To preview PHP in CC versions of DW, you need to install and run a local testing server like XAMPP or MAMP. Here is some information on how to do that...

PHP code must be parsed by a server, either your live site server or a local testing environment. It also helps enormously to keep your local site folder inside your local testing server's default web directory.  See screenshots below.

 

Wamp = www

Xampp, Mamp = htdocs

If you set-up a local testing server, be sure to change DW Preferences to Static Browser Preview.  See screenshot.  In my experience, Localhost works better without interference from Real-Time Preview.
