Red Faced A working enviroment
Hi guys,

I'm new and hoping I post this in the right forum, if not, please move it and excuse me.

Our situation:

Me and a friend are starting a programming project, we're both very expierenced PHP programmers and have plans to create somethings.
Now the thing is, to take an easy example,
I create a file test.php containing a basic Hello Earth script,
I upload it to the FTP server and as intended, I greed earth in my browser,
now my friend creates a file test.php containing a basic Hello Mars script,
He uploads it and there you have it, my hello earth is replaced by hello mars and my file is lost.

What we want:

We are looking for a way we can both work on the same project without deleting each others work.
It sounds like a typical case for SVN, however neither of us have access to a server that we can use, and unfortunatly SVN does not work with just FTP.

Thanks for reading my issue,

Milan

Is there a reason you aren't working in separate subfolders? Also, why can't you use one of your machines as an SVN server? Any reason you aren't using WAMP for local testing?

GIT my friend, GIT. Its distributed, so you don't need a server. You can just push and pull to and from each other. There are plenty of free hosts out there for SVN, GIT, HG, ect, but the free plans usually make your source public (and have other limitations.)

SVN is nice.
