[Resolved] Has anyone else had any difficulty with dreamweaver?

[PowerSerge0]

Has anyone had difficulty transferring your PHP code into Dreamweaver 4? I transferred a pretty simple piece of code into it...just a password thingy I made.... but it got all screwed up and won't work right. For example - it shows all the code after I use a simple HTML command in the PHP code.

Like...

<?php
echo("<p>This is text");
?>

This would show up in internet explorer as:

This is text");?>

but it would work fine if I just made a .php outside of dreamweaver and used that....

It does the same thing if I try using PHP inside an HTML command. Like in a form command I'll try to use <?php echo("$PHP_SELF"); ?> and it shows all the HTML code after that....

any words of wisdom? Thanks.

but it won't work when I click the link... it gives me a page cannot be displayed page. So it doesn't really work still...

hi

first, just incase,

<? echo "this is text"; ?> works without ( )

and if you are posting form data to the current page

you can do :

<form name="whatever" method="post">

else, if posting to another page,

<form name="whatever" method="post" action="page.php">

and about dreamweaver, maybe you should try to reinstall it.

I use it just fine with php
