I have apache, mysql, php installed manually on windows xp.
How can I make my dreamweaver configurable for php (so it can run php)..
I add this line:
<?php print "hello world"; ?>
But nothing appears
UPDATE:
I clicked on my site:
Site---->Manage Site-->Edit
Servers---->+
Server Folder:D:\Apache2.2\htdocs
Web URL: http://localhost:8080/
Now when I close this and add a new php file,, the php file works..but when I write the code in a regular html file like this:
<?php print "hello world"; ?>
The address looks like this:
http://localhost:8080/index.html
This is how on CS5:
- Click Site(in toolbar).
- Click New Site.
- Select the Servers tab and select the new server cross +
- Select the Connect using: option box and choose Local/Network.
- Select Server Folder: as the root to your htdocs.
e.g:C:\xampp\htdocs and the Web URL: as
http://localhost
- Click Save.
Adding a new file to the project:
In the Business catalyst panel(to the bottom right), Right click the connection - New file.
Rename it extension .php and your good to go.
UPDATE: PHP will not purse PHP in .html files by default.
Todo this:
Create a .htaccess file and place this in it:
RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
Hope this helps
Dreamweaver does not run PHP itself afaik. You need a Webserver that is able to execute PHP scripts (on Windows I recommend XAMPP apachefriends.org for local testing)
