php extensions in Dreamweaver CS3

[millsyadam]

:confused;

I have installed Dreamweaver CS3, I am now trying to run a simple PHP script
(A 'Hello World') however when I try running the .php file my browser seems to
timeout and the page does not run. When I run a standard HTML page on the same
website it does work.
I am using IIS 5.1 is there something else I need to set-up for php to work?

Sounds like you have a problem with your PHP install (you do have it installed right?). Maybe take a look at this page for installing PHP:

You may want to ask follow up questions in the App Dev forum as that forum is focused on the dynamic server side of Dreamweaver:

orite mate .. youll need to make sure you have a HTTP server installed as PHP is server side , go to Apache and download the latest server software

I hope this is in the appropriate forum.
I currently have a website written with Dreamweaver and using php quite
extensively.
This is hosted on a UK ISP.
I have recently had rogue websites "added" to my disc space by someone unknown
to me, these sites are fake paypal type sites, I assume someone is sending
phishing emails to attract people to them.
I have deleted the sites and changed my access password 3 or 4 times but the
rogue sites still appear.
My ISP says that there is most likely a security hole in the php scripting -
this is where I am getting lost.
I have written the site myself, is is not a complicated site, but I was under
the impression that Dreamweaver created simple text code which was in php
language and this was parsed by the ISP host computer running the php program.
In my mind therefore the security updates would need to be done by the ISP. I
have been told twice that I am wrong but my ISP does not support php programing
so I am alone on this.
Do I need to update something, if so how? I have the most recent php release
running on my PC here but this won't help my ISP.

I would be gratful for any help or pointing in the right direction.
