To open and read the .phtml (Zend Framework), .thtml,.ctp (CakePHP), .tpl(Smarty) files in Dreamweaver just like the .php files follow these steps -
1. Open the file – C:\Program Files\Macromedia\{Dreamweaver Folder}\Configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml (Replace C: with the drive name where your OS is installed)
2. Search “php,php3,php4,php5″ (It will be line # 75). After php5 add the extension. Like “php,php3,php4,php5,phtml,thtml,ctp, tpl”. There will be two occurrences. winfileextension for Windows and macfileextension for Macs.
3. Restart Dreamweaver and use these files just like php.
