Help with updating site

Question

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, I do appreciate it

I have a "static" site based on on html template created in
dreamweaver cs3. I would like to add php functionality to it. is it
possible to change the templates to php and therefore incude
something like a "welcome "usernane" thanks for coming back"
thoughout all the pages.

When I change the template document type to php I seem to
loose the conections with the pages made from the template and the
file name changes from a .dwt to .dwt.php.

So in the end can I change this site in one big swoop or do I
need to rebuild it using new php based templates.

Actually, a template for a PHP page will be .dwt.php. If renaming the
template in the site manager doesn't update the pages built from that
template, then you can do it with find and replace. Back up the site's
pages first. Then do a site-wide find and replace.

Search for /Templates/TemplateName.dwt

Replace with /Templates/TemplateName.dwt.php

After that, you may need to rebuild the site cache.
