I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004. Everytime I insert a server behavior it changes the extension of my web page. When I insert a visit counter on my index page the page goes from index.html to index.php or whatever the format of the server behavior is. Why does Dreamweaver do this? I had been using Microsoft FrontPage and I am new to Dreamweaver.

If anyone can I help, it will be appreciated.

Server Behaviors are scripts that are required to run on the server. Remember, HTML is "flat" (static), and ASP/PHP run on the server -&gt; get parsed -&gt; output static HTML.

So Dreamweaver is changing your .html to .php because the Server Behavior(s) you are using place PHP code in your HTML document, hence the extension change.

Thanks Chris. How do I upload or save the page with the php server behavior to the server to run? That is the problem I am having.
Thanks for your help.

you upload a php page the same way you upload an html page.

ftp it to your web server.
