I am using the last Dreamweaver CC. Everytime I load a web page to edit, the PHP includes show up as the tag only. It used show the content of the PHP include in the web page (see attached). If I highlight the tag and then cut and paste it back in, it shows up corectly, with the content of the include in the page.

Ideas?

Do you want to the see the contents of your include file in design view?

In edit > preferences > invisible elements have you got this setting 'show contents of included file' checked?

I already have that box checked. It is not showing.

I am not running a testing server at all. This is purely local. One the last few updates caused my Dreamweaver CC to no longer show the contents of my included file, (this is the code I use to include it: <?php include("../../incl_header.html") ?>). If I remove it and then re-add it, it displays perfectly.

Ideas?

No testing server? Hmmmmmmm.

When I try to open a PHP file without a testing server, I'm prompted by DW to specify one. That is how DW has always worked for me since the early Macromedia days.
