Didn't we establish the fact that it is going to do that to you in design mode within dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver probably isn't the best spot to try includes for php etc. I am not sure if dreamweaver includes it's own php files so it can check syntax etc, but yea. If not you may have to install php on your system locally.

 

For me, I just as well use apache and php with notepad++ for all my coding.

I have seen it done before wherethey included a file in dreamweaver and it was there, what is this about echos av heard about cause none of that is in my code.

 

Thanks Again

My experience with dreamweaver and includes in the design view is a weird one. The other day I am working on my header.php which has two includes, a css file and an html file.

 

The css wasn't being reflected in the design view, instead it was the default font. Yet, the html file was being shown in the design view.

 

To make a long story short. CSS wasn't showing up as an include but HTML file was.
