Hi, I have PHP Master Editor installed on my comp. ( + PHP Engine itself of course ) and it can run php scripts, but the problem is that when I'm trying to work with forms, it doesn't run the php page that I wrote in action and also it doesn't accept $PHP_SELF and says that it's an undefined variable, does anyone know of a good php editor that can run my forms too?

You will have to run your scripts through a webserver to get the full functionality of PHP, then most editors can be configured to use the local webserver to parse PHP pages. I could suggest http://www.firepages.com.au/dev423.htm + http://www.editplus.com but people might get the wrong idea !

Thanx firepages, I'm not gonna join the dark|ASP side! I saw your site b4 ( very brilliant ) but I didn't think that I'd talk to you one day! Anyway, I'm gonna install your phpdev and just one more question ( maybe I could have waited to test it after installing your phpdev! ) : Can I open any php page in IE like opening a normal html page? When I install the personal web server of course...

Thanx to everyone, I downloaded phpdev and it's just amazing! Now I have a full web server on my comp. that I can run my scripts easily by typing "http://localhost/myPage.php" + a ready forum + mySQL and apache!! Installationg was really easy ( especially for someone like me who doesn't know anything! ) and I don't think that I need a editor anymore! Thanx firepages, you did a great job.
