Question

Editing PHP pages containing forms crashes Dreamweaver

I have a small intranet project I'm using for doc storage and retrieval on a localhost machine.
Have Windows XP, DW CS3, MySQL DB, and phpMyAdmin.
The project was working fine up until about a week ago.
Now, whenever I place my cursor in an area of the php file that is between <?PHP ?> tags, Dreamweaver throws an exception error.
I had installed PEAR between the last time it worked and when it started throwing errors.
I removed all the PEAR folders and files and made sure PHP.ini isn't referencing any PEAR .dlls etc.
Checked environment paths too, BTW.
I'm still thoroughly broken though.
I'm inclined to think it's not in the code itself since that wasn't changed between the time everything worked and when everything stopped working.
Looking for any ideas as to possible causes of the problem.

Thanks,
Deleting the FileCache.dat file from the Dreamweaver user config folder worked.

It looks as though you have a corrupt cache file. Follow troubleshooting
