Question

I asked this question on Adobe’s member forums earlier, but it seems getting any responses over there is is pretty difficult. Their website has been so slow today it’s borderline unusable.

I’m attempting to add a form variable binding to a PHP document, but after each time I open the menu, type in my name and press OK, it does not show up in my Bindings box.

Here is where it’s happening:

and then nothing happens from that:

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Or what I haven’t done yet? Does this look like a bug?

Not sure if I described the problem in enough detail. Any responses are greatly appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

searching through the web via google search i stumbled upon a 2010 forum entry in adobe forums

here is the url form variables don’t appear in Bindings panel

That could include a host of all other unrelated issues

1.) is your wamp/xamp server on? or apache?

2.) is the php file you want to bind have a .php extension?

3.) Follow these steps

Add <?php ?> anywhere in your code view
Save the document
Make sure that the document is saved as a file with “.php” extension
Refresh the Desgin View (click 2x on Live View)
Look at the Bindings tab, it should read exactly as Example 1 above
If not, close the document and reopen it again

4.) disable liveVIew

5.) Delete the “.mno” document under the ( _notes ) folder. Just the “no name” document with the .mno extension will suffice. You will be able to create those form variable afterwards.

These were from a lynda.com tutorial with php and cs5
