Dreamweaver adding spaces between each line

[Mutley]

As the title says, I keep getting PHP scripts opening with an extra line between each line of code, it makes the script twice the length. However if I open it in Notepad, it looks fine, how it should be.

 

What's causing this and how do I fix it?

 

Thanks,

Nick.

If you find out what's causing it, let me know, 'cos I want my code to be automatically shown double spaced 

 

Actually, I'm after an editor that's shows double line height but only has single lines.

 

If people get what I mean.  At the moment I purposely add an extra line between each statement, I'm using

a PHP Optimizer on the server anyway, and I just find I can read code better with more space between each

line.

Found how to repair the files but not fix it, it's to do with the format OS used (Windows/Linux/Apple).

 

In your code:

 

Find: (press Ctrl + m twice)

Replace With: (press Ctrl + m once)

 

And it will remove all the excessive lines!

Im having this problem too and Im not happy about it. Its screwing up my php scripts.  Does someone know how to turn that crap off in DW CS3?

I found another solution.

 

If you download the files in 'Binary' mode with your FTP, it removes the extra lines.

 

It seems when the file is edited in different applications and uploaded / downloaded. It adds these extra spaces. Binary mode fixed it for me.

The solution is very simple:

 

Edit > Preferences > Code Format > Line break type: LF (Unix)
