Display of PHP files in Dreamweaver

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?

Correct answer Theoph
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".

HTH,
Randy

So, you open a .php file and it opens in Code View. From there, you
can't do:

View > Design

Is that correct?

Yes this is correct. I'm wondering if my preference file is corrupt.
