title: Setting up a PHP environment using Atom ( for HTML+CSS+JS+PHP development)
body: <p>I’m seeking your support and expertise today. I’ve started a project using html, css, and js and I'd need to add php to the file to enter &amp; store data; I’m fresh to PHP programming- and before I begin to program my php file, I know I have to set up my environment for building php with Atom and storing my data to Workbench. </p>
  
  <p>My question, how do I setup ATOM for PHP development using MySQL Workbench on my Mac to connect to a local host viewed index.html file, and allow the user to fill out my form (my program is a simple invoice for quotes) on a html file and send the info back to workbench? </p>
  
  <p>How do I set up Atom, and what code do I use to connect my index.html file to the sql-workbench, or what do I have to do? What packages should I download, what steps do I take? any recommendations?</p>
  
  <p>I tried researching on how to set up the environment but still lost as to what to do. (Also, I'm open to other platforms that work as well with ATOM- so keep that in mind in your response.)</p>
