How can I associate file types with Dreamweaver so they open automatically?

I've just installed Dreamweaver CS4 under Windows XP
Professional but I've an issue with which files types are
associated with Dreamweaver.
When I first ran DW CS4 the application invited me to select
which type of files to associate with Dreamweaver: .css, .js,
.xslt, php, etc. I deselected a few as I was using another editor
for those at the time. However, I would now like to associate PHP
files with Dreamweaver CS4, so that when I double-click a PHP file
in Windows Explorer it opens in Dreamweaver CS4.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to run the initial dialog box again that
invited me to select which files to associate with Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance
Gareth

Browse to any PHP file with Windows Explorer, right click
then select Open
With..., Choose Program and select DW CS4 (and tick the
"Always..." box to
make this the default file association)

How to build database driven mobile apps with dreamweaver and phonegap?

Hi all,
I'm searching the easiest way to implement a simple database in my app.
I can build application with php/mysql in seconds with dreamweaver.
But how can I do something similar with dreamweaver cs5.5 and phonegap for mobile apps?
I would like to create a little app that pulls data from a mysql database on my webserver.
But it seems that dreamweaver/phonegap/jquery mobile work only with HTML files.
I searched the whole web for a day now but I haven't found anything easy to recreate.
Is there a tutorial that explains the basic of database for mobile in dreamweaver?
It seems a bit limitating to use dreamweaver to build only static/useless apps....
What about forms and data validation?
TIA for any help.
tony

@idesdema: Have a look at this tutorial: http://www.codeforest.net/jquery-mobile-advanced-tutorial-rss-reader-app
It includes a demo as well as a download link to the source files.
Also, if you want to take it a step further, you can create & manage a 'local database' without having to access anything remotely - basically handling everything at the client's end.
There's a tutorial for that here: http://the-jquerymobile-tutorial.org/jquery-mobile-tutorial-CH22.php
Good luck.

Why will Bridge CC not recognize a PHP file and ONLY open with notepad instead of Dreamweaver?

why will Bridge CC not recognize a PHP file and ONLY open with notepad instead of Dreamweaver?

Did you set the file association in Bridge to open with Dreamweaver?

New to Dreamweaver. Can I open/ view .php files with this application?

Recently downloaded a file that had the extension; .php. Tried opening it on my desktop and couldn't. Was told the Dreamweaver software/ application from adobe could help. Please, educate me on what to do in order to view these files.

PHP files are all code. You need a local testing server to view PHP files locally in your browser. Dreamweaver can help you view the code, but you still need a local testing server to preview it.
Get one of these testing servers for you OS and install it.

How do I compensate for only one ADDT ' tNG_config.inc.php file with many Registration pages to build?

My dynamic site has a lot of different languages funneled into one website, using various cookies, url params, php includes, etc. all to obtain similar info in different languages. Thank you David Powers.
It is working really well and now I’ve come to the Registration section. Okay, so registration isn’t all that hard; I could do most of it with the standard Dreamweaver set of tools. Alas, I really like much of what ADDT has to offer with welcome email messages and activation and such.
Here’s the setup: Obviously, with many different language people, I have many different databases for them. I did that becuase we’re expecting a big audience and I really don’t want to have all those different language names in the same table. Furthermore, these tables, whereby the students will login, will also contain a lot of information about their work so again, don’t want to have one massive table. I’ve divvied them up into tables by language and I’m using those tables to keep track of them and their work.
I want to use ADDT’s User Registration Wizard and I have looked at all the neat stuff in the Control Panel/Login Settings.
Here’s my situation: I notice that when I’m done with the configuring of one of the registration pages, I’m asked if I want to upload the tNG_config.inc.php page and that it has changed since the last upload. I saved a copy of the _config.inc.php and did a new registration form with the same info and when done, I compared the two _config.inc.php files. As one would guess, there is a small difference in the Connection string to the databases $tNG_login_config["connexction"] = "connString_Ital_db".
My problem is that I have 13 of these registration pages to do but ADDT only has the one tNG_config.inc.php. That’ll work great for the one with which it is associated, but the others will obviously break. I’ve looked through the code in the Registration pages, to find the ADDT link to the tNG_config.inc.php file hoping to rename it Italian, Spanish, etc, but the name of the file does not appear in the Registration page. I realize that ADDT Control panel is designed for use on one site, and can then be used on others, with the changes etc. But my site seems a little unique since so many sites are actually in one.
Has anyone whipped this problem before? I just don’t understand why there is no link in the head code of the Registration page to let me change it and to create more config files with different names. Thanks for you help!
[Moved by moderator to appropriate forum]

Hi Brian,
I just tried to check all of ADDT´s "includes" files for any internal references (read: "require" or "require_once" statements) to the file "tNG_config.inc.php". So far I can only see this file referenced in the file "tNG.inc.php" (within the "$KT_tNG_uploadFileList1" array).
So what could this mean ? Maybe you´ll have to make copies of the the original "tNG.inc.php" as well and save them as, say, "tNG.inc_ital.php" file plus make sure that these copies internally point to a different "tNG_config_ital.inc.php" file -- because it´s always the first mentioned file which gets referenced from e.g. an ADDT login page (see the "Load the tNG classes" - part)
I want to use ADDT’s User Registration Wizard and I have looked at all the neat stuff in the Control Panel/Login Settings
The Control Panel will always update the main "tNG_config.inc.php" file, so any further modifications will have to become manually applied to the custom files you´re creating.
Cheers,
Günter

Dreamweaver 8 not properly displaying php file in display area...

Hi...
I have made I new site... www.tresfjording.com
It's all in Norwegian, but it seems to work fine in MSIE7
But in my Dreamweaver's design window it's a mess.
In fact it shows just parts of the page and even that is
garbled...
Have installed WampServer to view the PHP pages hoping for a
miracle, but
that didn't work at all.
I am left with my own messy code to edit pages, and frankly
that's a kind of
a eternal try and error process for me...
I need my WYSIWYG back, without getting rid of the two lines
of PHP in each
page. Once including the left column data, and the other the
right column
data.
Is there a solution in upgrading to CS3?
Or is there another closer and cheaper solution?

Hello,
Take a look at the source code using the browser.
There are 3 doc types and numerous <body>,
</body>, meta tags and additional
links to stylesheets within the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 //EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<link href="css/granbergMain.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link href="css/granbergTopp.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link href="css/granbergSide.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
As Alan asked, is the page using includes? It appears to be
using php
includes.
The home page is:
http://www.tresfjording.com/index.php
If you just opened the same index.php file in notepad that
you open in DW,
you wouldn't see the additional tags and doctypes.
But if you view the page in IE, and "view source", you'll see
them. The
includes are added server side and output to the browser.
Can you paste the code from one of the include pages?
Take care,
Tim

Can't view Wordpress PHP files in Dreamweaver CC.

Mac. MAMP.
I have downloaded my full site hosted on xxxx into MAMP htdocs.
Download directly from root public_html on host.
I keep getting "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server"
Even if I go "live view" and set - Web URL to: www.indochinaexplorers.com (my site) - instead of http://localhost, it comes up with a lot of PHP boxes.
Been through all tutorials for more than a week.
Have been through all possible settings and configurations under "Manage Site"
Did a Test - New PHP page. Same thing, it does not show, design or live view.
So stuck,
Thanks Peter

I have the same issue and none of the alleged Guru's that answered have provided anything useful. Solid Web Design is about workflow, which could lead to innovation if people would stop reverse innovation language...Dreamweaver could be a viable wordpress solution if it worked as it's supposed to. CC is a bust as the focus has shifted to mobile first.
There are no "real pages" for you to edit in DW; just code fragments.
Wordpress is dynamically driven but this is untrue. Every PHP file in a theme has structure and is a "real page". Fragments have to be in a "file" to be called, they are not called out of thin air. If I want to style page.php, it cannot be done without first adding selectors. #mainContent for example. The only thing php does is add dynamic functionality. Page.php can be altered and saved as Page_fullwidth.php, Page_Music.php ,Page_webDesign.php and they can all have a different layout in the same theme. Else there would be no templates to choose from in the static page section of the WP Admin area.
Themes drive the appearance and functionality of your WP site. If you need a new look, find a different Theme and install it from your WP Dashboard.
How does this help?
Unless you are very familiar with PHP code and more specifically the PHP code WP uses, you will not have good results working in DW. You really must use the WP Dashboard to manage your content, Themes, and plugins.
This has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is Dreamweaver simply does not allow propper editing of wordpress sites in a dynamic environment. No one ever said they didn't know anything about php, creating wordpress themes, plugins, and so on...
Dear next genius..Since the question has already been asked, I won't ask it again, but the original inquiry is my issue as well. If you have figured out how to make this work, please respond, if not, please don't.

URGENT: Dreamweaver CS3 crashes while uploading any PHP File

Hello,
My Dreamweaver CS3 crashes everytime I try to upload any PHP
file to the Web Server. It does upload the file but crashes and you
received a "Not Responding" error in the Windows title bar. I did
search alot on this issue until I found the ".
Dreamweaver
CS3 crashes after DST ends" problem. I deleted the cache file
as required but of NO HELP.
. It is very annoying to restart Dreamweaver
everytime you want to upload any PHP file to the Web Server after
editing it. It doesn't happen with any other types of files. Please
help me guys here or I will lose my mind.

Bad news for you too.
First, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
Secondly, Adobe does not support CS3 any longer because it hasn't been sold for years.
Therefore, you're left to the good will of fellow users who volunteer their time here free of charge, if one of them has a solution to your issue. No one is under any obligation to reply, so ask nicely.
One thing I can tell you is that you have not applied any of the versions available for Photoshop. Unfortunately, the Adobe auto updater was an unmitigated piece of cr@p in any version prior to CS6. Do not rely on it to assume you are up to date just because it doesn't show any updates available to you under Help > Updates.
You need to look for the downloads and apply them manually yourself.
I can't offer any more assistance because I don't do Windows. Sorry.

Using PHP files in Dreamweaver?

When I create a new PHP file in Dreamweaver the code is the same as an HTML file, shouldn't be different? with php commands or something?
Thanks

When I create a new PHP file in Dreamweaver the code is the same as an HTML file, shouldn't be different? with php commands or something?
Not unless you add them. PHP is a server-side programming language. PHP web pages are no different than HTML pages except that they can parse data on the server. With the right include statements or commands, PHP or ASP pages can publish information from server-side databases to form a dynamically driven web site.

PHP files in Dreamweaver

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has been unable to open php files.
When I try to open them Dreamweaver freezes. I have reinstalled CS3
and deleted all of the local files and downloaded them all over
again from the remote site but nothing seems to fix the
problem.

Excellent! I was wondering how to solve that since it was
happening to
me as well, i was even working on notepad++ in those files
with PHP and
just saw this thread.
Thank you so much for your answer Alan that definitively
solve the
problem so back to DWCS3 again :)

Can't edit php files in dreamweaver, access to site root denied

Can anyone help me please?
I've recently purchased a Macbook Pro after my PCs failed on me and also had to get a Creative Suite Web Premium. I have always used Dreamweaver to edit my php files. In Windows XP, I had to run the programme to run as an Administrator to edit php files. Now I have not a clue how to do it on Mac! Each time I tried to save a php file, a dialog box appear stating: Access to Macintosh
HD:Library:Webserver:Documents:Untitled-1.php was denied
Regards
Sinead

You shouldn't have to do that on the Mac or Windows. Only thing I could find that would suggest loading files from there is a tutorial by David. And although I would normally agree with him, keeping the files in a system library folder for a testing environment is really unnecessary. I'd recommend moving them into your /Users/{username}/Sites folder. There is already a modification to the apache server to recognize that as http://localhost/~{username}. Or install something like MAMP that is in the Applications folder.

Dreamweaver templates not updating *.php file

Hello everyone,
I have been given an exisiting website to update that uses
Dreamweaver templates.
I have made the changes successfully within the content.dwt
file, saved it, and then uploaded both the new content.dwt file and
the related *.htm pages that were linked to it.
After going to the website to double check the new pages I
found a *.php file that uses the same template, content.dwt, but it
never asked to update that particular file.
So, I opened the *.php file in Dreamweaver and tried to apply
changes from the content.dwt file to it using: Templates - Update
current page, but no such luck. Since there is no code at the start
of this file like the other *.htm files how do I "connect" it with
the newly updated template. I tried making a small change on the
content.dwt file so see what files would come up in the "do you
wish to update..." list but for some reason the *.php file is not
there.
Perhaps the answer is fairly obvious to someone who has
worked with Templates a lot but since I have just started working
with templates I still have a large knowledge gap in this area.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mr Zedd

Can you post a link to the PHP page, please? This will allow
me to see the
HTML markup on it....

Regards Paul

If you are using MAC os then go to : "/Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe" and rename the Dreamweaver folder to old_Dreamweaver_(version)
and if you are windows then go to : "C:\Users\(Your User Name)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe" and rename the Dreamweaver folder to Old_Dreamweaver_(version)
you can also refer the link - http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
then try to launch the product with the php file and check.

Problem with Dreamweaver & csv file!!!!

Working on website...
www.banners4churches.com
Website has special pricing matrix...
http://www.banners4churches.com/current/banners/order_custombanners.php
Excel .xml file is run through Linux Fedora 10 wKDE and cli.sh to create .csv file for Dreamweaver. The .xml file was updated and the new .csv file was inserted back into the root folder for DW. Was working properly before changes, but now it shows error message "call."
Been working on this problem for days!!!! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What is the problem? The pricing matrix at the URL you provided is working. If it's something not working on your local system, nobody can help unless they see the code you're working with. In any case, it sounds as though there's something wrong with the CSV file, not with Dreamweaver.
