yeh ... notepad can view php --
if you are working with a person on the site -- or if its your client. Maybe they dunno what to edit so you should add comments like ADD TEXT HERE FOR MAIN PAGE?

I might be wrong, but I think Firefox can show PHP.

a document with .php at the end needs to be relayed through a server before it can render in a browser, since it is a server-side script. If you don't have a server that can relay .php files on your home computer, then you can't view them in a browser. They need to go through a server first before they can be viewed (in a browser).
I think any application that can aid you in programming HTML for the web has the ability to allow you the right tools to program in PHP.
This seems like an intersting program, and it looks free: BlueFish

http://www.mpsoftwar...phpdesigner.php someone posted this one up a while ago, and for something that is free it is nothing short of brilliant.

I don't really think that his client wants to download a program to view her site. Maybe I am wrong, but if I was a client, I would like to be able just to see it without hassle.

Then you can do one of two things. Save it as .HTM, or upload it to a webserver.

Why not just have her send you the .txt files? or a Word doc, and you can copy and paste the info from there right into the site. That might be easier than fixing the clients mistakes in the HTML.
