Can any of you coder dudes help me with PHP question/s?

I get the impression there are some programmers on this site, and if so I was wondering if I ask you guys some questions.

Right now, I have one particular problem I'm trying to solve that I could use some help with. In general, too, I would greatly appreciate a mentor-type who I could ask some basic (hopefully not too annoying) questions while I try to re-learn PHP/JS.

Danke, NC.

i wouldn't mind helping out, although i am certainly no expert. However JS and PHP are what i know best as far as web programming goes

Hey guys, thanks for the offers!

I actually solved my first set of php problems on my own, but I'll surely need help more in the near future. Although I can hack around, I don't consider myself a programmer, and could definitely use your guys' help, if the offer is still on the table.

One thing I was wondering: what text PHP editor/environment do the pros you? I'm currently just using DW and XAMPP, but I imagine there are more sophisticated set-ups than that. Any advice for the noob?

I work remotely 99% of the time. I have xampp installed for the rare occasions I need to do something locally, but most of my work is client work. I used Dreamweaver for a long time as my main IDE, mainly due to its awesome ftp system, which up until about 2 years ago no other ide did too well. Currently i use Aptana on the day to day. Its got better remote file handling than Dreamweaver, error highlighting, as well as debugging javascript and php.

Aptana is ideal if i'm working on a project that requires a good mix of html, css, javascript, and php. I use Zend editor for php heavy projects, simply because it makes php debugging extremely easy.

Isn't xampp like a pre-packaged LAMP stack? I've never used it.

XAMPP is a prepackage LAMP stack and its pretty nifty. Especially on windows, where getting things configured isn't as easy as in linux. It's fully featured, making sure you set up security, and it includes all the 'good' php stuff. It's an awesome tool

I don't use an IDE myself, since I'm a small time coder. I'm going to take a look at Zend though, since everything I do is heavy on php. I just hate bloated software. :\

Edit: I tried out Zend Studio, and I'll definitely be using that from now on. I unfortunately don't understand how to use PHP unit sessions to debug though. Not completely sure how you can debug a non-compiled language.
