Hello,
Howdy.
Is FP2003 going to display PHP or not? I've looked
everywhere and the details are rather vague. The PHP
rocket addin for Frontpage is out of business, and I
would rather not use Dreamweaver. Can anyone shed some
light on the status of FP2003 and PHP, whether we will
be able to edit and view our edits? TIA!
PHP support seems unchanged from FP2002, meaning that
each <?php ?> block shows up in Design view as an <!>
icon. This is no better or worse than the treatment
accorded ASP code, which shows up as a little VB icon.
Code view doesn't disturb leading spaces, line endings,
or other types of code formatting.
Worst case, you can use <script language="php"></script>
tags or configure the php.ini file on the server to make
PHP recognize <% and %> tags. FrontPage definitely won't
disturb code marked either of these ways.
Of course, to see the results of running the PHP code,
you'll need to save the page and browse it from a Web
server. (Same as ASP and ASP.NET).
