i do all of my editing in dreamweaver8
but what i hate the most is that when there is php code it just shows up as a icon.

is there any way to configure dreamweaver so the actual content and blocks appear in the design view as they would if i was looking at the site in a browser.

i want dreamweaver to pull the php info and display my content in dw8

anyone know if i can do this?

and the only way I can do it is to set up a local server on my machine via easyPhp or Xamp and then set a test on that server.

Since Php is a server side language I don't think its possible to view it in the design view.

there is no way to see php in the design view.

If you set up a test site on a local server you can view the php output using the F12 preview (if it stayed the same from vers. 6 to vers. 8).

But, since, DW is not a server in and of itself, I don't believe it can render php code in the design view.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible because there are numerous steps toward rendering the PHP code. Your best option is to develop each page the way you want it in solid HTML, and then cut-and-paste the pieces into Drupal templates.
