in handy. It also has some nice tree charts to show you
where the project is branching out and generates some useful reports like where the
dead links are.
What I *really* liked about it was the ability to apply a common theme across all my
pages. Man, that was pretty cool. Plus, let's face it, using an HTML editor really
takes some of the drudgery out of designing your pages.
The problem is, if the web page that is designed with FrontPage doesn't end with a
regularly accepted filename extension like *.htm, FrontPage doesn't seem to really
know how to handle it and I need it to handle pages that end with *.php.
What are my options? I don't think I missed anything with FrontPage after scouring the
manual and online and inline help pages.
Anyone out there using an HTML editor that they'd like to recommend? Why? Are there
any FAQs I should be reading for this answer?
Maybe I should just use a style sheet for a common look and for the rest, suck it up
and take it like a man?
Yours,
Murph
