[TriLUG] php editor for windows

[Brian Henning]

As far as I know, this is called "use an editor and your browser."  Even 
if a PHP-capable WYSIWYG editor existed, it would (seems to me) be an 
incredible headache to make sure the PHP environment in the WYSIWYG 
renderer matched exactly with the environment on the server...next to 
impossible when you consider the potential use of external scripts, 
environment variables, data sources, etc...

Edit the code server-side with the text-editor of choice [insert 
appropriate CVS/backup strategy here], and surf to it with the browser 
of choice.

~Brian, who has always been wary of WYSIWYG editors...
