Design view not available with php pages

I am using Dreamweaver CS 3, If I have a page with an file extension of .php I cannot view the page in design view. If I want to use design view I have to give it an extension of .htm, do the work then rename the file with a .php extension. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Go to Edit > Preferences (or Dreamweaver > Preferences on a Mac), and select the File Types/Editors category from the list on the left. Make sure that .php is not among the list of files to open in code view.

DW CS4 - Design/Live view not available with PHP

I am working with PHP documents but both Live View and Design View are grey and unavailable with PHP documants open. I am using MAMP and have set up local info and testing server in the site set up dialog several times myself and with the help of some web search with no difference. Any thoughts on what may be some things to check would be greatly appreciated.

Have you changed your preferences to open PHP pages in Code view?
In the File Types/Editors category of Preferences, if you add .php to the list of file name extensions in "Open in code view", it disables Design view and Live View for that type of file.
I can not believe I searched for over 30 minutes to find out that adding .php to this field; disables one of the ONLY reasons I purchased CS5.
Just for giggles, why would it be designed like this? "Open in code View" = a prefrence to what screen type you see, not, "I want to disable CS5 to pre CS2 version"...
Well, just my two cents. Now that I know, I will never do that again... So, Next question. Is there a way to make Dreamweaver by default open in code view, without setting the tempting box to do it for you?
Thanks ahead of time. By the way, I am greatful that someone has the answers! and I am glad that person is you sir = Enter the Adobe Expert.

Design View not rendering content of pages

I am the webmaster and lead developer for a state university. We have developed a responsive Dreamweaver template for our mostly non-coding users (admin assistants usually are assigned web tasks for some reason). You can see our site here http://www.wwu.edu/webtech . When we bring up pages in Design View, they cannot be edited; none of the content is visible. Live view is pretty good, but it's difficult for non-coders to edit in this window. For instance, in Design view they can just select Enter after a block of text to start a new <p>; In Live View you can modify an existing paragraph as if you were in Design View, but you cannot add elements without using the Insert tool. My non code users have no idea what the Insert menu is talking about. So my questions are:
1. First - has anyone else hit situations where Design View did not work? Here is what it looks like for the site mentioned above:
2. Any idea why design view cannot handle this page? It's a standard responsive site with media queries... I've tried stripping out complexity but cannot get it to work. It is valid HTML and passes tests.
3. Am I using the wrong product? Can Muse handle Dreamweaver templates?

Nancy O, osgood_, Fritz, thank you for your thoughts.
Dreamweaver has been a wonderful tool for non-coders for many years. We developed templates for the groups, then all they had to do was put the content into the correct areas through the power of the Dreamweaver template. That is no longer possible it seems with the more complex, responsive templates. And yes, Osgood_ , it does appear that some pages will be rendered fine in Dreamweaver. Our older templates such as represented by this site: http://www.wwu.edu/bservices IS viewable and editable in Dreamweaver Design view. Those users are quite happy. However our newest responsive Dreamweaver templated sites such as http://www.wwu.edu/webtech and http://www.wuw.edu/registrar2 are not.
What I'd really love is for an adobe engineer to sit down and look at our templates and let me know if there is anything I could do to make these templates usable in Design View.
Our other alternative is to move away from static HTML and Dreamweaver and go entirely to WordPress and Drupal. I will miss Dreamweaver when this happens! I had hoped there was a place for those who did not want the complication of a Wordpress site...

Design panel not active with php file?

I have DW CS5 on two computers. One one the design panel is active with a PHP file. On the other, it is not active.
I must have a setting wrong on the one computer. What do I need to do to make the design panel active? The code panel is fine on both.
It is very hard to work on a PHP file when I can't see the design panel.
Regards,
Bill Schaepe

The problem is that I have a number of PHP files that I need to modify the words in a form and it is hard to see what I am doing.
You can't do this in Code view?
On both computers, I just generate a new PHP file. On the one computer the design panel is active and I can click design tab on it to see the design. On the other one, I can't click on the design panel tab to see the design.
Both the same version revision level of DW? Both on the same platform? Do you have an option to click on "Design" under View on the main menu?

Design View not working with skins

Hey,
Excuses, I posted this question earlier in the "general
discussion" topic.
I'm using Adobe Flex 2. I have a pretty big project. If I
open it, design view works. If I close Flex and open the same
project again, design view wont work. There aren't any
error-messages or warnings given. I have been able to track te
problem down to graphical skins in a CSS declaration. I have to
erase them, to make Design View work. Then, I paste the code back
again. This is very inconvienent. Is this a normal problem,
inherent to how Flex works. Is there an other, easier way around?
Thanks in advance!
Knut Nidelven
Here is the code that does the damage...:
.topBar {
fontFamily: Arial;
font-style: none;
fontWeight: normal;
font-size: 12px;
upSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_up.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
overSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_over.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
downSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
selectedOverSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
selectedDownSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
selectedUpSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',

In Design View, not seeing PHP includes

I'm on a new Vista laptop using DW CS3, and pages whose
contents displayed
in Design View before aren't displaying in Design View.
They're PHP pages
with some includes, such as this one:
http://www.miraverse.com/manifold20/studio/music-room.php
In Design View, I only see the non-include parts of the page.
That preference under Invisible Elements, to view SSIs in
Design View, IS
checked.
Any help will be MUCH appreciated!

I conditionally retract that statement, since CS4 seems to
tolerate this
pretty well.
Let's restate it this way -
If you have such tags in your include files, then you MUST
NOT HAVE THEM IN
THE PARENT PAGE. In other words, the final assembled page
must have only a
single set of <html>, <head>, or <body>
tags.

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - Aways saying Autofill not available for this page even on pages I have used it before FF4 upgrade

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - It aways gives the message "Autofill not available for this page". This is happening on pages I have used Autofill on before upgrading to FF4 from Firefox 3.5.x

i did not see a solution posted - I tired what I read. Going back to an old version may solve the problem but it is a stupid solution so I have yet to do that.
I am on version 4 and autofil this does not work :
Popular answer Go to this answer
Uninstall version 5, then Google "google toolbar version 4", follow the link to FileHippo.com, and download and install the last version 4. When you reinstall it, make sure you turn off the option to perform automatic updates.

Windows 8 - Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available

I have two new Dell touchscreen laptops with Windows 8 (not 8.1).
I am unable to get the tile/app integrated browser to open PDF files. Upon downloading a PDF it reports "Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available".
I've gone to the app store from Microsoft, and downloaded the tile/app reader, and it reports being installed....but no joy. I've gone to the Adobe site, and looked for and installed any/all Windows 8 viewers I can find, but it still doesn't work.
I CAN view PDF files by clicking on the Windows key, clicking on the desktop, opening IE, then using the Adobe Reader 11 that was installed. This seems so pointless, because the only way to view a PDF is to take about 4 extra clicks than I do in Ubuntu, Windows 7, or a Mac.
What's up with this?

Internet Explorer has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
(a) The desktop version of IE supports plugins and accelerators. This is the version that you launch from the Windows 8/RT desktop.
(b) The Windows Store app version (with "Modern" or "Metro" UI) of IE is touch-optimized, full screen, and plugin free. This is the version that you launch by tapping/clicking the tile in the Start screen.
See the Microsoft documentation titled Get ready for plug-in free browsing.
"Starting with Windows 8, IE is one web platform that provides two browsing experiences: the new IE in the new Windows UI optimized for touch devices, and the traditional browsing experience of Internet Explorer for the desktop. As a Windows app, Internet Explorer runs without plug-ins so that you have a clean, fast, and secure web browsing experience, while also providing a native Adobe Flash player. "
Similarly, Adobe Reader also has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
(a) The desktop version is called Adobe Reader XI. It is a mature product that has been available in the market for the past 20 years and offers a rich set of features. It supports in-browser viewing of PDFs by installing the browser plugin to the desktop version of IE. However, the downsides of the desktop version are the incompatibility with the Windows RT operating system and security vulnerabilities. In general, the desktop version is less secure than the Windows Store app version.
(b) The Windows Store app version is called Adobe Reader Touch. It is a relatively new product that was introduced a year ago. It does not support in-browser viewing of PDFs because of the security restrictions that are imposed on all Windows Store apps. It is compatible with both Windows 8 and RT operating systems.
Because the Windows Store app version of IE is designed to be plugin-free, no other desktop/Windows Store apps (hence, not even Adobe Reader XI) can install additional plugins (other than the Flash support that is built-in by default).
If you want the in-browser PDF viewing support, you need to use the desktop version of IE and the desktop version of a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader XI.
This is the application architecture decision that Microsoft has made deliberately. It's not a bug or oversight.
Microsoft has the Windows Store app version of PDF viewer called "Reader". It may be possible for Microsoft to add the in-browser PDF viewing support using Reader (just like Google Chrome does) in a future release of the Windows Store app version of IE. But it did not happen in the newer version of the operating systems: Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.
If you have any feature requests/suggestions/questions regarding the Windows Store app version of IE, please visit the Microsoft forum instead.

Design view not working after importing project from Flex Builder

After importing a project from Flex Builder to Flash Builder I am no longer able to see anything in the design view. I am using the flex 4.5 sdk.
Any idea how I can get this design view working? I heard it could have something to do with the metadata directory but am slightly lost here?...
Adam

Could you please provide more information as to what exactly are you importing. Also does Design View not lauch at all or does it give errors. Would it be possible for you to share the logs.
Meanwhile you can try cleaning the workspace and importing again to see if that solves the issue.

Is it possible to work with PHP pages in Oracle ERP R12 and how to set up ?

Hi,
Is it possible to work with PHP pages in Oracle ERP R12 and how to set up ?
Regards
Nandhakumar P

Hi Nandhakumar,
To be able to access any Oracle database using PHP you require the following:
A server with Apache 2+ (Unix, windows etc)
PHP enabled using OCI8
tnsnames.ora
Oracle instant client and associated libraries
This gives you direct access into oracle database. As for E-Business, you will compromise the security and safty of of R12 by going in through php. Oracle is not likely to support it either.
I have got a apache/php/Oracle XE working on a test environment and Ithe performance is not a big issue. If you must I would hughly recommend Oracle Linux for quality and security.

none option is not available in the page. Kindly help me to review my apple id without giving credit card details. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Open iTunes and navigate to the app store. Select a free app to download. A simple way to do this is to scroll down to the top free apps box on the right hand side, hover your mouse over the first item and click on the free button that appears when you hover over it.
A pop up will open asking you to sign in with your Apple ID click "create new account", click continue to create your account. Check the box to accept the store terms and conditions and click continue.
Enter your email address, password, security question, and date of birth, click continue. Now, you will be asked to provide a payment method. Note now that the last option says "none".

Using Incontext editing with PHP pages

Hi,
Has anyone established whether you can use incontext editing
with php pages. My site works perfectly except for the pages i have
created in php. The reason i have used php is that they are secure
that only certain users can access.
The error message that comes up is: "No input file specified.
" But the page is up.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Chris

Hello Chris,
Yes, it is possible to edit PHP pages with InContext Editing,
however InContext Editing should not be used to edit dynamic
content in PHP pages. If you edit dynamic content that is loaded
into an InContext Editing editable region, it will be overwritten
as static content.
In regards to the problem you're experiencing, it appears to
be an issue with the HEAD http request. InContext Editing is using
HEAD requests to check the existence of the draft and published
versions of the current page (in your case, InContext Editing is
making a request for products_bedroom_draft.php). If those calls do
not work as expected (the HEAD should return status code 200/304 if
the checked page exists, 404 otherwise) then you will experience
this behavior.
A HEAD http request for products_bedroom_draft.php is
returning a 502 Bad Gateway status code which is not what InContext
Editing expects.
Please contact your web hosting provider for assistance with
this server issue. This will likely require changes in web server
configuration.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Best regards,
Corey
