WeBuilder - Using Internal Preview Through IE And Firefox

Post by Mr. Dark E »

I am very pleased with this program! :D

But I have a few questions:
Does the In-Preview Actually Refresh? Because I have it set to 1 second and it doesn't refresh itself.

Also, When I preview it with IE, it doesn't update sometimes. But through Firefox it does. Is it a problem with me or the program itself?


Oh yes, I'm programming in php.

Also, this isn't the program, but does anyone know how to set it to show the php errors on screen? I have Apache installed from apache.net and Php from php.net

EDIT: Using Version 7.2.0.68

Because the preview works via a web server, the preview will not auto refresh, as the file will have to be 'saved' first. You have to click 'Refresh' manually.

What do you mean about php errors on screen? If you run a php syntax check, it will display the first error - do you not get that?

well that's not fun if I had to refresh manually. Then it would be pointless to have the auto refresh in the Options then.

Anyways, I know about the syntax check.

I am talking about setting up the php errors through apache/php so i can see it on the browser. But i'll go google for it, Thanks anyways.

The preview is live for local files, however for web - based files it is not technically possible for it to be automatic, as it would slow down the whole editor.

Also, you should see this:

Okay. I have a new problem.

When I click F12 to preview, All it would show is the code and not process anything. Have I cicked something in the Options to do that?

And It says I didn't configure the program to view php files. It worked earlier today but now it's not. Can anyone give me a clue about what's going on?

Are you sure your webserver is correctly configured and running properly?
Is the php file you're working on saved in the web root of the web server? (just for testing)
If you browse this file in your browser does it work?
Is it just this one php file thats not working, or all php files? Maybe a simple php file (echo "test") might work.

it is. I was using it earlier this week and for some reason it just stopped work.

the php file is saved to the document root folder on my drive where everything shoulud work.

And yes, I just opened the file and it appears to work but not through the program. It's weird I have everything configured for it to work in the program but it doesn't want to cooperate.

weird. I did a test for HTML and pressed F12, and it works. Then I tried to press F12 for a php file, and it just showed a preview of my code.

Nevermind. I figured out what was wrong. I was dumb and didn't realized I was opening and saving to the wrong directory.

Thanks for all the help though!
