Using PHP within Dreamweaver

[bei_owlman]

Hello. I am a first time poster to this forum who has been developing in
Dreamweaver for the past three plus years. I have a client who has an existing
website that was developed using PHP. The client wants to add e-commerce
functionality to their website so that they can sell products on-line. I have
implemented several PayPal applictions through Dreamweaver, but have never
worked with PHP before. I have several questions in regard to this issue:

1) Can Dreamweaver be used to modify PHP code? If so, what is the process to
make that happen? At present, when I open a PHP page using Dreamweaver, all I
get is a blank work space.

2) Can PayPal Shopping Carts work within a PHP environment? If so, what
special things would I need to know to make this happen?

Any assistnace and/or direction that can be provided would be MOST WELCOME!

Regards,

- bei_owlman

If you want to edit PHP with Dreamweaver, the best idea is to forget the
design view and go straight into the code view, and edit everything by hand.
I haveb't even opened the design view in Dreamweaver in years!
