How to show php 'include' file in Design View?

Is it possible (in design view MX04) to show a php include
file?
It shows if it's <?php include('myPage.inc'); ?>
but if its got the .php ext, <?php include('myPage.php');
?>
its doesnt show.
Any way of making it show?
Cheers.
Os.

include file?
Yes.
Does the include file *also* contain PHP code?

TXT Files in Design View

I use a lot of TXT files as INCLUDE files in various pages.
When I used Dreamweaver 4 I had no problem editing a TXT file just
like any HTML file and using DesignView. When I get going with
Dreamweaver MX2004 I figured out how to do it. But I had to
reinstall DW MX2004 and cannot get it to look at a TXT file in
anything but CodeView - or call NotePad to edit it.
I have already removed .txt from "OPEN IN CODE VIEW". I have
tried going to MMDocumentTypes.xml and setting the Text type to
HTML - which is what I thought I had used before. That didn't work.
I've tried various combination of editing the Extensions.txt file,
too - with and without the MMDocumentTypes.xml file.
I know there is a way to do it - but cannot find the
way!!

I finally figured out how to work with TXT files in Design
View...
1. Go into MMDocumentTypes.xml and set the Text type to HTML
2. in PREFERENCES Remove the .TXT type from OPEN IN CODEVIEW
3. in PREFERENCES add the EXTENSION .txt and add Dreamweaver
as the EDITOR
The HTML in a TXT file shows up and is editable just as in an
HTML document

PHP include file not displaying in preview window

Hi all,
Hopefully I can explain this clearly. I have a website that
uses a sidebar that's common to all pages. In order to include this
"sidebar", I use:
<?php require_once "sidebar.php ?>
Now, originally on the page the whole sidebar html/php code
was in the page, but I cut it all and replaced it to include the
"sidebar.php" page. This way, when I change anything in the
sidebar, it cascades to all of the pages.
When I replace the original sidebar code that's in each page
with the "php require_once", close the file, and open it back up
again, the sidebar shows up as a small yellow "php" icon. It
doesn't let me "preview" it live anymore.
Is there any way to view what the php include file
has?

PHP Include File works but doesn't line up with the Rest of Page

Hi,
I am having a serious problem. I have removed my header image and have decided to replace it with a php include file so if any changes needs to be made, it can all be done in the php file in case such as links.
When I include the php file, it includes the file but for some reason the banner goes in one direction and the body goes in the other. Help me as I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Example Page (with the include file): http://www.specialist-events.com/events2.php
This is how a page looks without the PHP Include File: http://www.specialist-events.com/events1.php
Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
Junior

Hi Nancy,
Just to confirm what you are telling me I should do.
Change the code in the web page to:
<div id="header">

 </div>
so inside the layer 1 of the page, put the following code should be
<div id="layer1">

 </div>
and in the php file. Not sure how this will work as you are mapping areas of the image for links.
But I assume inside the map area, you would have something like <<a class="intro" href="http://www.specialist-events.com/index.html">home</a>
<div id="menu">
<a href="#content">skip menu ></a>
<a class="intro" href="index.shtml">home</a>
<a class="gallery" href="gallery.shtml">gallery</a>
<a class="tools" href="tools.shtml">tools</a>
<a class="portfolio" href="portfolio.shtml">portfolio</a>
<a class="fees" href="Fees.shtml">fees</a>
<a class="links" href="links.php">links</a>
<a class="contact" href="contact.shtml">contact</a>
</div> 
Am I correct

Where to put PHP included files?

I'm trying to transfer website from my PC to MAC,
hoping that I can finish it without changing any code.
But many of my php files have "require()" function,
and I can't find the php included files' folder.
Please help~~

I have a webpage on http://mysite.com/myproject
All my project files are in /Library/WebServer/Documents/myproject
(index.html, test.php, etc.)

Problems using a php include file with an Add-on Domain.

Hello,
I am having an issue getting a php include file to work with a new add-on domain I am working on getting up and running.
This include file is one that supplies the rest of the php code to a contact form page. It works as it should for my original domain, same file no difference. I made sure that the files hosted on the remote server had all read, write, execute permissions turned on.
I have tried putting the include file in several different locations as a test, such as:
I don't remember the exact name of the include file at the moment, as I'm at work so I will designate it below as 'includefile.php'.
file path for add-on domain - ../public_html/lorentzpainting/includes/includefile.php
alternatives I tried moving the file to - ../public_html/lorentzpainting/includefile.php
When none of those options worked, I tried just pointing the path towards other places on the server that have the include file such as:
../public_html/includes/includefile.php
../public_html/includefile.php
What can I do here? Should I just give up on using the include and put all the code back in the page? Doesn't seem like it should be this complicated, it works perfectly fine for my other site.. and still does.
Thanks ahead of time to those who may assist me.

here is the contents of the include file:
<?php
if (isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) && strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'],
'.inc.php')) exit;
// remove escape characters from POST array
if (PHP_VERSION < 6 && get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

                $val = 'Not selected';
// if an array, expand as comma-sparated string
            if (is_array($val)) {
                $val = implode(',', $val);
// add label and value to the message body

How to show the pdf file into the UIWebView from iphone documents directory?

Hi ,
I am working on web services right now I am getting string into base64 format. After decoding that string into NSData i am saving that data as a pdf into Document directory of iphone. Now the problem is that when I want to show the pdf into UIwebView then it is showing blank page. But when I am checking into /Users/pareshkarnawat/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.3.2/Applications/ the pdf file is correctly generated and working fine when I ope it.
How to show that pdf file into UIwebview ? or is there any alernative for this.
Any ideas on how I can go about this? I have looked at a few posts and still can't seem to figure it out.
Any idea's appreciated, thanks

The result is a UIWebView that displays a blank page. No errors occur in the UIWebView delegate method. The thing is that data has the correct length, in bytes, for the PDF I am trying to display, and I also get the pdf file in Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.3.2/Applications/ Does anyone have an idea as to what might be going wrong here or how I can better debug this problem?

How to link an image file in code view

I can't seem to figure out how to link the image file in code view. It has to be in code view because the image is hidden in Design View so I can't do it in HTML view. Here's the coded section:

                <div id="tab3" class="tabsGeneral">
                  <div class="tabsFeatureImageContainer asyncImgLoad" title="img/index/tabs/tab3/DonateNow-168x112.jpg"></div>

How do I move aiff files from the viewer to the timeline-it is not working when I click and drag or when I try to move the files to the overwrite or insert buttons-Thanks.

hi
You cannot move audio from the viewer
Mark your in and out points then in the browser grab hold of the audio tracks icon and drag that to the time line

Can't see .cfm files in Design view

Can't see .cfm files in Design view in Dreamweaver CC.

Hi pkregel,
Do these files open as intended in Dreamweaver CS6? I am not a CF expert but I am guessing that if you are able to open the files, then you should be able to see them in both the views. Can you post a screenshot as well?
Thanks,

Layout problem in mainContent section - PHP include file

Hi folks - I have a problem with the layout of a page.
I've included a PHP statement in the mainContent div that shows up way down at the end of the page here:
http://zazzlefan.com/index2.php
How can I get that content to fit just below "Featured Sellers - Al Rio Art"?
My CSS file is a slightly tweaked dreamweaver template
http://zazzlefan.com/twoColFixLtHdr.css
and there's a "zstore.css" file that controls the PHP include here:
http://zazzlefan.com/css/zstore.css
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance if you can.

Using DS3 or DW8 to edit php site files in design mode

Thanks in advance.
Kinda new to Dreamweaver and website design. Have a site
being designed in .php. I have downloaded the site folder, access
it in DW, but only Code Mode. Is there any way that I can access
the Design code mode to work with it as a php file.
Do I, can I save it as a web page/html, access it, make
changes, then save it again as php?
Or will I need to deconstruct, cut and paste together back
into the original php file?
This is very important as I will need to constantly update
and add content every day and I want to use the $$ DS3 Adobe suite
to work with the php based oscommerce site being built for me.
Unfortunately, my site developer has no experience with any
Dreamweaver software and is not exactly eager to find answers.
So, with great appreciation, I am hoping that someone can
lead me in the right direction. Too much wasted time and energy
just to find out a yes/no or how and how hard answer to this
question.
Peace,
stress-freeliving

Gary,
While a novice to using dreamweaver or coding a website in
general, I am not an idiot or a novice to the art and structure of
computer, i.e., software programming. I have a degree in
engineering; in the day, I programmed in fortran and associated
languages.
So, what I have been discussing this entire thread and my
overall concern is that I want to change content pages and use a
software package such that it will not interfere with the php
coding of the pages and associated function of the site. Are all
end users required to know code to add content -- if so, we would
have millions of programmers to handle the millions of websites.
What I want to be is an end user who can efficiently add
content to his site. I don't want to have to learn how to use php
instead of continuing to research and learning on other subjects
that I wish to share; specifically, the workings of the brain, how
to learn, how stress and sleep affect our lifestyles and what we
need to do to overcome our natural tendencies towards our/my type
'A' behavior. I have spent approximately 20 hours trying to dig
through this the last 3 days, including a few hours associated to
forums without any answers, even though there have been some very
helpful people spending their time trying to understand my
predicament.
So, I don't want to have someone design a website, primarily
a site that is information and content based albeit with ecommerce
functions that will require me to dig into or learn what the php
code for bold this statement, or make this a header, or insert
image here, define this text box with these parameters, etc., then
take the time to insert those specific codes in articles that I
have already written in a word document that should be able to cut
and paste and post effectively and efficiently in the average
website or blog. Is that unreasonable?
All I wanted to know is can I or how can I use the built in
coding tools in Dreamweaver in this (my opinion not the css,html
site I paid for) php designed site and upload it without wreaking
havoc on the system -- irrespective and outside of catalog listings
which should not have anything to do with pure content based pages.
Am I wrong to think that in the design of a site, that templates
for content pages and even the index page could be designed in html
and leave the database functions to the php?
The problem is that every page has a php extension. Am I
wrong to think that this ecommerce site could have been designed
with css and html that would have integrated somewhat seemlessly
with the $2000 software package???
Wisdom is trying to find the people that know more than you
do on a subject, hopefully experts, and ask them the questions in
the right mode to get an answer such that you can continue
proceeding on the same path or come up with a better plan. That is
what I have been trying to do.
So, as an expert in dreamweaver and ecommerce sites: can you
use non php based programming? Can someone design a site in
dreamweaver using OsCommerce such that an intermediate end user of
the dw can add content using the systems tools and not screw up the
structure of the site -- and do so without having to dig into the
page code every step of the way?
And, yes, I have googled the subject and looked through
OsCommerce instructions, help pages, etc.., to no avail.
It seems that I will take what has been made, complete the
project, then find some other way to efficiently and effectively
produce an ongoing dynamic content site that will sell some things
on the side.
I am trying very hard to communicate effectively with my
designer and maintain a positive, forward-thinking mode to create a
workaround to his design mode to allow me to effectively,
efficiently and without harm add to the site without having to type
a backslash in front of every daggone apostrophe or actually
<br> every carriage return in the 100+ articles I have
already written.
Can I create an html document in dreamweaver then upload it
to the php site? I was told that I needed to then give it a php
extension for it to work. What is involved in this?
Dreamweaver supposedly handles php files? How? Just like
Notepad or any other text editor -- without any of the Tools or
functionss?
And, how can I make changes to the index.php file? This is
FAR from a process that I envisioned when my site definition for
contract said: "Css based, 3 column design for content and
ecommerce that user will add content on continuous basis using
dreamweaver".
As you can tell. This is not what I got.

Unable to view php files in Design View?

Need help! I cannot select design view when working with a PHP document, the DesignView option is disabled?
My information.
- Dreamweaver CS5
- Mac OSX 10.6 snow Lepoard
I have searched online and I also went through the FAQ but couldn’t find anything relating to this particular issue and my Professor at school said that I need to contact Adobe directly as design view should always be available but all that I would see in Design View are the HTML elements within the PHP file.
The Design View button is disabled, I can not click on it all and so for my class assignments. I have to copy the PHP code into a new HTML document and only then am I able to view the html/php and edit the HTML elements, and then copy and paste it back into the PHP file once I have the html elements/design set up correctly.
I did a similar “Set up PHP for Mac OS X – MAMP” to the version available here, could I have set this up incorrectly and that is why Design View is disabled?
Thanks I appreciate your guys expertise and any help!

Go to Dreamweaver > Preferences, and select File Types / Editors from the Category list on the left. Make sure that .php is NOT listed among the filename extensions in "Open in code view".
Adding a filename extension to that list prevents files from being opened in Design view.

How to show a pdf file in bi publisher report

Hi All,
We need to show a pdf file as report which was saved in a given location. How to call that pdf file as report. We need to give a hyperlink in the report and when we click on the report the pdf file should be displayed.
When we open a report, there will be just hyperlinks to call serveral reports. When we click on each link , one should call a pdf saved in a particular location.
Thanks.

In Word, if you have set the borders on then you should see them in the output. In Word it has a setting to let you see 'gridlines' even if they are not set ie you have turned the borders off. Highlight the table and set all the borders on and re-try. If that fails, try building the table from scratch and copy the cell contents across to the new table
