new to forum

I just earlier posted that I was new to this forum and also to php.

I am trying new snippets and attempting to figure out how somethings work but have yet to find a way to look at a script to find the proverbial   " line 34" or whatever line the error is located at.

Is there a way/tool for me to use to be able to find where these lines being refered to are to find what is wrong?

Please excuse me if this is posted at the wrong place.

My file editor at my website will not give me this information.

Should I look for a special editor to use when I want to work on a php file???

Thanks for any help folks

just use a editor with line numbers, pspad is a good (free) one

I do most editing in Dreamweaver, that also shows the line numbers.

Me too, I write all my codes with DW, if you have the budget for dreamweaver then use it (there is also a 30 day trial)

The only file editor I know that gives you the errors without having to execute the page, is the Zend studio.

But I have to warn you that it is very slow....

BTW welcome to our neighborhood :)

Nick,

just remember me some conversation from before about java.

You told me that Java based IDE's are mostly slow because of java.

two weeks before some experienced php developers told me that latest versions of Eclipse are very fast and powerful

maybe we need to test this Java IDE's again?

Hmm, I wasn't aware of this.

Maybe we should give it a shot :)

do you have the time :)

Well you know me.... but I think I need a new editor anyway :)

Than you should try to get a new zend studio (maybe for free)
