Design view in DW has a very limited use with PHP development, unlike xHTML. Use code view for your page editing and css for page design styling. Use your browser to preview your changes ...

PHP code is executed by the server which is why you can't see it in Dreamweaver (as that only displays client-side HTML). You have to preview your changes in a web browser (this can be done locally (via http://localhost/) if you have PHP, MySQL and Apache installed. Otherwise you'll have to FTP your pages up to your webserver and preview in a browser from there.
