are there php differences from dreamweaver 8 to 11.5?

I have just upgraded from dreamweaver 8 to 11.5.  I would call myself somewhat of a newbie with dreamweaver actually.

The scripts I have been working on were existing and I have been making changes just fine with dreamweaver 8.  Now that I

have upgraded, it seems that all the pages are pretty much broken.  The inital html page works ok, but once it tries to run the

php code and create the dynamic page, I get what looks like my php code being displayed on the page.  Is there somewhere

to go read about changes that might be needed when migrating from dreamweaver 8 to dreamweaver 11.5?

Thanks!

Patty

I would like to add to this discussion. Uploading files in Dreamweaver CS5.5 seems to compress all the html and php by removing spaces and returns. The result creates broken php.

I thought it might be caused by the FTP Performance Optimization option on the testing server, but that has not been the case. When I disabled this option, the compression continued to occur. It's not evident on the local server, because it happens on upload. Anyone know why?

Which part isn't true?

1. I created a new php page in Dreamweaver CS5.5

2. I created two new recordsets

a. Here is the code:

<?php require_once('Connections/Rani.php'); ?> <?php $Section_find = $Rani->newFindCommand('CATEGORY'); $Section_findCriterions = array('cat_ID'=>'*',); foreach($Section_findCriterions as $key=>$value) { $Section_find->AddFindCriterion($key,$value); } $Item_find = $Rani->newFindCommand('ITEM'); $Item_findCriterions = array('cat_ID'=>'=='.fmsEscape($_REQUEST['cat_ID']),); foreach($Item_findCriterions as $key=>$value) { $Item_find->AddFindCriterion($key,$value); } fmsSetPage($found_records_find,'found_records',10); fmsSetPage($Section_find,'Section',10); fmsSetPage($Item_find,'Item',10); fmsSetPage($Sections_find,'Sections',10); $Item_result = $Item_find->execute(); $Section_result = $Section_find->execute(); if(FileMaker::isError($found_records_result)) fmsTrapError($found_records_result,"error.php"); if(FileMaker::isError($Section_result)) fmsTrapError($Section_result,"error.php"); if(FileMaker::isError($Item_result)) fmsTrapError($Item_result,"error.php"); if(FileMaker::isError($Sections_result)) fmsTrapError($Sections_result,"error.php"); fmsSetLastPage($found_records_result,'found_records',10); fmsSetLastPage($Section_result,'Section',10); fmsSetLastPage($Item_result,'Item',10); fmsSetLastPage($Sections_result,'Sections',10); $Item_row = current($Item_result->getRecords()); $Section_row = current($Section_result->getRecords()); $found_records_row = current($found_records_result->getRecords()); // FMStudio Pro - do not remove comment, needed for DreamWeaver support ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <table name="Menu_table" style="background-color: #000000; " cellspacing="1" width="400"> <tr bgcolor="#EEEEEE"> <th>Section</th> </tr> <?php foreach($Section_result->getRecords() as $Section_row){ ?> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <td><?php echo $Section_row->getField('name'); ?></td> </tr> <?php } ?> </table> </body> </html> 3. I uploaded the file and tried to preview. a. Here is the error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home8/thrpsdes/public_html/rani2011/Testing.php on line 1 4. I went to the remote server and downloaded the page. a. here is the code: <?php require_once('Connections/Rani.php'); ?><?php$Section_find = $Rani->newFindCommand('CATEGORY');$Section_findCriterions = array('cat_ID'=>'*',);foreach($Section_findCriterions as $key=>$value) { $Section_find->AddFindCriterion($key,$value);}$Item_find = $Rani->newFindCommand('ITEM');$Item_findCriterions = array('cat_ID'=>'=='.fmsEscape($_REQUEST['cat_ID']),);foreach($Item_findCriterions as $key=>$value) { $Item_find->AddFindCriterion($key,$value);}fmsSetPage($found_records_find,'found_records',10); fmsSetPage($Section_find,'Section',10); fmsSetPage($Item_find,'Item',10); fmsSetPage($Sections_find,'Sections',10); $Item_result = $Item_find->execute(); $Section_result = $Section_find->execute(); if(FileMaker::isError($found_records_result)) fmsTrapError($found_records_result,"error.php"); if(FileMaker::isError($Section_result)) fmsTrapError($Section_result,"error.php"); if(FileMaker::isError($Item_result)) fmsTrapError($Item_result,"error.php"); if(FileMaker::isError($Sections_result)) fmsTrapError($Sections_result,"error.php"); fmsSetLastPage($found_records_result,'found_records',10); fmsSetLastPage($Section_result,'Section',10); fmsSetLastPage($Item_result,'Item',10); fmsSetLastPage($Sections_result,'Sections',10); $Item_row = current($Item_result->getRecords()); $Section_row = current($Section_result->getRecords()); $found_records_row = current($found_records_result->getRecords()); // FMStudio Pro - do not remove comment, needed for DreamWeaver support ?><!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body><table name="Menu_table" style="background-color: #000000; " cellspacing="1" width="400"> <tr bgcolor="#EEEEEE"> <th>Section</th> </tr> <?php foreach($Section_result->getRecords() as $Section_row){ ?> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <td><?php echo $Section_row->getField('name'); ?></td> </tr> <?php } ?></table></body></html>

The part that says that DW is compressing the code and removing the spaces.  If you are seeing that being done, it's not being done by DW.

I don't know what's causing it. DW CS4 uploads the file without compression occurring. DW CS5.5 uploads the file and compression occurs. Your defense of DW is admirable, but not particularly helpful.

Still no solution. I used FireFTP to upload the file and it worked fine. No compression and the page functioned properly. Uploaded the same page in CS5.5 and it is compressed and no longer functions. I don't care if you think I'm full of it. This is a real problem for me. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate them.

If you have a reproducible case (and it certainly sounds like it), submit a bug report through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. Information submitted through that form goes directly to the engineering team. This is a user-to-user forum, so the only help you're likely to get here is if someone else can reproduce the same problem. I've certainly had no FTP problems with CS5.5, but there might be some unusual configuration issue (probably on the remote server) that's causing your problem.

Yes the PHP is different.

Which PHP version does your server have?  Your scripts need to be compatible with your server's PHP.

If they're not, you may need to have your host upgrade the PHP & MySql for you.

I found out that CS5.5 uses php 5.3. How do I allow it to use 5.2? I'll ask in the forum, too.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 has code hints and syntax checking for PHP 5.3, but that doesn't affect the code that you write. In fact, the Dreamweaver server behaviors are compatible with PHP 4.3. However, the server behavior code was rewritten in the Dreamweaver 8.0.3 updater and PHP hotfix. If you didn't apply the updater and hotfix, you need to remove the existing server behavior code and reapply the updated (and more secure) versions generated by Dreamweaver CS5.5.

Where can I find the 8.03 updater and hotfix. I only see 8.01 and 8.02. Sorry if I'm dense.

No, you're not being dense. I was mistaken about the number. It was 8.02. However, the download page for the PHP hotfix appears to have been removed. I did have a link to it from my blog, but it now links to a nonexistant page. Unfortunately, Dreamweaver 8 is no longer supported, so I have no idea where you might get a copy. Sorry.

I had the same problem and found a simple answer on this forum. The answer I received is from  Murray *ACP*

"The symptoms you describe are almost always related to a mismatch between the linebreak type in the code and the native linebreak type on the server.  Check your DW PREFERENCES and see what you have specified under Code Format > Line break type:.  That should match the SERVER's usages."
