Let me start off by saying that I am not a pro with nuke (shocking isn't it?)

Anyway, I was trying to edit the theme (anagram) for a site I'm working on so I opened the theme.php file in macromedia dw, made some changes, then re-posted the file. Only problem is, that instead of seeing the site, I now see the theme.php file! What can I do to fix this?

If anyone has a second to help me out I'd be VERY greatful as I feel like a complete idiot. The site is ! [ Register or login to view links on this board.] Thanks a lot!

I went back through the code in dw and saw this - could this be my problem?

This is at the top of the code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<!-- saved from url=(0080)ftp://psytrip:[EDITED-FTP PASSWORD WAS HERE]@msuunderground.com/public_html/home/themes/Anagram/theme.php -->

<BODY>
&lt;?php

Yes dreamweaver adds extra code you have to edit it in another type of text editor like NoteTab.

ok, I kind of figured that dw messed it up somehow.

Any ideas on how I could fix it? As it is, when I type the address in, it just brings up the code.

Change the theme/THEM_NAME/style/style.css for the colors. Erase the added code or reupload the original theme.php before you made the changes.

I tried copying the code out of dw and putting it into word and deleting the code added by dw and then reposting but it still says there is a fatal error. I only messed with one line of code to test it out and when I saw it failed I put everything back to normal. So I'm really at a loss here. From what I can tell, all the code is as it was, I repost and everything is just code still.

I really do appreciate your help man - I know I'm a pain in the derrière
