yo i have a really good idea website (but i'm not going to tell you it or this thread will be locked) anyways what program should i use i need some way to make a account thing like newgrounds has how you login and stuff... what program should i use would dreamweaver work

I do all my php programming in Notepad. You'd have to have some programming knoledge to make a site like Newgrounds, and it would take a while for someone, or me to explain it. Tutorials are the way to go, and self-testing. http://www.pixel2life.com, http://www.phpfreaks.com, http://www.phpeasystep.com, etc.

You need to learn a server side scripting language such as PHP, and a database like MySQL. Check out the link to PHP: Main in my sig where there's a lot of tutorials on stuff for accounts like logins, and signups.

PHP:Main has some good tutorials
As does http://www.tizag.com/phpT/index.php
http://www.codedatabase.co.uk/php/ may be of some help after gaining a little PHP knowledge
and a little bit of http://www.spoono.com/php/

Buy a book as well. There's no quick fix for your website, unless you pay someone to make it for you.

I use Dreamweaver for coding, but you still need to learn the language. It isn't going to do the work for you, plus you could just as easily do it in Notepad like blah569 said.

I can't understand why some people use Notepad for their programming. Dreamweaver 8 offers syntax help while your typing.

But yeah, learn some PHP and MySQL and if I understand correctly what it may be used for, learn some stuff on Injections.

It makes us feel like we're cool because we can write our code independently of any syntax help. Plus, it's quicker to open and faster to use. You have a lot of control over exactly what you're writing. It's just a good plain program to use for writing code, than to have something popping up over and over giving auto snippets of code that could be used there.

But we all have our own opinions on what's best to write code in. Personally, I tend to actually use Zend Studio after I've written the code in notepad to check syntax and the such for me, and for testing of code. I also have coded just in zend. But notepad is good for just quickly opening up and programming. It's just more light-weight.

Couldn't agree more. It depends what I'm doing as to what program I'll open, just to edit a couple of lines of CSS or PHP I don't need syntax highlighting, but if I'm coding a massive document it helps to have it.

Combo of Notepad and DW works best for me.
