WYSIWYG for .php files

[Terry Liittschwager]

I just installed BlueGriffon to give it a try.

Almost all of my html files have a file extention of .php because there is a:

<?php include 'menu.html'; ?>

to bring in a common navigation menu.

I don't care about looking at the menu as WYSIWYG, but the .php file extension appears to be preventing BlueGriffon from showing the rest of my html as WYSIWYG.

Any thoughts on a convenient work around?

Can't you just rename the files as .html temporarily?

[Terry Liittschwager]

Yes, but from my standpoint if I have to go to the trouble of rename, edit WYSIWYG, rename, I may just as well edit the raw html. Thank you for the thought, though.

You may put a feature request on bugzilla.bluegriffon.org?

Another simple possibility is to make apache parse .html files as php by adding the following line to the root .htaccess - file of your website:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

This worked on my local XAMPP installation . According to 

http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/how-to-parse-html-files-as-php/

depending on your configuration, other lines of code have to be used.

I don't know, wether one has to modify also every .htaccess of subdirectories.

This worked great, and my problem is solved. I did, however, put in a new feature request.
