PHP Code Reformatting... Wrongly!

[Scott K]

Frontpage, for some reason, thinks it knows more about PHP than I do. I insert a bit of code..
CODE: <img src=<? print("\"{$directoryComics}{$comic[$strip_id]}\" {$dimensions[3]}"); ?>"
and it changes it to..
CODE: <img src="<? print("/"{$directoryComics}{$comic[$strip_id]}/" {$dimensions[3]}"); ?>%22" ?>"

The first one is perfectly formatted and works fine. However, upon save, Frontpage changes the first line into the second. I am in Code view, and have disabled everything about Intellisense and code formatting I can find. Is there any way to either get it to stop this by turning off an option I just can't find, or a way to insert code literally so that Frontpage doesn't look at it at all? Thanks in advance

You can avoid these problems either of two ways:

o Configure PHP to look for <% and %> tags rather
than <? and ?>. This is an option in php.ini.

o In your code, use <script language="php"> and
</script> tags rather than <? and ?>.

And there are some PHP addins for FP that will help at http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/downloads/addin/default.asp
