PHP and frontpage with design view as default

[Eric]

I have a PHP file that I need to modify visually. I have made 'design view'
the editor by default for teh extension but I can't see any design eleentsin
that view. The image isn't popping up. Ok, really don't know anthing about
PHP but i read in the "Frontpage 2003 inside out" book that it could be done.
I am using phplist ( www.phplist.com ) to sign folks up at my website. I can
see the code in "code view" but I can't see anddesign elements in design
view. Please help. I'm not a coder.

All server side coding (PHP / ASP) must be done in Html/Code View

sometimes, if the code that writes the html is in php it'll never show up in
design view.
this is the same for .asp. for instance the popular forum script "snitz" is
all response.write"this" and response.write"that" etc. it just doesn't show
in design view because the HTML isn't intelligible to FrontPage till it's
been processed by the server.
the same would go for php only it'd be echo"this" and echo"that".

HTH

it's not so bad working in code view. what are you trying to do anyway?

I was trying to make a custom page design that would remain with the overall
look of my site. I wanted to change to change the design elements directly,
visually. I did find some help at the actual spot that created the script.
You were helpful. Made me realize that i probably will have to know more code
then I want to, but I understand now more about php.

give me a shout through my site listed below in my signature, I'll take a
look at your stuff and see if I can give you any specific advice. I've been
messing around with some php lately. ;-)
