Jump to PostPHP is a server side Pink Hypertext Preprocessor. Basically php processes content stored on the server before it is presented to the user. To get php you can google xampp or wamp and will allow you to view php files on your computer. As for dreamweaver, don't use it.

Why dreamweaver shouldn't be used ?
Because it adds code that is not necessary ?

You did answer your own question. But there is more. There are things possible with PHP that you can't do with programs like dreamweaver.

dreamweaver lets you do anything that someone else has already thought of and programmed in.
Not using dreamweaver, lets you do anything that someone else has already thought of, and anything that no-one else has thought of yet

I write my PHP code mainly on a Linux machine and use Quanta+ for it. Sometimes when I edit PHP under Windows I use HTML-Kit or the default Windows notepad. But Quanta is a lot better.

I have a simple portable ide (devphp from sourceforge) installed on a thumbdrive to take to clients offices, they like the image of being able to display php changes locally, but code in notepad++ when actually working

Im still a student and need to know some tactics in real life, not how we are thought at school.
