I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2020...My website is in PHP...So when I want to edit it I normally use the LIVE view...But the problem is it keeps prompting me to save every second...How do I disable it?

    This is part of Live View and is unavoidable. In order to show you the changes live the file must be saved.  If you would prefer the updates could be made in Code View or the old Design View to not have to constantly save.

    Can't I at least adjust the saving time? Maybe it should save after one minute or so... It keeps prompting me to save every second that tt's hard to keep on writing...because after typing a few letters a pop up box appears...it's so irritating!

    Maybe you would be happier working with HTML files.  So SaveAs HTML and work with that until you no longer need to see the layout.

    You don't.  Save often with Ctrl/Cmd + S as I do or switch to Design from the Document Toolbar. 

    NOTE:  If you don't save often in Live view, you may lose code changes when switching between document tabs.

    The problem is tht Design view doesn't allow me to view PHP files...All the styling is gone when I view it in design view.
