Dreamweaver :: Cannot view design mode for .php

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Dreamweaver :: Cannot view design mode for .php

Post by sharky »

I've installed dreamweaver MX 2004 on my MAC. I just realized today that I cannot view the design mode in .php but .html works perfect. It's like the design mode cannot be clicked at all. The code view is all in black, like a text (.txt). Whenever I create new .php file, everything goes in black as in .txt. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance

Not familiar enough with the dreamweaver MX 2004 version .. but if i'm not mistaken and feel free to correct me if i'm wrong but dreamweaver won't have anything to show with server-side code in the design view. At least that's my guess, but then again i don't use the design feature much with dreamweaver anyway. But i'm sure it has to do with the fact that you're using server-side programming (php) rather than client side design (HTML, javascript, etc).
