Help, trying to make ASP style tags work for PHP

[Jerry McEwen]

I've read a bunch of posts here and Googled and come up dry. Is my
host setup preventing this from working or am I doing something wrong?

Here is my question:

I am working on a site that is hosted on a PHP-enabled Apache server
and I rebuilt the site using a lot of PHP includes. The site owner
wants to edit in FrontPage and I cannot get pages to render as they
should in FP, not even in Preview Mode.

I have read the options and think the best solution is to:

A) Use ASP-style tags;
B) Modify .htaccess to override php.ini

I do not currently have access to the site's host, but am trying to
get this working on a server I can access and so far it fails.

I added this to .htaccess and tried it both above and below what is
already there:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>

php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/php"

php_flag asp_tags on

</IfModule>

Here is what was already there:

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.mysite.com (this was changed for this post)
AuthUserFile /home/txallcom/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/txallcom/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

Okay, after reading some posts in
microsoft.public.frontpage.addins, maybe I am expecting too much. I am
partially where I would like to be, but here is a new problem.

I changed htaccess and ASP style tags are enabled, but I see no
difference. I also installed the PHP Rocket thing and can't see where
anything has changed.

If I open a PHP page in FP 2003, no PHP is rendered; that's okay. When
I go to Preview Mode, any link I click on gets fully rendered, but the
one page I am working on does not. If it did, I could be happy.

Please help!

Server-side includes cannot be viewed in design mode or in the preview mode
as the includes run on the server.

You will need to use preview in browser.
