Re: [Q] How to setup Dreamweaver so that PHP scripts are executed?

Thanks to both of you, but it is still not working. I've configured the site (both local and testing) correctly, but what gets passed to IExplore is the URL below: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\northwest_steelheader\rivers\northwest_rivers.htm http://localhost/northwest_steelheader/ does not get passed. I can't help but think that I'm not configuring the <form action=""> correctly. Cheers, Michael "Michael T.
