Saving a Dreamweaver template

[boydbartley]

When I save a .php page as a template, I always get the extension *.dwt.php. Is this correct or do I delete the .php at the end of page name? I am using Dreamweaver 2018 and on a Windows 10 Computer.

Yes.  That is the expected file extension for a proprietary Dreamweaver Template with PHP code.   An ordinary HTML template would be just .dwt.

Thanks for getting back so quick. Should I delete the .php at the end of the name or leave it that way. Or, should I create the template in an html page and then use that template on my php pages? Always one more question

No.  If your template contains PHP code, it should be named with the appropriate extension -- dwt for template and php for the code base.
