I use Dreamweaver CS3 for PHP - is there a better option?

Most of my friends seem to use regular text for their programming php editors.  No need to connect to a database with my code.  I just want something that includes php functions and other, so that the appropriate boxes are highlighted.

Or as missing semicolons and other php errors are easy to spot.

Would you recommend me to? Or is there something that makes Adobe that is specifically for PHP?

While Dreamweaver CS4 didn t add significant improvements for PHP developers in particular, the new CS5 version is actually a huge step forward. Please take a look at the excellent review by David Powers: Dreamweaver CS5 is a good news for PHP developers

My recommendation? Well, if you consider Dreamweaver CS3 in general (not just talk the specifics of PHP) as overall useful tool in many areas (e.g. CSS, rendering, visual layout drafts etc.), then CS5 will be an improvement in these areas as well and might be interesting to try/buy. On the other hand: If you´re only interested in "whatever" development tool to give you advanced PHP support, the eclipse - based Aptana plugin or the Netbeans PHP IDE are both fairly thin tools.

See you soon,.

  • How to connect SFTP server using Dreamweaver CS3

    Need to put in place a new server - new (forced on me) host insists on International port722.  Using DW CS3 - I can do it somehow?

    Tried to manage sites - change etc.  Could not find a way. Have now no remote server after 6 years old use.

    This image is correct. To enable SFTP in Dreamweaver CS3, select the check box use Secure FTP (SFTP). This disables the other options: use the passive FTP mode, transfer mode using IPv6, Use Firewall, firewall settings and server compatibility.

    But, and this is a big...

    There is no field to specify the port number. The default port for SFTP is 22, not 722. 722, if necessary, I don't think that there is a way to do with DW CS3.

  • migrate to Dreamweaver CS3 for mac new

    I can't reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 after a migration to a new Mac hardware.  He worked under Yosemite 10.10.5 on old hardware so probably that the migration process is the cause of the problems.

    Someone has solved this problem already?

    Thank you

    Lynda

    As I suspected that to happen due to migration was from a machine to another.

    We always advise to install applications from the beginning on a new machine, as in the installation process, it creates a lot of files on different locations on your computer.

    When you migrate from one machine to another machine the chances of broken link are higher due to any folder name has changed, the directory path or permissions.

    When I select 'use custom for history setting' in the Privacy tab and press OK button nothing happens. He returned to the story to remember. I have Windows 7 and firefox 19.0.2.

    A problem that results is firefox remember now username and password on a new gmail account.

  • Using Dreamweaver ftp for the upload of a file to the issue of the host

    My local site is set up with links to the document root.

    The local root folder is defined as J:\xampp\htdocs\rootfilename\

    I did put something in the HTTP address field so that it shows only http://

    Once I set my remote site in Dreamweaver configuration, I have still some concerns about how dreamweaver will address some links in my localhost test environment, I changed some links to the full paths such as:

    http://localhost/rootfilename/filename.php

    So my question is when I do file transfer how dreamweaver treats these comprehensive links, it won't change localhost for the new host name and the name of the root for the name of the Directory directory root automatically for me (of course after I defined them in the configuration of the remote site)?

    And what of my path of file names such as my includes files that I had to do a full path example:

    include_once ("J:/xampp/htdocs/rootfilename/includes/filename.inc.php");

    Dreamweaver will remove d:/xampp stuff and give the correct full path?

    Thank you in advance for your help, I want to just make sure that everything is set up right before starting the transfer.

    No DW will not update the absolute paths in your code. Absolute paths be exactly how you typed on download.

  • Have Windows XP... Asking me to update Flash Player for videos but there is no option of XP

    All of a sudden without vids will play... I watch that version is not safe and I need to update... All update options for Windows 7, 8 and others, but no option for Flash for the XP system... Seems "allowing", I can get around...

    Two updated versions are currently:

    • 18.0.0.194
    • 13.0.0.296

    If you cannot install 18.x, then you would need to use the Adobe uninstaller program to remove 17.x. otherwise, Setup for 13.x will always tell you the superior version already.

    It has a link to uninstaller in our article of support here: Flash Plugin - keep up-to-date and solve problems.

  • Can I trust this site to clean my registry? __ou, is there a better option?

    I found this link on other sites more than three times.

    She claims to clean my registry and make my computer more fast (in fact, I got a laptop).

    Can I trust her?

    Here is the link:

    http://www.reghelper.com/RH/default.asp?aid=27560&site=1001crash.com&category=custom&creative=2799091277

    If you really want to do a scan of the registry (which is not really necessary), http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/?tag=mncol CCleaner is the BEST.

    Mr. teen geek did not recommend me this link as mandatory or similar incentives.
    Yet the link is neither Microsoft or a partner, I doubt the recommendation.
    I won't make any registry cleaner way, but given that others can visit this page and read the answer, in my view, an explanation of your part is in order.
    Thanks for your quick response.

    CCleaner is a good program.

    BUT its primary pupose is not like a registry cleaner.
    And I still say let this part of the program alone, do other more knowledgeable posters here too.

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/reviews/CCleaner/CCleaner.html

    CCleaner is a tool to clean your system from temporary and unnecessary files that accumulate over time. This includes also rather a cleaning of the traces of Internet and PC use as browser cache, files recently used, websites visited and more. You can select the items you want to clean and also specify cookies that should not be deleted.

    "In addition, the program comes with a scanner to register for references not valid (advanced users) and options to start cleaning automatically or the command line. (Slim version, no toolbar")

    Its main objective, explained above, is good enough to use.

    See you soon.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 10

    I worked with Dreamweaver CS3 for several years.  I recently updated from a computer running Windows Vista on a computer running Windows 10.  I don't want to buy the latest version of Dreamweaver, because it's so different from what I am used to that I have to learn from scratch... Is it possible to use Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows 10?  Are there other options?

    Is it possible to use Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows 10?

    CS3 is a legacy software is longer supported & never certified to work on 10 to win.

    That said, some people run it successfully while others have had problems.

    You clean reinstall CS3 after update to Win 10?

    Have you tried running it in Compatibility Mode?

    Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 10 support (was: 10 Windows)

    Are there other options?

    Sure.

  • Using Dreamweaver with site put in place. Local and remote server

    Hello

    I just dreamweaver cs6 and I have problems with the management of the site.

    So far, I used dreamweaver cs3 and when you set up a new site, the site definition had the local Info category and separate remote info.

    Now on CS6 I can't set up individually to the same site, it does not give the option, it's one or the other which he does not work for me if I want to test a page locally, through preview on the browser, otherwise it will download to the server if I choose FTP. If I choose only local then I lose all ftp settings and once I did the test it will not upload to the server.

    Certainly there must be a work around this or something Im doing wrong, but I do not understand what it is

    There is no need to uncheck remote and testing. Previewing locally should work exactly as it did in CS3.

    You use a language on the server side? If so, expand the files Panel by clicking this icon:

    Then, make sure that the test server icon is selected.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 won't open - tried all of the solutions posted

    After using Dreamweaver CS3 on my desktop PC Windows 7 (64 bit) (HP Pavilion P6320Y) for well over a year with no problems, it suddenly won't open.    All other CS3 applications continue to open very well. I tried some of the other solutions out there, I've seen on the net 1) looking for files that could meet the criteria of 8192 KB of bug, 2) reset back to XP, compatibility mode 3) I reinstalled the program, 4) I ended the process in Manager tasks, 5) I looked for configuration *.dat files to remove a person mentioned and found all those who have been appointed as he suggested. I'm puzzled. Someone at - it ideas?

    Everything on this thread, without success tried.

    Found this page:

    Problems during the installation or opening Dreamweaver on Windows 10

    through this thread:

    Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 10 support (was: 10 Windows)

    The instructions are:

    1. run CMD as administrator

    2. Enter the command: sfc/scannow

    [It can take 20-40 minutes to run]

    3. repeat Dreamweaver.

    It worked the first time for me, but I tried all the other suggestions in this thread first, so I'm not sure if it was a combination, or just the action of the sfc/scannow .

    Thanks to all the above suggestions and support from the community.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 and Microsoft Access

    I'm currently building a website using Actinic v9 CMS and Dreamweaver CS3 for a project. I posted the same topic on Actinic forums.

    Actinic has a built-in connection system and it uses a Microsoft Access database (I think that the version 2000). What I'm trying to do in Dreamweaver CS3, is to create a secure registration function. Basically how it works is as follows:

    A php script runs and passes on the information on the form to be temporarily stored in a MySQL database. A javascript written a password generated randomly to be read by php - php send an email with the attached code and user name - also temporarily stored in MySQL.

    When the user enters a hyperlink in the email, they will fill in their user name and the password - password is then recovered by an another php for the MySQL database by finding the correct username. A Javascript will see if both match and answer 'true' or 'false' for the php script. If this is true, php will retrieve all user data from the MySQL server and put it in Microsoft Access database of Actinic. If it's false, php will write the code is incorrect and ask the user to retype the fields. After five attempts, php will wipe away the registration of the user of the MySQL database and will have to re-register.

    What I need to know, it's can handle MS Access databases and how Dreamweaver CS3 can help me with this? I have already learned how to manage MySQL in php, it's that I never used Access to the web databases before. Until I started with Actinic, I don't think you could.
