Dreamweaver Templates & PHP

[aaron_karp]

I'm designing my first site that is based upon Dreamweaver templates. I created the custom template with one main editable region for the main section of the page. However, I want to use this section for many things, including PHP/MySQL driven information. However, whenever I try to add PHP code in the editable region and save the file, it tells me that "Making this change would require changing a locked template. The change will be discarded."

I can add any other tags to this region that I want, including tables, forms, and plain text - yet every time I try to add PHP, it gets upset and deletes the code I just wrote.

Any suggestions?

I had this too. Apparently it is a bug under Dreamweaver. There is a patch for this available on the support site.

Generally though, I tend not to use templates with PHP stuff anyway. For some reason it just seems to get fiddly.
