How to view PHP in Dreamweaver

Hi, this is probably a silly questions but how do I work with
PHP files in Dreamweaver – since I can't see what's on the
page until I preview in a browser. Is there a way to "turn on"
layout visibility or something. I'm trying to figure out how to
edit WordPress files using Dreamweaver.
Thanks,
Hanna

Is there any HTML on the page? Sometimes you will be looking
for "Design
view" on a page that has no Design view to show you.

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 to view local PHP files with my browser?

I want to learn PHP and be able to view files I create (stored in my documents folder) by my browser. I read I'd have to get into Apache via Terminal and make some changes to be able to view PHP. I took a look inside and ran across warning comments, which scared me off!
Any suggestions?

Pretty simple, ther arew no "warnings" to consider. Depending on your version of Apache you may need to enable the PHP module in the configuration file at
/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Look for the part where it says
#LoadModule php 4_module
and also
#AddModule mod_ php 4.c
and make sure those lines are uncommented by deleting the "#" character, then restart Apache to activate the new settings . When you acces a PHP page, you must do it through Apache by clicking this URL: http://127.0.0.1/ Remember that HTML files can be dropped in a browser, but to run a PHP script file you must use an Apache URL.

Editing PHP in Dreamweaver

Hi although I not new to Dreamweaver I am new to PHP files. How do you edit PHP files within Dreamweaver. For example, in an existing PHP file where I want to insert a picture/graphic it puts it elsewhere and then I have to move it?
Thanks!

You can try to click on the "live data view" icon on the top
bar of page window.
But I don't think you can *change* live data view in design
view, i.e. drag the edge of a PHP
generated div to make it wider. You'll need to edit PHP in
the code.

Not sure what changes you made so this is a wild guessing game.
This may be a browser cache issue - have you refreshed your browser or viewed the page in a different browser?

No php on Dreamweaver with wampserver.

I have wamp server working fine and via IE it will display my
Joomla1.011 php website. However, when it try to view the same
pages via Dreamweaver, in split or design view it shows little gold
php icons rather than displaying the php page. When there is a
graphic it will display that.
Preview in browser also works fine.
It shows the site folders in the files window at the right.
For wamp I took all the standard defaults.
Site Definitions are >Local Info: Site name Joomla, Local
root folder c:\wamp\www\ ; Deafault Images folder
c:\wamp\www.joomla\iamges\ ; HTTP address
http://localhost/joomla/
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks
Larry

PHP is a server-side language that needs to be parsed by the
server.
It's perfectly normal for Dreamweaver to show just the gold
icon in
Design view. If you want to see an approximation of how the
page will
look when the PHP is parsed, click the Live Data view icon on
the
Document toolbar.

After upgrading to FF 3.6.12 I can no longer view PHP pages from my hard drive.

After upgrading to version 3.6.12 I can no longer open PHP web pages from my hard drive. When I create or edit web pages I view them from my hard drive first before uploading, as many webmasters do to look for errors before taking them live.
I can view PHP pages online, but from my hard drive it just spawns endless empty tabs. Instead of just opening the page it asked me what to open it with, thinking the PHP web page is a script.
It was working fine before the upgrade. I had a page open that I wanted to edit, which it reopened when my browser restarted.
Then I edited the page. All I did was add a link to it. Then I hit the refresh button to see the change and instead of reloading the page, FF asked me what to do with the PHP script, prompting me to save it or choose what program to open it with.
I selected to view it with FF and it just spawned endless tabs. They wouldn't stop. Had to shut down FF and it probably had 40 tabs opened with nothing on them. I tried other PHP pages from my hard drive that opened fine before, but it did the same thing with them.
I tried finding help online and I see others have had the same problem, but no solution was offered that worked. I tried rebooting, same story, it wants to know what to do with the PHP script.
I'm being forced to use another browser, so I'm going to go download Chrome now. If this probably isn't fixed soon I'll simply give up on FF. It's not worth the aggravation. I can't tell you how much TIME I've wasted today -- HOURS.
Very disappointed.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't have to process the php, it just has to show the HTML content. It did that just fine before the last upgrade but won't now.
I've seen that page you referenced: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions.
It doesn't help. The things it says to look for aren't there for me, specifically:
browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes
plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types
I followed the rest of the instructions but it didn't help.
I did get it to quit opening tabs, instead it prompts me what it should do with the file every time now. What it should do, and used to do, is open the php page and display the HTML content.
Any other ideas?

How to embed mixcloud in dreamweaver

Hi,
I've tried to embed mixcloud in dreamweaver without result. Soundcloud does the job well but with mixcloud there is a problem.
The problem is related with the Live Viewer and having the right plug-ins.
Who knows the answer?
Regards, Remmie

It works! I don't know exactly what i did but it works.
www.kasperski-music.com/test.htm
And it still doesn't work in preview, so i assumed it also wouldn't work on
the air.
Thanks for your help!

[SOLVED] How to view the *exact* name of the currently running kernel?

Perhaps this question will seem dumb, but here goes : I have two kernels installed :
[ruben@arch ~]$ yaourt -Q linux
core/linux 3.2.9-1 (base)
[ruben@arch ~]$ yaourt -Q linux-ck-kx
repo-ck/linux-ck-kx 3.2.11-1 (ck-kx)
Grub’s menu.lst is configured to boot linux-ck-kx :
# general configuration:
timeout 5
default 2
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-label/archroot ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux Fallback
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-label/archroot ro
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
# (2) Arch Linux CK-KX
title Arch Linux CK-KX
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux-ck root=/dev/disk/by-label/archroot ro
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-ck.img
# (3) Arch Linux CK-KX Fallback
title Arch Linux CK-KX Fallback
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux-ck root=/dev/disk/by-label/archroot ro
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-ck-fallback.img
And yet, I see no mention of *-ck-kx when issuing this comand :
[ruben@arch ~]$ uname -a
Linux arch 3.2.9-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 1 09:31:13 CET 2012 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
It does not matter whether I change the default kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst : I can set it to “ 0 ” or “ 2 ” and reboot, and the output of “ uname -a ” will always be exactly the same as above ; no mention of *ck-kx even though I know it is running.
I searched the web on how to view the name of the running kernel, all results I found said to use uname, so is there another command I am missing here ? Or is it normal that both my kernels yield the same uname output ?
Just curious, because I was playing around with kexec, and when doing “ fake ” reboots, I was alternating between the normal ARCH-kernel and the ck-kx*kernel, and I wanted to be sure that it actually worked, so I checked everytime with uname, and since I saw no difference in the outputs, I assumed kexec wasn’t working like it should, so I did a “ real ” reboot, but same uname outputs… So I must be missing something…
Here are the kexec commands I used, just to be sure I am doing this properly :
[ruben@arch ~]$ sudo kexec -l --append="`cat /proc/cmdline`" --initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux-ck.img /boot/vmlinuz-linux-ck
[ruben@arch ~]$ sudo init 6
and :
[ruben@arch ~]$ sudo kexec -l --append="`cat /proc/cmdline`" --initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux.img /boot/vmlinuz-linux
[ruben@arch ~]$ sudo init 6
Thoughts ?

One question for you litemotiv : do you have two kernels currently installed on your system, like I do, or did you uninstall the ARCH-kernel ? I ask because I might try this :
$ sudo pacman -Rns linux
and reboot, and see what happens…
But before I do that, might as well try to debug it ;
t1nk3r3r wrote:I would point the finger at GRUB, or something occuring near boot-time.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Boot_Debugging
So I tried the “ Heavy Debug ” option, rebooted, then issued “ dmesg > dmesg.txt ” ; here are the first few lines of that file :
[ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset
[ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu
[ 0.000000] Linux version 3.2.9-1-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.6.2 20120120 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 1 09:31:13 CET 2012
[ 0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/disk/by-label/archroot ro
and the complete dmesg output is here. I am no expert at reading debuggin output, but from the above, it seems like the default ARCH-kernel is being booted, even though my menu.lst hasn’t changed from my previous post (exept for the debugging options) :
# general configuration:

default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
# (0) Arch Linux CK-KX

I want the ck-kernel to boot, what it going on here ? Any more thoughts ?

Mysql, PHP, and Dreamweaver

Hi!
I am struggling with the mysql connection problem with
Dreamweaver 8.02 on the mac. I downloaded the trial version of both
the Windows and the Mac of Dreamweaver. On the Windows side, I can
put all my information in and it connects to the database fine.
However, if I duplicate every single entry for the server
information on the Windows side to the Mac side, I get the never
ending problematic "404 File Not Found" error message and
"unidentified error" message that keeps popping up.
Even furthermore, after checking the web server logs, when I
test the mysql connection on the Windows end, I see a post on the
web server. When I check it from the mac end, I see nothing on the
web server.
I have used Dreamweaver in the past on the mac side, and I
have always struggled with getting this to work. Why am I having so
many problems with it and how can I resolve them?
Thanks in advance...

This is probably a result of the testing server definition on
your Mac.
The normal location for dynamic sites on a Mac is in the
Sites folder of
your home folder. The URL prefix for this translates to this:
http://localhost/~username/
Not
http://localhost/ as on Windows.

I am trying to open a website that is using Microsoft content viewer, and the page does not show. Any ideas on how to view this site using firefox. It works on IE.

I am participating in an online class whose website uses Microsoft Content Viewer to view the class content. The browser opens a new page, but nothing is there. At the top of the tab it says Microsoft Content Viewer, and nothing else. Can anyone tell me how to view my course using Firefox? I would prefer not to use IE, but it works there.

When originally creating the pdf, you would need to choose another pdf conversion setting. In Word if you use the pdf menu, change your settings there: Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. I would use High Quality Print instead. If you use the File > Print method, click the Properties button next to the Adobe PDF printer selection.
For your already created form, you can change the file so your users will not encounter issues. In Acrobat 9, which hopefully is similar in process to 8: Advanced > Preflight > Profile tab > PDF/A compliance > Remove PDF/A information.(You'll have to unsecure your form first).
You can read about PDF/A files in the Help.
