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.

  • I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

    Did you specify <all-permissions/> in your JNLP file? Did you sign your code? What error are you getting?

  • I can't open D7200 NEF file with Photoshop CS6. I checked the updates and there are no updates available. What do I do?

    Hi,
    I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
    Nitin

    For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

  • I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

    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)

  • Can we open Solidworks 2009 files with Acrobat 9 pro extended

    Hello,
    I'm testing Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro extended and I can not open Solidworks 2009 files. But I can open Solidworks 2007 files. I'm on Windows XP 64 bits.
    Can you tell me if this feature is corrected in newer version as 9.1 and later?
    Or any other solution to be able to open the Solidworks 2009 files directly in Acrobat (without the need to open solidworks to convert the files into pdf 3D)?
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, you can convert 2010 SolidWorks file to STEP or PARASOLID files sometimes
    you loose some informations during those conversions then you can read those files into Acrobat then sometimes you
    can loose more informations... Why Adobe doesn't update some CAD formats what's append ???
    In the first post nobody whan't to answer to my question ... why ???
    Is-it an Adobe forum ???

  • Can't open my domain files with iweb??

    I have a new Hard drive version 10.5.8. I have my old website files but iweb (3.0.3) will not open them. I've tried a few suggestions but nothing works. iweb just keeps prompting me to start a new site???

    For opening your domain file or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    Use the iWeb Switch Domain application to open those various domain.sites files to see which one actually contains your web site. Once you've found the right domain file delete the others.
