txmedic03 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Well quit trying to use Dreamweaver to do PHP. Take what you already have and insert your PHP includes using notepad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I've been using Dreamweaver for PHP code for a long time, and it's always worked for me. There's no reason to entirely drop Dreamweaver because of one little error. Instead, just re-create the page-it isn't that big. See if that helps.

txmedic03 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I'm not suggesting dropping dreamweaver because of one error. I'm suggesting dropping dreamweaver because it does not properly format xhtml and php. At least not in Dreamweaver MX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Then upgrade to DW8. Valid XHTML and PHP formatting. Isn't that expensive either. Besides, some people just don't have the time or want to learn an entire language.Besides, this is the Dreamweaver Help forums. If your help is to say "get rid of Dreamweaver" then please, find another forum for it. If you want to help people fix their problems with Dreamweaver, then please do so. Not to insult you or start an argument or anything, just saying what I think.As for the locked code, again, just putting the whole thing into a brand-new page should do the trick.

txmedic03 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sorry about that, didn't notice the dreamweaver help bit. I use the RSS feed and just look at the message title most times. I still say for this particular problem you can just as easily open the xhtml file in notepad insert the php and name it with php extension and be done, but I am biased against dreamweaver and all other WYSIWYG editors because I have yet to find one that formatted xhtml the way I want it done. I am very particular about my code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
