Hello everyone. To start, I am a total newb when it comes to website design/editing.
Here is my deal:
Last year I had someone build me a website for my business. The website is: www.suarezcapital.com
My host is phpwebhosting.com
Now, I just downloaded CoffeeCupHTML Editor without realizing that my individual webpages are actually PHP.
Am I totally screwed? All I want to do is edit out some basic text and add some images to my website. Any idea on how to go about this?
Again, my apologies for being so poor at all of this!!!
Need help! Need to edit my PHP...

Hi John.
Actual php code can not be read by viewing the source code in a web browsers, so it is possible that I can't see some of the code for your pages. the good news is that most of a .php web page can still be written in basic .html, like your pages seem to be.
Your "managed accounts" page, for example, has all of the text in the main body written in between html "tags" and you can open that page up in any text editor, including the CoffeeCup HTML editor and change the text. If you don't want to mess anything up, just change the words that you want to change and leave anything that has < and > around it.
Example:
<p align="justify" style="font-size: 13px">Suarez Capital Management (SCM) is proud to offer clients a simple and effective way to participate in the foreign exchange markets through our <span style="font-weight: bold">Managed Accounts</span> program.
Leave the <p align="justify" style="font-size: 13px">
change the Suarez Capital bla bla bla to whatever you want,
Leave the <span style="font-weight bold"> and change "Managed Accounts" and then leave </span> program.
I hope that explains the basics.
One important last step................
When you save the page, make sure you save it as the same name it was, and with a .php extention. The html editor will default to a .html page, so be sure to save as .php because an html web page will not display your php content.
Give it a try on a test page and see how it goes. Come back here for any more questions you have and we will be glad to try to help.
Good Luck
