Hi all,

Is there a program that will work with php files and do the same job as
Dreamweaver? Bit of a tall order I guess.

Sadly, I'm a real novice working with websites and I'm not sure if
programs like Filezilla would do the same thing.

Cheers

Take a look at Nvu.

I can tell you...if you're a novice and want to make simple web
pages then you can use NVU or WebBuilder, which are very good WYSIWYG
programs that can make your web site in minutes and knowing ANYTHING of
HTML programming. But, if you want to keep designing and be a
professional in the website design/development I'm sorry to tell you
that DreamWeaver has no substitutes. I'm very sad to say this because
I'm a freeware/Open Source lover because it's better that way, but I
have touched by myself that DW and every Macromedia suit has no rivals
in the freeware (yet).

In truth, I'm not surprised. Thanks for the tips though.

And I can tell you that there is no good substitute for learning at
least HTML and CSS, if you want to make webpages which validate OK,
i.e. are written in correct code, and if you want to be able to solve
problems.

Just the time factor really Gerry. I take your point though.

Couldn't agree more, the best way to learn REALLY how to make a web
page is to code it and using CSS makes it very easier to modify and
gives elegance to your code.
