Good day guys!
Im an Information Technology student and I have been planning to practice web programming.
What would be the best application software that I could use for basic php and html programming..?
Does it also support web designing on the application..? I would really prefer user-friendly softwares.
Hello Keithotzkie.
You will need a web server for testing you php and html codes.
For the web server, I suggest you download and install XAMPP (https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html). XAMPP will give you a preconfigured Apache web server with php modules enabled. It will also have MySQL running. Everything will be set up for you after installation.
For coding php and html, a simple text editor will do. You could try Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) with its syntax highlighting enabled to help you in coding. If you prefer a WYSIWYG IDE, try WordPress (https://wordpress.com).
By the way, all the software suggested above are free to download and use.
Good luck!
