Editing destroys php code

[timminehan]

When editing pages made in Dreamweaver based on a template, Contribute removes
the white space in the code chunk. This causes "parse error on line ..." (this
line is the line after </html>!)

Here is the code as it should be

<?php
require_once("/Library/WebServer/Documents/includes/ldapauthfuncs.php");
if(!checkuser(2)){
//User is not logged in or does not have the appropriate userlevel so give
them the login screen
include "/Library/WebServer/Documents/includes/ldaplogin.php";
exit;
}
?>

Here is what Contribute does

<?phprequire_once("/Library/WebServer/Documents/includes/ldapauthfuncs.php");
if(!checkuser(2)){ //User is not logged in or does not have the appropriate
userlevel so give them the login screen include
"/Library/WebServer/Documents/includes/ldaplogin.php";exit;}?>

If I edit in text editor (code is locked in Dreamweaver) or similar to
rectify, all is good until Contribute edits the page again.

please help.

<?php
require_once("/Library/WebServer/Documents/includes/ldapauthfuncs.php");
if(!checkuser(2)){
//User is not logged in or does not have the appropriate userlevel so give
them the login screen
include "/Library/WebServer/Documents/includes/ldaplogin.php";
exit;
}
?>

I get exactly this error with my PC Contribute.

It looks like you're using a mac too. Are you using Mac Contribute or PC.

Is your code outside of a template directive? IOW not supposed to be touched
at all?

What I can't understand is that DW has been able to handle php since the year
dot, well 1.2, while Contribute can't. Perhaps the MM Contribute department
should go and talk to the MM Dreamweaver department and get a lesson in
Templates.
