Preview with Dreamweaver

[Nosmo King]

Not sure if this is the best place for this but someone may know - I hope.

I'm using various php scripts, some of which need the page to be called .php rather than .htm

Using Dreamweaver, I've always been able to preview the HTML element in a Web Browser.

I've just upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 and now I can't preview anything in a We Browser.

TIA

php requires a server for it work

and ie doesn't read php files from your computer, firefox does.

well make sure that you have your site set up for a testing / remote server so that you can test the server side scripts (like PHP) also make sure that you have your testing browsers set up

Thanks for the replies.

I only want to quickly preview the page html design... I usualy upload it to my server if I need to test the php.

It worked in Dreamweaver MX with both IE and firefox.... now I've upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 I can't.

Is the HTML inside the php code?

have you re-setup the file - > Preview in Browser - > edit browser list?

It's an html website with some php scripts.

One of the scripts is bbclone's visitor stats. It will only work on my server if the html pages have the .php extenstion... not .htm.

I've been using this and other php scripts for years.

It's only since I upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 I've been unable to preview in a browser.
