I think what Kit is trying to say is that there are some IDEs available for PHP with debugging abilities. But, this will still not help you (if not confuse you even more). So, start from understanding that, applications in PHP work little different thtaq the pre-compiled ones such as in C or Java. PHP is triggered by something like your webserver. What else you can do is, set .php files to open in DOS with PHP-CLI. That could be something like what you ask. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net
