editing PHP sites

[nulrick]

Hi! I'm trying to establish a connection to and edit a PHP site, but just get a blank page in the editor screen.. What am I doing wrong or does Contribute not work with editing PHP sites?

By default, Contribute is set to allow unrestricted editing of non-template
pages and to protect scripts and forms from being edited.

If you deselect the option that protects forms and scripts, users can modify
code embedded in your pages, such as SCRIPT tags, server-side includes, ASP,
JSP, ColdFusion, and PHP.

To do so , go Administer Site> Edit User and Roles> Editing and uncheck the
box for Protect scripts and forms.

You can also edit the page using an external editor - from the File>Action>
Edit in External application. Be sure to set up the default editor --found
under Edit>>Preferences>>File Editors>>Web Page Source. You cannot set up .php
as an extension since its reserved for Contribute.

I am also trying to edit a php site. I did change the setting that you
suggested and it still gives me the error.

you can't edit this page because it was not found on the website or in the
directory listing.

Suggestions?

thanks
