PHP code corrupts

[M.D'Souza]

I work on a couple of php sites that use PHP to pull the page title and meta
info from a database (all pages are .php). Sometimes when I open a site live
from the server in frontpage 2003 the php code gets corrupted with letters
instead of symols example - <? will turn into alt;? and " will turn into ";
this seems to happen off and on with the same sites that are hosted on
different servers. I checked tools>options>configure editors and it's set for
open as text should this be set to something else? If not what could be
causing this and how do I fix it.

I've done a bunch of PHP work with FrontPage and haven't had it happen to
me.
I rarely do it live on the server.

one thing you could do is use <script language="php">and </script> instead
of <? and ?>.

Chris thank you for your suggestion, I'm not as experienced with php as you
are can the script language be placed within the title tag and meta info tags?
