I thought Dreamweaver did but as i was going to buy a friend told me it cant see design only the script. PHP doesn't have a 'design view', your HTML controls that, maybe with the help of PHP but HTML is what is given to the browser and that's what you see.

As a PHP script differs in each output, it can't have a preview. If you want to preview just save it and visit it with a browser. If you have dreamwaver, you can also set up remote servers, and then a CTRL+s action would automatically upload your file to the server. example that it doesn't have the same preview each time: <? $a = rand(0,1); if($a == 0) { echo "Preview 1"; } if($b == ) { echo "Preview 2"; } ?> Sometimes it will show you preview 1, and sometimes it wil show you preview 2. Also, PHP can handle data from databases, files, browser, etc. you can run a script like this: www.testserver.com/myscript.php?var=abc now you would have $_GET['var'] set to abc, but once you go to www.testserver.com/myscript.php?var=def $_GET['var'] is set to def, and so you can choose to give it a total different look. So the only option is to use a browser. Tijnema --
