I am using Quanta as a web development tool. Unfortunately, it does
not work with php. Is there a editor that does both php and html?

I use bluefish, of course, I code from memory and with documentation lying around. I dont believe in the "code generating software"....

Does it do html and php? Where can I find bluefish? Its not a .com,
.org, .net or Suse 12.2

Thanks for your help.

Yo!

Bluefish has a site, but of course, it should be available in your repo as well...
This page offers more info, and there's a screenshot as well...

Thanks for all your help I can now start bluefish from a terminal. Do you know how I can
make an ikon on the desktop to start bluefish?

Yes I do, it's called a launcher. I suspect you simply enter "bluefish" in the console, okay, these are the steps to make a launcher:

- right-click on the desktop
- select new launcher
- enter the command you type in the console
- provide a name
- optionally select an icon

However, I'm surprised Suse (or Mint) dont have that in the repo so you can install that and let the system make a launcher for you....but then again, I'm not well versed with Suse or Mint...

By the way, I use XFCE, I dont know how this works in the other DE's...

Sorry, Suse12.2 does not work like that by right clicking on the desktop
a drop down menu appears with the following commands; Run Command, add widjets,
add panel, activities, Lock widjets, lock widjets, lock screen, leave, desktop
settings.

Click on run command a small screen asks for the command ie Bluefish a drop down
menu appears with a gear wheel and the ikon of the command you are going to run.
You click on the ikon and drag it to the desktop. Clicking the ikon runs the
program.

I thank you for your help, I have always wanted to know how to do that.

Sorry for joining the discussion late :-)

My 2c on tools to use: have you considered Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/)?

Hmm, of course, the crown of IDE's...if you can spare the resource, this is a must, of course...

And, sorry for my lack of intel on Suse, I was under the impression that thr DE (Xfce in my case) would handle all the graphical-point-n-click stuff, my bad, and now I've learned something, innit cool?

Thanks I have looked there, but I cannot find a php editor. The pointer is not correct.

Sorry, I should have edited the URL myself, and not let the forum software try and figure it out automagically :-)

The correct URL is http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/. This leads to https://www.zend.com/en/community/pdt/downloads, which you should also be able to access directly.
