PHP Compiler

[Olly79]

Hi all:

I'm very new to PHP and was wondering if someone could guide me in relation to what compiler you use to generate PHP scripts, forms, etc... I'm use to Frontpage/Dreamweaver for the creation of HTML web pages/sites, but was wondering if there is such an interface for PHP?

Many thanks

Also, You can code in Dreamweaver, just select dynamic page, and then PHP. It wont compile for you, but it will make everything look pretty and help you with syntax (sometimes).

PHP is an interpreted, not compiled, language. There are 3rd party compilers available that let you make standalone applications using PHP, but that's not the intent of the language. By large, it is supposed to be embedded into pages containing other kinds of content, such as HTML etc. Larger PHP applications do use lots of files containing only PHP code, but its primary purpose is to output other data formats.

Just to addon to everything else, some people do make a PHP IDE but I have never used it my self. But I'm sure its probably aimed at begineers so you will probably benifit from it.
