PHP Code Editor script needed

[Marc]

Hi,

I am looking for a script that will allow me to edit my code online then save it. (It will just be the code in a text area). Not a wysiwyg editor (Just an HTML editor eg. Dreamweaver in Code View). I know that you can do this but i cant find it anywhere! I have googled it and it all comes up wysiwyg editors

Thanks,
Marc.

Theres an editor called pspad (http://www.pspad.com/) which is very useful. it allows you to connect to your server then CTRL + S to save the file directly to it. You can also open multiple tabs and work with many different languages in it. It's really good.

I wouldn't recommend saving directly to the server just in case you have a large page that you're working on and need to save it throughout working on it, you wouldn't want the page to be messed up on your server. PHP Designer is a pretty good editor and I think it's free and it has a built in FTP. I use the Zend Studio which has great code completion and I love it. It's a little pricey though $300.

Hmmm, I think you're missing my point. I need the editor to be online so that the person editing it does not need to FTP it. It will be a kind of text box with the code, at the bottom it will have a button to make changes so that if i am on a different computer i dont need to have an HTML editor eg. Dreamweaver. I know that you can do this but cant find it :S.

Cheers.

I have tried using cPanel to do what you want to do, and I strongly recommend against it. My experience was that the "save" feature was unreliable and sometimes saved corrupt data/incomplete data. And you don't have any backup to your work.

Setting up ftp, or file or db upload, is more trouble but IMHO worth it. Plus if you set up an upload page, you have the flexibility to limit permissions and validate data, if you ever want it.

I'm not missing your point, but since I don't have the answer you're looking for...

If the problem is a lack of ftp access (i.e. ftp blocked by a firewall), you could use net2ftp. That way you can use any local text editor to make changes, then upload the file via http. HTH
