audixieboy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I am a pup at this, noob you might say, but I cant even download the scripts to follow along with my second addition book. My teacher just gave me this book and told me to get to it. I feel pretty ashamed to not even be able to start. I clicked on the script link, downloaded them, extracted them and they have the blank icon. Nothing programed to open them up. I would have thought notepad but it does not work. Also the titles scripts, string, quotes. Why are they not 1.1, 1.2, 1.3? Am I downloading the wrong material? Also this TEXT EDITOR? what is this? could this be the problem? My univeristy computer does not have a text editor program? So lost please help... Need a big bro bc Im sure this is just the start to my PHP nightmare to come this summer.

Antonio Conte Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Notepad should work. PHP is not a compiled language, so you can look at source code with any text program, but you should rather download an IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans. (Available for both Mac/Windows for free) I would think your download just simply screwed up or something. Try downloading again and see what happens. This just sounds weird. Just a tip: if you want to develop PHP, check out Xampp. It will give you a possibility to develop locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'd recommend you start with my "PHP for the Web: Visual QuickStart" book instead. It'll be smoother sailing for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
