You will get an error as the validator inside DW or any other editor for that matter doesn't like raw php being inserted into html code. If you run the complied page through the W3c validator your page should pass, without any errors.

The W3C Markup Validation Service

Does the page have a .html or .php file extension?

The Linter in DW will give the "special characters must be escaped" error if the file has a .html extension and has a php include.

It will not show any error on a .php file.

Save your PHP coded files with the .php extension.

NOTE: You will need a local testing server set-up & defined in DW.

Go to View > Live Code.

Use Live Document Validation. See screenshot.
