Re: <? view_content(78) ?>

I'm new at all this, so please bear with me.

OK. I'm a php newbie so I'll try to help.

I created a website and did
this all in php using dreamweaver. I later hired a programmer to connect some forms and reports to an sql database. I later had him upload all the files to the server.

Now, I need to be able to go in and edit some of the content - not touching the database. When i download the files from the server and open them again in Dreamweaver, all the content within the body tags seem to be replaced with something like:

<? view_content(78) ?> -each php page will have a different number - this one happens to be 78.

Does this mean that the programmer took all my content out and put that into the database as well?

It's somewhere. Not necessarily in a database.

Look for that function "view_content". It may be in an included file. Then you'll have a clue where your content is.

If so...why would they do that? Any reaon from a programming view point?

Well if everything between the body tags is gone, then it is awkward way of working. If only the editable part of the page, then that could be some Content Management System.

Or just making the pages load faster? Or making it impossible for me to edit content so I need to re-hire him each time I need changes?

Have you tried asking him.
