Design view not available with php pages

[Charles67]

I am using Dreamweaver CS 3, If I have a page with an file extension of .php I cannot view the page in design view. If I want to use design view I have to give it an extension of .htm, do the work then rename the file with a .php extension. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Go to Edit > Preferences (or Dreamweaver > Preferences on a Mac), and select the File Types/Editors category from the list on the left. Make sure that .php is not among the list of files to open in code view.

Thanks, that solved the problem.
