Unable to show in Design view php files?

Need help! I can't select the creation mode when you work with a PHP document, DesignView is disabled?

My information.

-          Dreamweaver CS5

-          Mac OS x 10.6 snow Lepoard

I looked online and I also went through the FAQ but could not find anything on this topic and my teacher at school said I need to contact Adobe directly as design view should always be available, but everything I see in Design view are the HTML elements in the PHP file.

The design mode button is disabled, I can't click on it all and so for my homework. I copy the PHP code in a new HTML document and then only, am I able to view html/php and modify the HTML elements, copy and paste it in the PHP file, once I have the correctly configured html elements/design.

I did a similar "set up PHP for Mac OS X - MAMP" the version available here, could I have set up wrong and this is why the Design mode?

Thanks, I appreciate your expertise of guy and any help!

Go to Dreamweaver > Preferences, and select File Types / editors in the category list on the left. Make sure that .php is NOT among the extensions of file name in "open in code view".

Add a file name extension in the list prevents the files to be opened in design mode.

  • My border shows in Design view, but not on the internet - no idea why, please?

    www.bristolequestrianservices.co.UK/sales.html

    It's my css. I don't know why I see the border in Design view but not live.  Does anyone know please.

    #leftContent{
    Width: 350px;
    border: thick;
    border-style: solid;
    color: #FF3399;
    border: #0F6;
    float: left;
    Padding: 45px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;

    }

    You accidentally use the shorthand for the border, rather than border-width and border-color, add the following "BOLD"...

    {#leftContent}

    Width: 350px;

    border-width: thick;

    border-style: solid;

    color: #FF3399;

    border-color: #0F6;

    float: left;

    Padding: 45px;

    margin-bottom: 10px;

    I'm using CS5. I modified a style sheet and the changes appeared in design exactly as I wanted them. I went to the Live View and they do not. I put the new stylesheet to the server and it changes do not appear online. The basic change was to add a border around the text that serves as a link to another page in the site.

    Try this:

    {.button_donate}

    do-family: Arial, Helvetica, without serif.

    font size: 24 PX.

    padding: 0px 8px 0px 8px;

    border: 3px start #1C778C;

  • Unable to show the new camera RAW files

    I recently bought a new Sony A7r MK2. Elements of 13 not recognize or import the RAW files from this camera. I think it has something to do with the format file has not been updated in elements yet, but there is no currently available updates. I studied this a few years ago for lightroom. A version of lightroom will formats support only certain camera, then you must buy the next version of lightroom for RAW format later. I suspect that this may be the case here. 13 items worked perfectly and my 6 month old Sony 77Mk2 is always important. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the links.

    I agree that 13 elements supports up to 9,0 ACR and I need 9.1.1 as you mention.

    I downloaded and installed the trial version of items 14 and who would still be NOT open raw from my A7R Mk2. help files > update simply confirmed the program has been updated. However today the program update itself with a cab new version 9.2 and now, finally, it will open my RAW files. Even better that that, I managed to manually install the new 9.2 ACR in items 13 (follow your links above to see how to do that) and who also gave the possibility to open my new RAW files to my 13 items.

    So overall - complete a victory with the new ACR update.

    Thank you for your help and links.

    If this does not help, try restoring preferences.  Note: This will eliminate your settings customized, extensions, etc. then save what you need.

  • .php files will not be displayed in Design view?

    Hello

    I am a fairly experienced dreamweaver user, using 3 years, but it's confusing to me. I've been using PHP includes my content for years, but all of a sudden when I secret my .html files to .php files I can't view in Design view, only the view code?

    Now, if I convert them to HTML it works fine... Someone knows how to fix this? Here is a screenshot btw:

    http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3814/untitled1vv4.jpg

    I solved the problem. To reuse for other people:

    Choose Edition > Preferences. Select the File Types / editors. Remove php from the "open in code view:" box.

    Woo!

  • Show design view

    I use dreamweave 4 and used for more than 7 years.   I like it.

    Recently, I had to help a friend who grabbed a site of exisitng as the old Web site to quit smoking.   When I check the existing souce of the html file, it does not show in the view Design Show.   What could be the reason?   And how can I check the result of the source in Design view.

    If you have CS3, you can move to that as long as your computer supports.  But despite this, when you move with forward with dynamic data, even in CS5.5 you are going to need a test server.  Because even though new versions of DW have Live View, which uses the webkit engine to render the pages (Chrome, Safari, iOS, Android), there still not a processing engine to process dynamic code.  What you need are programs such as MAMP or WAMP for the php/mySQL environments, or a version of Windows Professional where you can install IIS for ASP/.NET.

  • PHP and design view

    When I run PHP/dynamic/New document, I see only the Code view. Design mode and split mode are not available. Why? Any other document dynamic I post in all three views.

    Another thing to check: open preferences in the Edit (Dreamweaver menu
    menu on a Mac), then select types of files/publishers. If .php is listed in Open
    in code view, remove it from the list. You should then be able to move
    in Design view.

  • Looks great in mode live view, but not in Design view after adding php code

    Can anyone help with this?  I have a php with HTML5 page that looks much like the design view, live view and in the browser. I add php code above <! doctype html > and the page goes in all directions in design mode. If I switch to live view, the page looks a lot like new. The above code <! doctype html > is php with zero html completely. It's as if design mode try to read php despite start-up code and tags php in place.

    The only work around, I have found is to place <! doctype html > at the top of the page and view design looks great again, but this cannot be used in the browser as I have the php code that requires it to be the first items found.

    Here's an update:

    The problem was in the .htaccess file that I have uploaded to the server.

    I started above absolute zero. I have downloaded a new copy of Wordpress, supported my database online, active, work, reinstalled WAMP. Everything worked perfectly. Even got rid of the above errors that Dreamweaver gave me.

    When I placed the .htaccess file servers in the new copy of my local site folder, that's when things went haywire.

    Here is what says the .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine on

    # Use unique default PHP5 php.ini

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine on

  • SanDisk Ultra Backup 8 GB USB unable to view copied files unless the originals are still on the PC HARD drive?

    This could be me be stupid... but please humor if I am because I'm not supertechie - but I'm backup me of my hard drive on the SanDisk Ultra Backup USB drive using "SanDisk Backup" - if I leave the copies of the files on my disk hard original PC (the folder I'm backup of) I am able to view the files on the Flash drive.  If I delete the original files from the PC, I only have the ability to restore files from the USB Flash drive?

    The question of having an external device is to take the PC files and use elsewhere?  Is it possible to display the files on the USB key that you need to keep the original files on your PC?

    I'm sorry, you say SecureAccess MANAGER is part of your startup not SecureAccess.  The Manager is used for autostart SecureAccess on the USB drive when it is plugged.
