DW going nuts after entering php codes

[pk698]

I use a template system to design my site in DW MX. when i put in php codes, the template just doesn't show up anymore. and i can't edit anything, unless I'm in the view source mode. .:mad:

what am I doing wrong? thnx.

happens to me too, u basically have to edit it freehand if u want to use php, if u know how to code php its pretty easy to jus use dreamweaver as a template maker and view it in ur browser as u code it.

so i guess this is a phenomenon for DW then....hmm.

and it won't display properly either if I preview it in IE. gotta upload it to server for the preview.

run server on your local machine and all is fine. dont use dreamweaver for php coding, learn php yaself.
