For the server to process PHP script, the file name must have a PHP extension and not HTM or HTML.

Incorrect, simply add

     "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm"

to .htaccess. I asked the question how could it be done.

I am sorry but I wonder sometimes if people actually read the question before answering.

Is there some particular reason for retaining the HTM extension?

Why do I need to do this? well making mobile sites and accessing pages in software like Edge only see htm pages so any existing sites I have made cannot be edited in such software or converted into apps thru applications like andromo (http://www.indigorose.com/products/andromo/)

So my guess is that you have not thought about developing the pages in PHP, as they should, and renaming them for the purpose of applications that do not recognise the extension.

Yes I have thought of that, I only asked if it there was an option inside DW that will allow me to do it, otherwise I have to make a copy of the site and then go thru it and rename every page which can be quite a few.

Then if I open it in Edge I would need to extract the content changes and update the php version for future development of the site and try and keep two versions synced

Why the sarcasm? I asked a question and then get responses off subject can you blame me for pointing this out?

I am a web developer of a number of years and currently I am recoding existing projects into html5 for additional compatibility with new developments tools and net enabled devices I would have thought that Adobe would allow something like this in the prefs setting of DW.

I've been following this topic for a bit but haven't posted because I needed to get my head around what Andromo is.  Basically it's just like Phonegap, just without the support for the other operating systems.  If you are building an app you will not be able to use native PHP in your page with those builders from what I can tell because the App interface does not allow access to PHP because the content is run as if it is a local file.  So you would need to run the AJAX, JSON, or I've seen some posts on XUI to move the data to your server for the PHP to process.  The code is then executed by your server and sent back to the phone.  And I did some searching and there is even a post, albeit not very informative, in which a user asks this on the Andromo forums: http://support.andromo.com/discussions/questions/332-php-not-supported .

 

The only part of this that I don't understand is how Edge is fitting into this because, I will admit that I have not used Edge extensively, but to my knowledge it does not support PHP and that all information gets passed in through AJAX, JSON because PHP is not part of the HTML 5 standard unlike Actionscript is to Flash because the open standard is set to support as many platforms as possible so it would work with .NET also.

 

So to answer your question, as far as I know what you are asking is only possible from the server end and not something DW is programmed to do.  If I'm wrong in my understanding of what you are trying to do, please feel free to explain in a bit more detail what is going on, but as far as I can see there is no way to solve this issue.

Thank you,

I understand where you are coming from but I wanted to use edge for some simple layer manipulation as the page is 85% simple html with div layouts all controlled by css, the php side is just db linked content.

I was surprised that Edge would not see these pages as any additional code added to the page would not affect any php it would just affect the divs which are static and not constructed by any db call.

I just wondered if like with htaccess files on a server you could tell DW to do something similar process htm pages as php so the php tab & db panel do not disappear.

I can see where you are coming from, as a previous member of the Interakt beta team. Problem is Spry is a dead framework, the last update was April 29, 2010! compare this to jQuery development cycle!

I am still at a loss on which framework to invest my development time into, the landscape and expectation of a web developer is changing rapidly but there is no clear path for a developer to take.

It was so much eaiser when Macromedia and Interakt where around.....

Thats sounds nice! bit early for me 5pm in UK, Thanks for the heads up will have a closer look. Just a bit concerned at the lack of updates or development and the potental clash with jquery when mixing code types
