Dreamweaver CS3 - PHP Include error

Just upgraded to DW CS3 and found that any page containing a
PHP include no longer shows up correctly in design view. Only the
contents of the included file are shown, not the entire page.
We currently have to comment out ALL PHP included files to
edit the page, and then uncomment them again before posting to the
server.
Is there any work around or setting that can change the way
the PHP include files are handled??

Hi David,
Thank you for following up. I'm really confused why PHP
includes which have worked in all previous versions of DW, parses
correctly on the server, and renders correctly in all browsers
suddenly won't show up in my design view in Dreamweaver after the
CS3 upgrade.
One of our PHP includes: <? include 'header.php'; ?>
The pages render correctly in the browser, but when I open
them in DW CS3, only the contents of the header are visible -- no
other page elements. We have to comment out the includes to see the
page contents.
In DW8, the contents of the include were hidden and the page
contents visible.
In CS3, the contents of the include are visible and the page
contents hidden.
The PHP include syntax hasn't changed -- the way Dreamweaver
shows the code has. Is there a preference or setting that can
change the view to hide includes?

Dreamweaver CS3 and Coldfusion Errors

is anyone experiencing errors when using the coldfusion
inbuilt tools within dreamweaver cs3? I am getting errors when
using the insert record server beahaviour. Also i have noticed that
some sql code is not genrated correctly within cs3. This was not as
a problem in versions MX and 8.

Have you posted this question in the Cold Fusion Forums?

I don't use CF myself and the few CF coders I know have long since moved to Eclipse/ColdFusion Builder.

Dreamweaver CS3 Trial install error

My DreamWeaver CS3 Trial install crashes right after the
component load. screen. and I do have the new Adobe Reader. I also
have Photoshop. so what might be the problem. I will try to make a
video of it and upload it on youtube.
But anyways my system specs are
RAM = 512MB ;
Processor = AMD Athlon 2600 , MMX , 3DNOW , ~2.1GHz ;
Op system = Win XP Pro(using IIS)
so what should be wrong with this?

Sounds as though you're trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on
Mac OS X
10.3 or earlier. CS3 requires OS X 10.4 as a minimum. It
won't install
on earlier versions.

Mac Dreamweaver CS3 (and only DW) will not install - Web Premium Suite

[Previously posted here - suggested to post here instead]
cannot install Dreamweaver CS3. The error is shown here:
http://flickr.com/photos/ianlloyd/1140427313/
Note: I previously took part in the DW9 (aka CS3?) beta
program but consistently had problems trying to install, so I
probably have some cruft left over.
Note also: I have used Spotlight to find anything with
Dreamweaver in the title that does not relate to DreamWeaver 8
(which is the version that I currently have running on my Mac with
no problems).
Please advise:
# What file on my system is leading CS3 installer to believe
I have CS3 installed so that I can zap it
# Any other clean-up operation I can try to resolve this.
Many thanks

Hi, Ian-
Definitely try using the CS3 Cleanup Script to remove
conflicting libraries/files/extensions/etc before another clean
install from the DVD. You can download the right version for your
platform (Mac?) here:
CS3
Cleanup Scripts
Don't forget to restart after running the scripts- often
components can remain referenced in memory after removal. Hope this
helps out!

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

Error message when trying to open PHP include?

Hi there,
I have seen a number of posts here about issues with
Contribute editing PHP pages and am starting to get concerned... I
have another one to add to the list.
I have created a site that uses PHP includes for the header
and the drop down menus, so that the client can go in and edit one
or two files to change things sitewide. Sounds good, right? Well,
in Contribute I can't open either of the PHP files that are being
included to edit them. I keep getting errors and whether I click on
"YES" or "NO" (to the question of whether I want to continue
running scripts on the page) it doesn't let me out...the error
warning box keeps popping up and I am in an endless loop. The only
way out is CTRL-ALT-DELETE.
One guess I had is that I am maybe missing something
important in the included PHP file that is necessary for it to be
recognized as a proper PHP file? In other words, the included PHP
files contain no header tags or anything like that, it is literally
just some divs that are supposed to be inserted at a particular
point on every page. Am I missing something, or am I encountering a
limitation of Contribute?
Many thanks!!
Tim

I think it's the content of the include that is causing your
troubles. Somehow you created a menu using Fireworks(?) or
Dreamweaver(?) and Contribute indicates javascripterrors, not php
errors...
Maybe its better, in this case, constructing a menu that
contains only an unordered list (check out project7 menus, or stu
nichols css site for more examples). Updating the menu will be
simpeler and also with less chance of errors by users. You can open
such a file without any troubles in Contribute.

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.

PHP_MySQL error msg in Dreamweaver CS3

anything, all I've done is design my pages. I need my dreamweaver
very quickly, I have a website I'm supposed to be working on and I
can't if I can't save the files!!
And by the way, I'm not even using PHP or SQL or anything.
It's just a straight HTML page....

MySQL Error# : 2002 in Dreamweaver CS3

I created a database in PHPMyAdmin for my site and when I try
to connect to the DB from Dreamweaver I receive the error message #
2002
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'(s)"
Does anyone have any idea how to fix that problem? I was able
to get it works before but since I reformat my harddrive I keep
getting this error message.
Can anyone help me please? I'm running Win XP Pro SP2

localhost and 127.0.0.1 are the same thing. All you need is
"localhost"
or "127.0.0.1" (without the quotes). The "via UNIX socket"
and "via
TCP/IP" are simply descriptions of the type of connection.
They are NOT
part of the server address.

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 for PHP - Is there a better option?

Most of my friends seem to use regular text editors for their php programming. I do not need to connect to a database with my coding. I just would like something that understands php functions and such, so that appropriate areas are highlighted.
Or so that php errors such as missing semicolons and such are easy to spot.
What would you recommend I switch to? Or is there not something that Adobe makes that is specifically for PHP?

While Dreamweaver CS4 didn´t add significant improvements for PHP developers in particular, the new version CS5 is indeed a huge step forward. Please have a look at the excellent review by David Powers: Dreamweaver CS5 is good news for PHP devs
My recommendation ? Well, if you consider Dreamweaver CS3 in general (not just talking about the PHP specific features) as overall helpful tool in many areas (e.g. CSS rendering, visual layout drafts etc), then CS5 will be an improvement in these areas as well and could be worth trying/buying. On the other hand: if you´re only interested in "whatever" development tool to give you advanced PHP support, the Eclipse - based Aptana plugin or the Netbeans PHP IDE are pretty fine tools as well.
Cheers,
Günter

rien ne marche ...

changé de navigateur, même problème ...

A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

PHP include in DW CS3

If I put a tag like this <?php include ('menu.php'); ?>
in my file, I can only preview it after putting the file on a
server. How can I preview it in my local computer without uploading
the files to a server?
Thanks

The use of virtual or a root reference in the include
function forces Apache
to look at its root folder for the files. It will not find
them there, and
therefore the include will fail. The only way to make this
work would be to
set up virtual hosts, in which case the root of the site is
always the
virtual root you have specified in the httpd.conf file.
Your use of the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] autoglobal will
work on the
server, but not within DW (I think).
