	I have already noticed that.  Both the code completion and especially 
the syntax highlighting are the best I have seen in a program.

	True, I don't expect Quanta to write the code for me :).  Which visual 
options are you referring too?

	Where is the debugger?  I noticed an older one called Gubed, but it 
does not seem to be maintained anymore, not for three years based on 
their web page.  Is Gubed still useful?

	I have setup both Apache and PHP without any problems on my Kubuntu 
machine and my little 386 Debian server.  One of the two main problems I 
have is with the MySQL.  It is a pain and a considerable amount of work 
to set it up and to make sure all the databases and user names are the 
same as my website.  If I was writing a PHP/html site without MySQL I 
would use a local test machine for sure.  Unless you know an easy way to 
get all my tables and users over to my local machine.

	The second problem I have is that even if something worked on my local 
test machine that does not necessarily mean that it will work on the web 
server.

	When my site goes "in service" I will seriously think about using your 
advice because at that point it would be nice to make sure something 
works before putting it online.  At the moment I am just developing the 
game and it is not in use, so I can play with it as much as possible 
without bugging anyone :).

	You can take a look at my site if you like at 
http://engarde.elementfx.com.  It looks very bland at the moment because 
I decided to do the html and css at the end.
