I have a tesing server on my comp (PHP 4.3.8 and Apache 1.3.29).  
I guess my first question is, can DW parse PHP code from within its ‘design’ view? I would **hope** it can, but its definiatly not working for me…  
Has anybody had any success with this? I have my root folder of my site at [http://127.0.0.1/~myusername/mysitesname/](http://127.0.0.1/~myusername/mysitesname/)  
and it works awesome through the browser, and through the ‘preview in browser’ option in DW, so its not my local server.
