Is Dreamweaver 8 a nono for PHP uploads

[tumbleweed]

Running into a problem getting file attachments to actually attach to formmail sent email. Emails are received but attachments aren't. I know issues existed in previous Dreamweaver editions when creating PHP files. In an effort to troubleshoot the issue I'm wondering if Dreamweaver may be the culprit. By the way, I'm using Apache/LINUX as my server.

1.) Anyone know if Dreamweaver 8 is okay to use?

2.) Does Dreamweaver add extreneous content and have a problem sending ASCII that I'm not aware of? Intuitive is a subjective word indeed.

Have modified the code appropiately per documentation in formmail.php and sampleform.htm and checked with my host provider which allows file uploads. May dabble with php.ini and .htaccess. I'm just thinking the actual upload isn't right somehow.

If ya feel like flaming me thats okay; i'm resilient. I'm trying to figure this out on my own. Any feedback would be appreciated.

looking at .htaccess (havent done this for years)
order, deny, allow seems kinda redundant.
my .htaccess files reads as follows
and the php file is set to 644

Mode User Group World
Read X X X
Write X 0 0
Execute 0 0 0
Permission 6 4 4

.htaccess file in /public_html folder is:
# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.sexyrussiantravel.com
AuthUserFile /home/sexyruss/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/sexyruss/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

so far I believe Dreamweaver 8 to be okay sending .PHP files.

Further, concerning file attachment not working, I found a solution.

By moving <formmail>.php into the root (www) directory on the server, which also contains .htaccess, the attachments were included in the received email.

For prototype reasons, I had previously placed formmail.php and sampleform.htm in a subdirectory I had created.

Hope this post helps someone along the way avoid some grief.
