Question

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 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."

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.

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?

PS Don't overwrite your local files without saving a copy first.
