FrontPage and PHP?

D

Dan

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with using
FrontPage and PHP instead of IIS?

Anyone aware of any tools? code samples? Plug-ins?

Thanks,

Dan

FrontPage occasionally word-wraps PHP code becuase it
doesn't understand <? and ?> tags.

You can avoid this by configuring your PHP.INI
file to treat <% and %> as PHP tags, or by using
<script language="PHP"> and </script> tags in your code.

You might also want to get the FP addins for PHP available
at:
http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/downloads/addin/

Just:
1. Click Search For Add-ins.
2. Under Locate An Add-in By Name, enter PHP.
3. Click Go.

If you want to use an outdated scripting language like PHP you
will have to use Macromedia's DMX or some other application
because PHP is not supported by FrontPage. Go to Macromedia's
newsgroups.

If you think you are smart enough to learn PHP you should be
smart enough to understand why I would suggest you forget about
PHP and learn C# and the Microsoft .NET Framework or Visual
Basic.NET which are far more powerful and much wiser choices.

I was apparently wrong when saying FrontPage does not support
PHP as it appears there are hacks available.
