Using Microsoft FrontPage with php

Question:

Hi, I came across this page:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011092991033.aspx

which seems to indicate that I can use php with FrontPage. Can you help me out?

Answer:

I checked out that link you sent. According to the link you do not need the frontpage extension at all for php coding.

However you do need to make some changes to the FrontPage editor program on your computer. The page recommends you:

1. Use :

script language="php"> and /script

tags

instead of

< ? php?> tags.

2. ShowConfigure PHP file extensions to open in Design view

If you are doing php coding it may be best to not use FrontPage at all. The items above that I copied from Microsoft’s page should solve most of the problems. However at times FrontPage may not recognize the php code and try to reformat it.
