cldeluna Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hi,I am trying to display a report (set of returned data from a mysql backend). The site was made with Dreamweaver templates and other PHP code works but that is code that is called by the form. For this report I have php code in line since all it will do is display a report. It is witin the editable region of the HTML file.Once I run the page and view source below is the excerpt I see in the view source window. Nothing displays on the form other than an empty table.Obviously below I'm just tryint to get any php code interpreted. I've tested the SQL statement and the program outside the dreamweaver HTML file and it works.Any suggestions?Thanks in advance! <td><!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="page_body" --> <table width="200" border="1"> <tr> <td>[!--coloro:#CC66CC--][span style=\"color:#CC66CC\"][!--/coloro--]<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--]</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table>[i] [!--coloro:#CC66CC--][span style=\"color:#CC66CC\"][!--/coloro--]<?php$chapterTitle = 'PHP Syntax';$message = "The chapter you are currently reading is $chapterTitle";echo $message;?>[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--][/i] <p> </p> <p> </p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4784-php-code-not-interpreted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Unless the code is an include file, Dreamweaver-generated, or extension-generated, Dreamweaver won't show it in any helpful way, just as a block of PHP code.

sgb162 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 If you're looking to test PHP files offline, I think your best bet is to download and install apache. <_< Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4784-php-code-not-interpreted/#findComment-16867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PHP file on it's own works just fine. It's when I either include it into the Dreamweaver HTML file (based on a template) either directly or via an include file that it is not interpreted.So the commands in a PHP file I call directly work, imbedded (or included via the include statement) within the HTLM file is not interpreted. When I view source I see basically either the code or the include statement. See example from my first posting.Thanks!

sgb162 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 For any PHP to run the file has to be saved as a .php file. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4784-php-code-not-interpreted/#findComment-16872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 That seems obvious. What Dreamweaver version are you running? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4784-php-code-not-interpreted/#findComment-16956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
