using php in frontpage

Please don't beat me for it, but I am using frontpage for the html and inserting php around it. This all works fine, but once I change the extension to ".php", the page won't work right with the navigation structures. Just wondering if anyone knows a way (or work-around) to make this work.
Thanks

the best thing to do is to either get dreamwaver or do the html in frontpage and later insert the php code in note or something....
i do both....

The problem isn't being able to use php. Frontpage has menu components that let you insert menus very easily. In order to use these components, you have to build a navigation structure in Frontpage. Once I give the ".php" extension to a page, it won't work in the navigation structure, therefore my menus don't work on that page.

Frontpage is not the tool to use if you're trying to put PHP in there as well (most would argue that it's never the tool to use but hey each to their own). Getting hold of Dreamweaver (or learning to hand-code HTML - it's really not that hard) is what you should be moving towards. I think you're very unlikely to get suggestions here, that aren't just repeats of what Qads (and now I) have said. You never know, there could be someone else here who's not afraid to admit they use Frontpage...
