PHP FILE CRASHES DREAMWEAVER CS3 - Aug 6th, 2010


Well, I thought it was a PHP coding issue until Donna from Interactive Tools came to the rescue...

She found an obscure thread on a Google forum from 2007 that addressed this type of issue and it turns out that it’s
more than likely a Dreamweaver/Windows bug. The thread offered a fix that worked for me but, as always, no guarantees.

Here’s the link to the thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.dreamweaver/browse_thread/thread/e493f48243a14b28/2fa3ea8a3c34ba5b

And here’s what they said:

There are a series of reports about CS3 crashing when PHP code is placed in a “select” element. It doesn’t seem to
happen to Mac users, only Windows, and here’s the fix they suggested.

1. Close Dreamweaver

2. Set your clock to the correct time if it isn't already set

3. Delete the file WinFileCache*.dat from (XP) C:\Documents and Settings\[Your username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver9\Configuration
or (Vista) “C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

4. Start Dreamweaver and the problem should go away.

This is a hidden file so you’ll have to go into Folder options in your control panel and check the “Show hidden and
system files” to find it.
