Really you cannot go wrong with commercial software such as Adobe Dreamweaver.
However for a freeware solution to coding, i recommend Crimson Editor
It is a suitable replacement to notepad, and it has features like colour coded programming tags. It features many programming languages including PHP.
You can get it at http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ nathj 938

You should really stay away from Dreamweaver in my opinion. If you use the WYSIWYG editing in it the code it produces is awful.
I use AceHTML which comes as freeware and inexpensive commercial software varieties. Alternatively TextPad is a great text editor and you can download syntax files for it including PHP. You can also edit the syntax and the clip library files really easily.
Just Google either of those products and you could be up and running in no time. But please don't use Dreamweaver, it's over priced and not that good.
Cheers

There is nothing wrong with dreamweaver....
It has 3 views that the user can choose from, Code View, Design View or Split View. Code is identical to a text editor, Design works as a WYSIWYG and split shows both. If you use the "Design view" you probably deserve to have sloppy code (same goes for split view to be honest)!

That's the trouble with Dreamweaver - the cost comes at you because of the clever WYSIWYG Design View and so people use it resulting in poor websites all over the place. Granted it's better that the old MS Front Page system but not by much. I just think that it's over priced compared to other editors which are, for editing code, just as good if not better and are a lot cheaper.
I could use Dreamweaver in my job now but have decided to use AceHTML instead beacuse as far as code editors go it is brilliant.
I was just expressing an opinion, maybe a bit stongly, and warning against the temptation of the design view.
Sorry if I offended I was commenting on software and not developers. I know alot of people who use DW and I have a lot of respect for them and their work is excellent, like I say it was an opinion about a product.

Hey, no worries. We all have our opinions and I like the rest am often too quick to defend them. All is good as they say, and hopefully the little discussion will have helped in some way.

Any ideas why this won't validate?

If there are some functions in C ,welcomed.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
