Although it has a similar syntax to Perl, the text is embedded with special PHP tags, so the developer can actually go back and forth between using PHP and HTML. This is convenient because it can decrease the amount of HTML codes that need to be written. Another reason that people use PHP with regularity is the fact that it can communicate across a number of networks using different protocols such as IMAP, HTTP and even POP3.

The original developer of the language was Rasmus Lerdorf and he created it in the mid’90’s. However, it has undergone many different re-incarnations and version updates since’98. These upgrades have become a popular reason why the use of PHP web development has become one of the favorites used by web page designers.

From its rudimentary beginnings it has evolved into a tool that is can be used for a number of different purposes. Examples of where it is commonly used include standalone graphics and command line interface applications. PHP Web Development is able to be used on almost all servers and operating systems. The software is free and currently has 5 versions, each of which has built upon the one before it.

The latest version has been engineered to decrease security issues and other problems that were associated with earlier PHP models. When version 6. 0 is available it will have the added bonus of being able to support Unicode, which the current version can not do at this time.

PHP web development is one of the many languages used by developers. Some are better used for dynamic applications, static applications or for web based usage. For more information, do a little research on the internet and download a copy.

Whenever you build a new website, you can almost guarantee that you will make mistakes and that there will be errors within the site that need to be fixed before it goes live. Adobe Dreamweaver has a number of tools for helping you to locate such errors and correct them. The program allows you to perform browser compatibility checks, locate broken links, orphaned files and locate syntax errors within your code.

Site testing should be an integral part of building a web site and not an isolated step which is performed after the site has been built. Every page that forms part of the site should function correctly in all its aspects in all of the browsers which the site is designed for. Using Adobe Dreamweaver’s various reports is a great way of ensuring that your site is error-free.

One of the first things you should do is to preview your pages in as many browsers as possible. Dreamweaver’s Preview in Browser feature allows you to set up primary and secondary browsers and then add as many other browsers as you like. Each time you choose File – Preview In Browser, you can choose any of the browsers you have configured. You should also try to preview your web pages both on PCs and Macs. This multi-browser testing is particular important for testing that CSS and JavaScript is functioning correctly. What works well in one browser does not always work in another.

At the web page level, you should also check both the text and the markup of each page. A simple omission made by many web developers is to check spelling. Naturally, this can be done in a word-processor such as Microsoft Word, prior to bringing the text into Dreamweaver. However, even in this scenario, it is quite typical to make further changes to your text within Dreamweaver. It is always a good idea, therefore, to run the spell-checker on every page. In Design mode, simply choose Check Spelling from The Command menu.

Another type of error which you should try to eliminate is broken links. These are, if nothing else, a potential cause of annoyance to your website visitor. Dreamweaver’s Link Checker will look for any links to pages that do not exist as well as locating orphaned pages; i.e., pages that do not have any links pointing to them and which will therefore not be found by your website visitors. To access Dreamweaver’s Link Checker, choose Check Links Sitewide from the Site menu.

About Dreamweaver: Originally produced by Macromedia and currently by the Adobe Systems, Dreamweaver is an application for web development. With the help of Dreamweaver, which integrates different aspects of web development including site management, page creation and web server tools, users can get a good outlook of the whole website. Various technologies like JavaScript, CSS and several frameworks and serverside scripting languages like ASP, ColdFusion and PHP have been given support by the new versions of the application. Both Windows Operating Systems and Mac supports Dreamweaver.

Features: Though Dreamweaver is a hybrid WYSIWYG and an application of code based web development and design, its WYSIWYG mode is able to hide from the users, the pages’ HTML code details which make the creation of sites and web pages possible even for non-coders. The creation of table based layouts is very easy with this application. In the recent versions, the application has focused on supporting the standard based layout with the ability of converting tables to layers.

The locally installed websites in the web browsers can be previewed by the users using Dreamweaver. Site management tools like FTP, SFTP and WebDAV features of synchronization and file transfers, templating features which help in the source update of shared code and layout of the whole sites without the server side includes and scripting, are present in this application. It also has the ability to use regular expressions and search items to find and replace code or text lines across the full site.

The third party ‘extensions’ can be used by Dreamweaver for enabling and extending the application’s main functionality. Many extension developers, who make available the free and commercial extensions, support Dreamweaver for many web development tasks ranging from fully featured shopping carts to simple effects of rollover. Also the files can be edited locally by Dreamweaver, and using WebDAV, SFTP and FTP, upload them into the remote web server similar to the other HTML editions.

Drawbacks of Dreamweaver: Dreamweaver has the potential of producing HTML pages with file size and HTML code amount bigger than a page which is optimally hand coded. This is a drawback, as it causes the poor performance of the web browsers. Earlier, many website developers have criticized Dreamweaver for producing codes which do not comply many times with the standards of W3C. There has also been a poor performance by the Dreamweaver 8.0 on the Acid 2 Test that had been developed by Web Standards Project.

Syntax Highlighting: Syntax Highlighting is supported by the latest versions of Dreamweaver for the languages like ActionScript, ASP.Net, Active Server Pages, C#, ColdFusion, Cascading Style Sheets, EDML, Extensible Markup Language, HyperText Markup Language, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations, Java, JavaServer Pages, JavaScript, PHP, Visual Basic, VB Script and Wireless Markup Language. For many of the above mentioned languages, code completion is available and you can also add to its repertoire, your own language syntax highlighting.

Language Availability: Various languages in which the Adobe Dreamweaver is available are English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Swedish, Polish, Turkish, Portuguese, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional and Brazilian.

It is kind of inevitable that Adobe Dreamweaver is so popular and so widely used. It offers the general user a way into the world of web development without first having to learn too much about the technologies which are used in building modern websites. Among the powerful features which Dreamweaver makes available to inexperienced users are preset CSS layouts, accessibility guidance, HTML guidance, CSS guidance and standards compliance. Let’s look at how these features are implemented and how Dreamweaver can make you look good as a web developer before you know enough to look good on your own.

Whenever you create a new web page in Dreamweaver, you are given the option of basing the new page on one of the preset CSS layouts built into the program. Using CSS for page layout requires a fair amount of experience of the quirks of CSS and is no job for a beginner. Simply by choosing the layout which is closest to their requirements, users can go ahead and create CSS web pages which will work and which can be customized to suit their requirements.

Dreamweaver automatically displays useful alerts to remind the user to incorporate accessibility features into the elements being placed on the page. Thus, for example, each time an image is added to the page, a dialogue box will appear which contains a box for the user to enter the alternate text. Similarly when adding a form element, the form accessibility dialog prompts you to enter both and ID and the label text.

Most new users of Dreamweaver will also be fairly new to web development and may still be a little shaky on HTML and will typically build web pages visually using Dreamweaver’s Design mode. Whenever I run a Dreamweaver training course, I always make new users aware of Dreamweaver’s tag selector feature. This consists of a hierarchical display of the element which is currently selected on the page, the element which contains that element? and so on, all the way up to the BODY element which of course contains all elements on the page. Clicking on one of the tags displayed on the tag selector cleanly selects the corresponding element. Also, right-clicking displays a useful set of options such as “Remove Tag” and “Set Class”.

The Properties panel is the most used of the Dreamweaver panels and it too offers new users a lot of assistance. Unlike previous versions of Dreamweaver, version CS4 makes a clear distinction between structural attributes (which are displayed in the HTML tab of the Properties panel) and CSS attributes (which are displayed in the CSS tab). For example, if you select an element which is already controlled by a CSS rule, the Properties panel will allow you to edit the rule. If there is no rule, it will prompt you to create one.

Look for services with an ISO 9001:2000 certificate of quality. Of course, this may not be the end all be all, but it is something important to take into consideration.

Any consideration of a company and their services must include clear communication.

Over the years, a good PSD to HTML conversion firm will have developed its own proprietary processes to ensure that the customer gets what they expect. Make sure that the markup you receive back looks exactly the same as what you sent, and if not, question it.
