Question

PHP Programmer and Dreamweaver

I would like to hire a PHP programmer. I have old php code in dreamwever, that needs to be updated. Can I ask for a PHP programmer here, or can anyone give me recommendations where I can find a PHP programmer, who also knows Dreamweaver? I liked using Dreamweaver because the original programmer showed me how to use the validation option before I pushed the html edits in the page.
Thank you.

    Nobody cares which brand of coffee I drink or which tools I use to create code.  It's irrelevant. Tools don't build web apps, people do.

    Some tools are better than others and Wappler for instance, will be a good tool for some because it has the options to get those with less knowledge further. I personally don't like it because it creates its own 'style' of code outside of that recognised by the industry. If it created genuine Vue code or React code, even Javascript or genuine php code, which is widely documented and used, then I'd definitley be using it. I can't use any tool which  I view as spewing out 'bastardized' workflows. It matters to me, others not so much. There's something for everyone.

    I agree.  I've nothing against DMX Zone, mind you.  They have much to be proud of.  But I don't use Wappler.  I gravitated to WebAssist's MySQLi extension simply because the PHP code made more sense to me.

    Unless you buy the third party extensions from DMXZone or WebAssist, DW no longer has any kind of database functionality built into the interface. Adobe had said they would bring it back, for about the last year, but changed their minds and put that on hold while they fix other problems with the program. Everything would need to be hand coded, and really any website development company that works with PHP could do it with ease, there's no need to limit yourself to finding a DW-specific developer for this.

    As for validation, DW just uses the online validator at http://validator.w3.org/nu (well, the /nu is new, but it's the same validation tool available freely online).

      The Dreamweaver development team made a promise to me back in 2012 that they would resurrect server behaviours. They are now so far behind the eight ball that they have lost the game. 

       

      I now use Wappler

      Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
