Include sql data using PHP in placeholder

[Teedee]

The php file does work & was being used while I got hold of using the php in a WD page. Using include allows me to maintain a 'look & feel' with a lot less mucking around. I started using WD because it gives wsiwyg. There is a lot of work designing in php. Isn't this why WD is so popular?

What is this 'dynamic tweak' you are referring to. Being able to dynamically size placeholders would be VERY useful to me if this is what you are referring to.

As I am a novice alternative, in fact any, suggestions are always welcome.

Include works in PHP files.
What stops you from using PHP files?

Dynamic page, not placeholder.

That's right. Create your design in WebDesigner and place the php include into the placeholder. Then export the page with php extension. That's it.
Doesn't it work?
In this case you'll be able to use a dynamic page tweak.
