    HTML is just the way a website is displayed.
    PHP is what you program web applications with.

    For instance:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php echo( "Hello, welcome to my PHP page!" ); ?>

</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Without the PHP extension, the PHP part wouldn't show.

    So, design your site in HTML (/ CSS) and code your web applications in PHP. :)

    Pages which are created in DW would further require your inputs to make them dynamic. You can use DW to create a structure and framework, and later on, add the code bit to get the desired result / output displayed.

    In dream weaver there is an option to select the kind of page you want to make

    go to File>New>New Document and then select what type of page you want to create

    Hope this helps, and if you need more help , let me know

    Actually it goes either way. It doesn't matter whether the HTML or PHP is first or in what order they're in anywhere on the page. Just make sure you're not printing anything out before the DOCTYPE or browsers will go in quirks mode.
