If you set-up a local testing server, be sure to change DW Preferences to Static Browser Preview. See screenshot. In my experience, Localhost works better without interference from Real-Time Preview.

PHP code must be parsed by a server, either your live site server or a local testing environment. It also helps enormously to keep your local site folder inside your local testing server's default web directory. See screenshots below.

Wamp = www

Xampp, Mamp = htdocs
