Before you can start with your PHP programming, you will surely need some few things handy. To be able to create a PHP page, you will need to have a simple text editor. A text editor is a small program that enables you to edit files in plain text. Usually these files are those that have extensions like .php, .html, .cgi and many others. This is an essential tool because your file , when saved should not be formatted, it should be saved in plain text. Notepad is a simple text editor that works only on Windows and Text Edit is another plain text editor that solely works on Mac OS. Next thing you should have is an FTP. This will be used to transfer files to and fro to a remote server. When you already got them, you can now start creating your PHP pages.
