file association

[makaveli]

forgive me im new to linux. fedora 2 install was painless.all seems well. i have 1 problem trying to open .php files to edit but have this pop up about associating with whatever.i havent a clue how to configure this . maybe someone can help thanks in advanced ..

Install a php-editor. e.g. Bluefish is a nice one. And theoretically it will associate it automatically. Or you can just start an editor and open the file you want to edit.

thanks for your reply ill look at bluefish

[Jman]

When you right click on a file and select open with > Application, you go to the file types dialog. You know you're there when the window says Edit File Type. You can also get there by clicking Main Menu > Preferences > File Types and Programs, and then selecting the Software Development > Source Code > PHP script entry. Click edit and you're there.

Add the command you want to run to the bottom of the Edit File Type window and click OK.
