I don't know what is happening here but I can't get save as to work in Rapid PHP 2008 v96 and v99 in this very specific situation:
I have a php document in RapidPHP and I preview it using my local host on my computer with FireFox3. I then right click in FireFox and select 'open with editor' > Rapid PHP which opens up the html in Rapid PHP as expected. But now I can't 'save as'. Nothing happens when I click save as.
Any thoughts?

Sounds crazy. I mean this should not be possible. Anyone else?

It does seem a redundant situation to me; why would you want to do it this way? You already have the file; why do you want to save a linked preview of it?Karlis wrote:Sounds crazy. I mean this should not be possible. Anyone else?

Re: 'Save as' not working after local preview in FF
If I right click in Firefox, I don't get an option to 'Edit in Editor -> Rapid PHP' - is this using some add-on?
If the file is already open in RapidPHP, sending it to RapidPHP again will open a second copy, no? Why not just ALT+TAB back to Rapid PHP?

I have a PHP file in RapidPHP and I want to look at and save the html that it would produce. And yes, the right click option could well be a Firefox developer extension.It does seem a redundant situation to me; why would you want to do it this way?

Yes I could also use the debugger and I can work around it, but my question was about the odd behaviour of Mr Blumentals software.
I do quite often want to look at the html that a PHP file is producing so I can check it's doing what I expect.
This is not a major thing - I am very happy with the software. It just intrigues me when something doesn't work as expected.

Gotcha. It would be handy in that case.

If you set up the debugger, you can make it display output in the editor by simply pressing the "Run" command.
Setting up the debugger is described in the knowleddge base on our Support pages.
