hi guys.. newbie to php so please excuse me if this sounds silly.
i currently use dreamweaver to do alot of my website design. i sometimes purchase templates and edit them on dreamweaver (WYSIWYG) style.
now for the million dollar question - i have downloaded a test oscommerce template. i can update the catalouge and all however i want to make changes to the template. if i open it in dreamweaver it just brings up a blank screen with little php icons. What can i do so i can make all my changes offline and uploead it back to my catalouge in .php once completed.
i have changed the file extnsions to .html and NO it doesnt function properly. It doesnt seem to pull the data when i do that.
Any ideas on a php editor with a (wysiwyg) feature.
much appreciated.
stuck!

Well! question was not clear for me!
I think you have to install Apache and Php; then try in localhost.

PHP is a programming language. You can't edit it in a WYSIWYG. You will need to learn some basic PHP to edit those templates, and switch to the code view in Dreamweaver..

And changing your file extensions means it will probably not be parsed. Unless you edit Apache's httpd.conf.
