I built a php site that is hosted with an ISP. A friend who is a designer is supposed to edit the page content. There’s an area on the page that is open for page content, but most of the outer “wrapper” is built with include() files.

When she opens the files in design mode, everything is broken. I tried to set up a test server in DW, but this didn’t work either. I never use DW and am stuck.

Is it possible to work on a file off of a server via ftp in real time with DW? If not, can it at least be configured to render the php code in design mode somehow?

Thanks,
D.

    PHP is a server-side language, Dreamweaver is catered toward simple client-side HTML web pages. You would need to setup a PHP interpreter somehow in order for Dreamweaver to show you the output of the PHP, last I recall when I used DW years ago it didn’t have that feature, so I doubt you’ll be able to do this.
