there has to be a better way

[kasha]

hi everyone, i'm working in Dreamweaver with pages that have php scripts, and each time i want to see a change in my work i have to re-upload the page. is there a way i can view the pages on preview?

Break out of PHP to display HTML.

For example if you were going to do this...

<?php
echo "<a href=\"".$my_src."\">Click here</a>";
?>


Then do this instead..

<a href="<?php echo $my_src; ?>">Click Here</a>

This way dream weaver will be able to display the HTML without the need of server side includes.

or <a href="<?= $my_src ?>">Click Here</a>

or <a href="<?= $my_src ?>">Click Here</a>

Only if "short_open_tag" is enabled.
