FrontPage 2003 + PHP Code

[Will]

Hi, I have a FrontPage shopping cart that was written in PHP. When I edit a
PHP page (configured FrontPage to be the default HTML editor for it) it works
fine except when I save the page.

It seems the PHP page has some hidden form fields in there and any time I
save the page with FP the code is rewritten like this:

<input type="hidden" name="thetime" value="<?= $session["ordertime"] ?>" ?>"
?>">

So what FrontPage is doing is adding the extra ?>" everytime I save the
page. If I save it 10 times, then I will see ?>" 10 times on the same field.
I've disabled all of the code formatting and re-writing rules (optimize) but
it doesn't seem to have an affect on it.

Suggestions?

Hello Will!
Quizás deberías recordar que PHP es un lenguaje para programar del lado del
servidor. Las órdenes que te modifica el programa son las que corresponden a
acciones en el servidor. Intenta instalar MyPHP en tu terminal y ejecuta la
página desde allí. Así puede que te funcione..
Un saludo!

While I can't tell you exactly why FrontPage is behaving this way for you I
can make a suggestion to stop it:

your line:
<input type="hidden" name="thetime" value="<?= $session["ordertime"] ?>

could be modified to look like this:
<input type="hidden" name="thetime" value="<script language="php"> =
$session["ordertime"] </script>

by replacing the PHP delimiters (<? and ?>) with <script language="php"> and
</script> you'll "protect" it from FrontPage messing with it.

Yeah, I attempted to use that code but it still doesn't work. FrontPage is
tricked into thinking that this is a script but the code is not parsed in the
browser now.

Yes, I used ASP Styled tags for PHP and that resolved the issue. The only
thing I had to do was to override the PHP server settings with the .htaccess
file since ASP style weren't enabled in PHP.ini.

Thanks!

that php code isn't parsed in the browser (at least it shouldn't be).

if you're sure you've done it right try this;
go into code view and pick up that whole form, then back in design view set
your cursor where you want the form to go, hit insert/ web component/
advanced control/ HTML, and paste the code into that dialog box. FrontPage
WILL leave it alone.
