Is there a way to point to a windows CHM file for the help PHP option?
For some reason, RapidPHP can no longer display PHP help. I see the option, but nothing happens.
I may have deleted the old CHM file, so how do I point Rapid PHP 10.0.2.118? Is there a way?

Re: How to point to my own Help Files
I would think the 'link' to the help file is hard-coded into the software so it wouldn't be a matter of editing a registry key or anything like that. If you can't find the original CHM file, it might pay to either try reinstalling your existing version or do a parallel install of an older version, copy the help file out of the installation folder, uninstall the older version, put the copied CHM file into the current version directory (or anywhere else you want it) and set up a Windows short-cut to it. A hassle I know but a possible workaround.
Re: How to point to my own Help Files
I don't know if it's the same in RapidPHP as it is in Webuilder but you can specify the location of the PHP file under Options/Preferences/PHP Settings.
However, although it opens the PHP help file if I use the link under Help/PHP Reference everything works fine but using F1 for 'Help on current item' doesn't seem to work any more. Nothing happens at all. No help file is opened.
I've checked that the keyboard shortcut 'F1' is still set correctly and I'm using version 11.2.0.129.
Anyone else suffering from this problem?
thanks
