    Yep, that's the way PHP in Live View works in DW now (annoying as all get out).

    Switch from Live to Design View and the prompting should stop.

    Hi John,  Ok, I will do that. Thank you for your help. I did also find another workaround if anyone is interested.

    • Temporarily rename the PHP extension to an Html extension,  comment our the PHP scripts and build.
    • Once done, change the files extension back to PHP and remove the comment tags.

    Use Ctrl /Cmd + Shift + F11 to toggle between LIVE & DESIGN.  It's quicker than renaming files.
