How to Edit PHP Files

PHP is a server side scripting language used in creating dynamic web pages. It is possible to use third-party PHP applications on your web server. However, some of those applications have files which need to be edited to work correctly. PHP files are text files that have the .php extension. They can be opened in any text editor. Text editors will be found on any operating system, or you can download a free text editor designed for programming.
