Display of PHP files in Dreamweaver

Question

After updating to Dreamweaver 8.0.2, I'm finding that I can't
view php files in either the Split or Design modes. It will only
appear in the code mode and won't let me select a browser to
display either.

Any suggestions?

Solved the problem. Apparently, files under the Finder that had a .php extension were labeled to be opened with another application. Changing to Dreamweaver, solved the issue.

P.S. - The problem wasn't a problem with file properties. It was a PHP Extension. If you have this problem, try turning off PHP Extensions and reinstall Dreamweaver.

Open Preferences (Edit > Preferences) and switch to the File
Types/Editors category. Make sure that .php (or whatever file extension
you are using for your files) is *not* specified in the "open in code
view" field.

The name of this field should be "open only in code view".
