I am trying to make a website for my business, and I bought Dreamweaver and Installed XAMPP on my Win 7 computer. The HTML design was simple to make, but when I tried making a login system I was told to create a PHP script. I went online I found some great videos on how to script PHP in Dreamweaver. The first problem I encounter is when I start typing PHP inside Dreamweaver; the starting (<?php) don't turn red, the whole script stays normal text black. My HTML and PHP login files are not saved in my XAMPP htdocs, they are saved in a folder on my desktop. When I finished my PHP script (still in normal text color) and click on the html file to test it out, my html does not execute the login that my PHP script tells it to do. When I type in username and password then click submit (in my html file), a dialog box opens telling me to save or open the php login file. I tried to give you as much information as possible, and any help would be great! I though starting a business was the hard part, but I was mistaken. So in short:
