wildteen88 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Dreamweaver wont parse your PHP code when you're in Design View. Instead you should setup a Site Definition and perform a Live Preview instead. IMO Dreamwever should only be used for HTML/CSS. It has very limited tools for editing PHP scripts.

ilikephp Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I had the version 8 and I did not change anything, just installed the cs3 version. I made a site definition any idea?

wildteen88 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ive not used DW in a long time. but there should be a live preview button which should launch your web browser and open your website. This is the only way to preview your webpage layout that has PHP code.

jcombs_31 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Just like he stated, you can not use the WYSIWYG for server side code, it will just show you a php tag but can't render the view. CS4 has integrated a live view inside of dreamweaver, but other than that, you need to code in the code view and then view in a browser. As far as coding in dreamweaver, I use it for pretty much all of my php work. It has pretty good highlighting and code completion which is really all I need in an editor. I've been working with dreamweaver for quite some time and I think it is a great development environment. People often look at it like another frontpage but there are some pretty nice features that have kept me using it for quite some time.
