display php files in dreamweaver

[ilikephp]

hello, I have this form below for example:

I tried it and it works well,

but when I put it inside the dreamweaver, I see only the icon: "php"

how can I modify inside it if I want? so I can see the buttons,

because I used to remove the <?php and include in order to have the form displayed.

 

thanks...

 

 

<?php

 

    include("connect.php");

 

   

    echo " <form action=?action=form method=\"post\"> Please selcet your age : 

 

  <input type=\"radio\" name=\"age\" value=10 checked>10 years  || <input type=\"radio\" name=\"age\" value=11>11 years

 

 

  <input type=\"radio\" name=\"age\" value=12>12 years  || <input type=\"radio\" name=\"age\" value=13>13 years

 

 

  <input type=\"radio\" name=\"age\" value=14>14 years  || <input type=\"radio\" name=\"age\" value=15>15 years

 

 

 

  Now please enter your First name :

 

  <input type=\"text\" name=\"fname\" value=\"First Name\">

 

 

     

  Now please enter your Last name :

 

  <input type=\"text\" name=\"lname\" value=\"Last Name\">

 

 

 

  <input type=\"submit\" value=\"submit\"> || <input type=\"reset\" value=\"reset fields\">

 

";

 

 

  if($_GET['action'] == 'form')

 

      {

 

  if($_POST['age'] == "" | $_POST['fname'] == "" | $_POST['lname'] == "" ) { echo " Please fill all forms in "; }

 

      else

  {

 

  $age = $_POST['age'];

  $fname = $_POST['fname'];

  $lname = $_POST['lname'];

 

 

  echo "Hello ".$fname." ".$lname."  Your age is ".$age." Record enterd in the database as well.";

  mysql_query("update `members` SET first_name='$first_name', last_name='$last_name',  age='$age' ") or die(mysql_error());

 

        }

      }

?>

I don't think what you're asking is possible.

 

You're asking if Dreamweaver can parse your PHP? I think you'd need some kind of special IDE for that.

The only thing dreamweaver can do with PHP is write source it cant do anything else.

so when I create new forms, I should put at the end the <?php... ?

I'm sorry, but if you don't know when to put a <?php then you REALLY need to go find some tutorials or something...

[ilikephp]

no I know where to put them, But my question is I should remove them in order to display the contents of my text, because If I keep <?php... I only see a php icon.

Just use the <? at the start and end of each piece of PHP, then you'll be able to still see the rest of the elements in the design pane.

Ah sorry, I didn't understand your question. My bad.
