Hi there,

I earlier asked if there is any good open source software version control
systems out there that I could use for my PHP project. I was recommended
Subversion, but having spent an hour looking at it, while it looks great, I
want something that has a GUI.

So maybe I'll have to pay for something, but if it has an intuitive
interface and mean that I and others who I work with do not have to learn a
whole lot of new commands and can get going quite quickly then great.

All we want to be able to do is store different versions of code, know who
made changes and be able to roll back to old versions etc. Therefore the
basic requirements of a code control system. What we do not want to have to
do is learn a new language or spend a lot of time getting to know how it
works.

So is there something like this. Someone, in the NG said SourceSafe corrupts
software? This is enough to put anyone off but is it true. We could PHP in a
Windows environment (even though the PHP runs on Linux boxes).

We actually even code in dreamweaver when the HTML and PHP is mixed.

So can anyone recommend software for GUI loving PHP / MySQL developers.

Cheers

Dave.
