How to stop DW from trying to interpret php code?

Hi. I've got a site that uses a tiny bit of PHP code just to load html from
other files into the page. It's real simple stuff. Before, Dreamweaver just
wouldn't display those sections of the page with the PHP load, but all of a
sudden for some reason NONE of my page will display in dreamweaver, making the
only way to edit the code view. I don't know why it started this, but it seems
it is trying to execute the PHP code or something and failing. Help? Thanks.

What is on the rest of your page? Do you have some basic HTML content with the
PHP script embedded in the head and/or body? My pages use such a mix, and in
DW8 Design View I see my regular HTML visual stuff, and the places where the
PHP code is located are indicated by the script icon with the letters "PHP" on
it.

A couple of times I have made mistakes such as leaving off the terminating
"?>" for the PHP block, and that has confused DW since it assumes that the rest
of my code is part of the script.

It used to and should look the way you described with the little "php" blocks
in the design view.

All my PHP code entails is a few things like <? include("banner.html"); ?>
which brings in my html code for my banner, sidebar menu, and footer from
seperate html files so if I need to change one of them, I can do it in a
seperate file and it will update throughout the rest of the site.

Currently, it is actually displaying the banner in design view and then
nothing else of the page. It seems it is actually interpreting a little of the
php and then getting hung up.

The code is still correct because it is what is on my site
(www.supergreenx.com) and it operates correctly on the server.

I'm in Dreamweaver MX 2004

Here is a bit of my code

<body text="#000033" link="#004A9D"
onLoad="MM_preloadImages('buttons_r2_c2_f2.gif','buttons_r4_c2_f2.gif','buttons_
r6_c2_f2.gif','buttons_r8_c2_f2.gif','buttons_r10_c2_f2.gif','buttons_r12_c2_f2.
gif','images/buttons_r2_c2_f2.gif','images/buttons_r4_c2_f2.gif','images/buttons
_r6_c2_f2.gif','images/buttons_r8_c2_f2.gif','images/buttons_r10_c2_f2.gif','ima
ges/buttons_r12_c2_f2.gif')">
<? include("banner.html"); ?>
<table width="800" border="0">
<tr> </tr>
</table>
<table width="677" height="1123" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="18" height="52" rowspan="2" valign="top">
<? include ("sidebar.html"); ?>
</td>
<td height="52" colspan="2" valign="top"><img
src="images/titlenewshome.gif" width="300" height="50">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

I'm guessing that you have <html>, <head>, or <body> tags in the files being
included, and DW is at a loss for what to do with them.
