Hi, I have run into a problem and would greatly appreciate the help of

the SeaMonkey group mind.



I am designing a new site where I would like to use an HTML document

with a .php extent type that the owner can edit using SeaMonkey

Composer. The document uses PHP statements on a PHP server.



When the document  is saved by Composer, it appears to delete the PHP

statements. For example



Before Save:



<html><head>

<meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-

Type">

<title>PHP Include Test</title></head><body>PHP Include Test<br>

<?php include("header.php"); ?>

</body></html>



After Saving as PHP_Include_Test.php



<html><head>

<meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-

Type">

<title>PHP Include Test</title>

</head><body>PHP Include Test<br>

<br>

</body></html>



Is there a work around for this using SeaMonkey composer? The users

like using SeaMonkey as a WYSISYG editor. I have used the same

technique with SeaMonkey using ASP statements and it seems to work

fine, on an ASP server.



Thank you very much,



   - Bob



Hi Bob,



I've just experienced the same issue. Did you get any solutions?



thanks

Helen





Don't edit the file in Composer, use Notepad or other plain-text editor.

That's not really a solution.


Just because you (or "the users") like Composer doesn't mean it's a valid tool for what you're trying to do. It isn't. Sorry you didn't like my answer but it is the answer: Learn PHP, create/edit your pages in a plain-text editor and your problems will be over.

I know of no WYSIWYG editor that will "create" valid PHP code for you.

I don't know of any WYSIWYG editor that will create HTML and CSS code (other than ridiculously simple examples) that will pass the validators:

<http://validator.w3.org/>

<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/>

Sorry, people have been chasing this elusive Chimera since the advent of the Web to no avail. There is no substitute for actually understanding and being able to write valid HTML and CSS.

"That's not really a solution" indicates that you don't understand the problem.

Sorry, don't mean to be harsh but the truth sometimes is.
