Hi.

I have recently acquired a php website which has a search function etc.

 

I want to edit the layout and change a few pictures on the website nothing technical.

 

but i downloaded all the files off the server and tried to edit it via dreamweaver but when i open index.php dreamweaver only show 1 little picture and a frame from the homepage.

 

I belive i have to set up a link with my server but i am stuck and nothing seems to work.

 

Any help appreciated

 

i would like to understand php a bit more so it looks like some tutorials for me

 

cheers

Are you looking at the design view? Make sure you're in the code view.

Um, it doesn't sound like you've looked at the code yet. With PHP, most of the action happens behind the scenes, so there isn't much you can do without going through the code.

 

There should be a button near the top of the page for "Code View" on Dreamweaver...from then on, just search Google for tutorials on PHP and come back if you have more questions.

I only want to change a picture.

 

do i have to learn php to do this?

Look at the heading called "Src".

Try posting the code for index.php.  Perhaps it includes the contents of a few other files, in order to create the design for the page.

Ok i can just change edit the jpeg.

 

so there is no way at all in editing the php file in design view?

And be sure you wrap it in code tags!

 

If the file is long though, please attach it.
