While the page that eventually gets thrown onto a browser is in HTML, zencart uses PHP to compile the pages.

A "html editor" is therefore of no use to you.

PHP code is basically a set of instructions that FETCH and DISPLAY somthing, or DO something (such as process the data in a form).

And it FETCHES (or DOES) something "on-the-fly", so each page that displays in a browser is a TEMPORARY page. It is not "stored" anywhere as HTML on the server. When a person clicks another link, the page they are on "evaporates" - (goes away forever) and the PHP builds up a new page.

The CONTENT for the pages is stored largely in the database, and in DEFINE statements (constants) in various php files.

Your design and layout is controlled mainly by CSS, with some elements of layout governed by PHP statements, and others by "switches" in the database.

There are some very good online tutorials for PHP, CSS and MySQL on the internet. Go to www.w3schools.com for some simple lessons.
