Does your script execute on some php server ? You need the path to php.exe and php.ini, but if you didn't set it then you wouldn't be able to debug at all.. The problem also might be that you're using short tags like <? and not <?php .. its a php.ini setting.

Start with some basic stuff, get a php book in some pdf format, you'll find some on google. So when you read it, do the stuff practically.

Basocally to set up your browser(s) go to Options -> Editor Preferences -> Browsers and browse your hard drive by clicking the rounded box with the ellipsis (...) and locate the .exe file for the browser(s) you have. You must also go to Debug and tell PHP Designer where the php.exe is and the php.ini and also the root directory that your webserver uses like htdocs (apache) or www (IIS)

Wow, I just downloaded this to see what it was like and I think I've found my new PHP application!! I used to normally script in Dreamweaver but this has an EXCELLENT debugger! One script I was having problems with was quickly debugged!

I love it!!

Well, I just noticed that PHP Designer 2007, the version 5 has been released, don't know for how long it is released, but you can get it on the phpdesigner website, I myself just downloaded it, but didn't use it yet, because it is time for me to get ready and go to the university, so I just wanted to put a notice on this. So anyone if is using PHP Designer, can write some comments? Reviews?

Dar, I just noticed that it isn't free anymore It requires you to register or else you can use the Personal package which does not have special features.. I remember I read about PHP Designer, that he liked it to be free, now maybe he saw a lot of perspectives to get some money from it :/ Oh Well.. I rather use the old free version PHP Designer 2006..

I took a quick look at the PHP Designer 2007 website and am not at all pleased. I am going to stick with the 2006 version I think. In 2007, there are many disadvantages unless you want to pay. Almost none of the tools are available. At least in 2006 there was no split. I guess PHP Designer got popular enough were the owner saw a way to make a profit, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I know I wont be going to upgrade to 2007 unless I hear from others that tell me there are some real advantages to it. Because from the looks of it, I don't see much. If anyone does get it, I hope to hear their comments about it. I'm curious to hear how they could make improvements on the free versions.

Do you know any sites that actually use this? It looks like a great program but I need to know what sites it has been used for.

Also, it looks fairly advanced. Can you just copy and paste a script into it, for instance, a news box, and it will work or do you have to actually edit the document?

What are you talking about? It is a PHP IDE, an Editor mainly for creating, reading, editing .php files with a lot of features.

What is the difference what kind of sites were created with this program? You can create a one page html site with it, but you need some kind of html knowledge to do that - it is an editor and it won't create anything for you if you're just going to click the mouse, it has some things you can do with a mouse click, but just for people with some knowledge to make it faster for them to write the code.
