Hello,
Just to say somthing first, YES I LOOKED AT NOTEPAD++, it does not support php highlighting, plus, when I try to download ANYTHING off on sourceforge, the page never loads, it's just a blank page for ever, and it's not my internet connection. So what other editors are there that support PHP Syntax highliting that is NOT on sourceforge.
Thanks,

Actually, Notepad++ does support PHP syntax highlighting; you just need to choose which language it is before it will highlight the syntax to that specification. Another one that I have used in the past is called PHP Coder.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I downloaded php-coder.
I directed it to the php phaser, It works! One more thing, Can you add varables to the url such asthephppage.php?var1=hello&var2=world?
Thanks,

Do you mean like how this forum attaches a variable like so:

If so, then yes. Simply code the page like so for any variables you want to pass through the url:



<?php
$var = $_GET['var']; //extract var from the url like page.php?var=blahblah


Hope this helps.
