IMPORTANT: Please read carefully

You are free to use any development environment that you are already using (if any) and access to upload files to a remote server. Otherwise, I highly recommend using CodeAnywhere to write your PHP code. 

If you have never coded PHP before then you may not be aware that the code needs to be run by the server engine prior to being displayed on your browser as HTML.  You therefore need to set up your server environment correctly. If you do not have experience of setting up a server environment then simply use CodeAnywhere.

Due to the huge number of possible platforms and editors I cannot offer support for third party development environments.  However, I will happily support you if using CodeAnywhere as it is the editor I use throughout this course.

There are many additional benefits of using CodeAnywhere including:

1. there is a free 7 day trial if you would like to test the environment.  If you do like it then you can get the paid version for only $3 per month.  Otherwise feel free to use any alternative PHP development environment).

2. it is cloud based so you can use any computer to login 

3. if you are having any issues with code during the course you can share your code easily with me

4. if you need additional help with your server then I can log in and help (provided you are willing to allow me)

5. if you wish to upgrade CodeAnywhere to a professional account later then you can (otherwise just use the free version)

If you experience any issues with setting up your PHP for Beginners coding environment on CodeAnywhere then please let me know via a private message and I will happily help you out.
