I thought that a good introduction to using php would be to follow a tutorial. However, it's designed for use with Nvu. I know that Nvu changed its name some time ago, but can't remember its new name.
For a first attempt it would be easiest to use an interface that is closest to what the tutorial describes. I'd expect to be able to do the same thing again later using any other web editor, but not this first time. Can anyone point me to either the renamed nvu or to whichever editor is closest to its interface?
Thanks

It's now called KompoZer (and no, it's not a KDE app, despite the 'K' name). Apparently, the original Nvu is no longer developed by Linspire, and as they own the trademark, the fork had to be renamed.

I know kompozer - I've used it in the past (and didn't realise it isn't KDE until a few weeks ago). It's a lot like seamonkey-composer, but then they have the same roots, I believe. All the same, I've never seen anything like the display that they show in the magazine. It always seemed quite simplistic. Maybe I should look again. Thanks

All very confusing. Nvu from http://www.net2.com/nvu/ looks to be exactly what I need, but it seems that nvu is concentrating on windows and kompozer is being recommended for linux. Kompozer as I knew it must be an older version. Like seamonkey composer it does not handle form insertion, so it's no good for this purpose. Turning to that website again, the version linked from there apparently is quite capable. However, the rpm supplied is tested against FC7 and Mandriva 2007. I did try it, on the off-chance, and it stayed up just long enough for me to see that the interface is the new one, but it crashes almost immediately.
They supply a src tarball, but 'built with gcc/g++ 4.0.3 on Linux 2.6.15'. Being totally inexpert, I edited the mozilla/.mozconfig but running ./configure brings
checking for gcc... gcc-4.3 checking whether the C compiler (gcc-4.3 ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables
Am I just inept, or am I trying to do something that's unlikely to work?

---- I am pretty much a quanta person (kdewebdev package) and my second choice for pure html editing is bluefish. The last time I used nvu, it was OK but nothing to jump through hoops over.
for building packages, you are going to need at least...
yum install gcc-c++ gcc autoconf # should bring in other requisite libraries
and depending upon the library needs for the package you are building, probably gtk2-devel and others
personally, I would just recommend you install/use kdewebdev (Quanta) or Bluefish

It was really a matter of language - when they list menu paths or mention a button-name. When you're doing something for the first time you're not entirely sure that the thing you think is equivalent actually is :-)

I had come to the conclusion that it was worth a try. I have both quanta and bluefish installed, and I fired up quanta. For the most part I managed the first part - the ui design - except for almost the last thing where it asks for a text area. I added that but it says to set it to 5 rows by 40 columns. Unlike the text entry boxes I didn't get a properties box when I added that. How do you do that? Thanks

OK, I sussed it. Just add cols="40" rows="5" after the name. Arghh!! Now it assumes that I've got mysql set up. Google to the rescue.

Kompozer is actually the newer version. Nvu 1.0 is from 2005, Kompozer has a release from 2007 (0.7.10).

Yes, the one I'd used before was the older version. I installed the new one, but it wouldn't run. I'm assuming some problem working with KDE4, but I was short on time, so I didn't pursue the matter. I found that I could work in Quanta+, though, and it wasn't much of a problem to find things, even though the layout is different.
Thanks for answering
