PHP based website.
 

I would like to know what would be the best program to use to make a php based website. I was thinking about PHP-Nuke but I wanted a few suggestions first. Anyone know what I should use to make a php website?

you are right! php is the best.

i used vim to make my php website ;)

Perl, since you can also code in C++ in perl... or maybe Ruby, that is a new language out of Japan. Its lik Perl but OOP.... but as for me.. I stay with what the forum is.. PHP

where can i get vim?

You can find vim here: http://vim.sourceforge.net

but I dont think you were looking for an editor, which is what vim is.


I would also be interested to hear what ppl use to run their websites and manage content in php. Template systems or CMS's... that type of thing.

You can browse sourceforge

check this out:
http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/t...83&discrim=243

All site management tools... would still be really nice to hear what ppl are actually using and recommendations *hint* *hint*

phpCMS is good. phpNuke is good. writing your own code is good too.

And an interesting if somewhat ugly approach is to use the add-ons (PhAKT et al) that turn Dreamweaver/UltraDev into a PHP development tool. That way you get great site management, easy-to-use HTML development, and some very powerful tools that get you away fomr the dirty work of PHP coding. It has some drawbacks, but for small sites it can get you a fantastic looking and working site in just acouple of days.
