can you be a little more specific? i use dreamweaver mx 2004 at work, and i've never run into a problem... keep in mind that php is server side, so it will all be parsed before any of the html is even seen by the browser... with that in mind, it doesn't really matter technically where your php is placed, however, for readability, you may want to set some guidelines for yourself...

sorry i will clarify i wanted to know how to embed php in the dreamweaver mx 2004 generated code. This is because this code differs markedly from the html code which is explained in books

 

i would appreciate any help in this matter

i think you mean how to get to the code:

Just above the main design screen, click "Code". To start a PHP code block, type this:

[!--PHP-Head--][div class=\'phptop\']PHP[/div][div class=\'phpmain\'][!--PHP-EHead--][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]<?php

[/span][span style=\"color:#FF8000\"]//and to end, type this:

[/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]?>[/span]

[/span][!--PHP-Foot--][/div][!--PHP-EFoot--]

 

if you're talking about the colouring....hope this helps:

 

In Dreamweaver (inside a PHP code block):

Predefined functions are blue

Comments are orange

Text in Quotes & Numbers are red

Statements (if...else...for) & Booleans are green

Variable Names are black

Operators (+, =, -) are blue

Globals(?) and Superglobals are cyan/light blue - sry cant make the colour...

 

I think that's it...please correct me if im wrong, and if this isn't what you're looking for...sry.

 

Hope it helps. cx409
