lost tech Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Just wondering if anyone has ever had this problem and if they know of a solution. I know alot of you will probably think I live in the stone age using FP, but I'm still learning and my job likes Microsoft products. Anyway, whenever I code in PHP (as sloppy as it may look) for some reason the code won't display in the design view. I have set the editor to respond to php, but it still doesn't show. Is this normal? Or is there a way to work around it? Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrimlow Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 PHP is a server side only language. There is nothing to display in "design" view. In other words, it takes a web server with php installed to a: interpret the instructions, b. process the html to display the instructions it had received. It is not a "browser" side language like html. Using any hand coding friendly editor is fine for php. But using editors like notepad and Frontpage are not recommended for php because they don't color code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
