UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 Bug Reports Help - what might I have done?

I don't see what I have done to deserve this! Can anyone shed some light on where I might look if I get variously these errors:

Okay - I solved this one too. Weird.

This is something to do with one or other of the tools I am using to edit php/html pages.

I normally work on my Mac accessing the files through Dreamweaver from a Linux/Apache server. I recently found an editor called PHP Coder Pro - I think it was someone's recommendatio on here. Unfortunately this only runs on windows so I run it under the Win 98 emulator picking up files off the shared Mac drive. I also wanted to use a decent editor to replace the text editing facilities in Dreamweaver so downloaded BBE Edit lite.

One of these two, or the process of picking up files from the Mac drive and putting them back there from the PC must screw up the ends of lines and only when you look at them in the KDE editor on my Linux box does this problem show up.

God only knows how many of them I've got in this state, but what a nightmare!

Does anyone know of a Mac based PHP Coder type program that would prevent this problem? I can probably access files direct from the linux box from within the Win 98 emulator but then I'm introducing another software control hurdle if I do that and bypass Dreamweaver's site management functionality.

On the Macintosh, BBedit -> save as -> options -> line breaks=unix.
N.B. I use the commercial version of BBedit

Thanks...I will check that. I might try to stick to running with the PHP Coder and just take the hit of shifting between Mac and emulator. I was worried that it might have been that that was causing it.
