I would like to be able to open a php file and edit it from a browser window. We need to easily add website to this file.
We will have a hidden, password protected area that we will use to edit this file.
Is there an easy way to do this? If so how?
Thank you.
Jump to PostThere are a few options
1st would be JoomlaXplorer if you are running a Joomla system
This is a very good method of editing files and includes pritty syntax highlighting which makes it much easyer to edit

Never used it but told its quite good
You could use the PHP file manipulation. i.e. create your own version of a string builder to create the files for you.
This could be more hassle than it's worth. I would suggest an IDE with robust error-checking and all the rest of it and then FTP, but having tested it on a test server first, however I do see the attraction. If you have a team working on the site, you can use check-in and check-out.
