I have just tried Quick Live Preview for the first time.
When I click the temporary link to look at the site on S-Drive, one of my pages does not display.
It is a contact page with a PHP extension.
All works fine on my normal hosting account.

Am I overlooking something?
Thanks for any help.

At this time S-Drive does not support PHP, so those files will not appear. If you want to have a PHP contact form, you would need to use our Web Form Builder program.

i want to preview my unpublished site (work in progress) on my tablet, phone or someone else's computer. How can I do that?

You can't publish anything ON a tablet or phone (well, maybe Galaxy tablet, because there you can add a memory card). Publishing on someone else's computer has to be allowed by the owner of that computer, and it could be very risky if that computer were open to access from 'outside'. But if you have a friend with a computer, take your source files on a memory stick and go over to him/her and view your site.

I think Coffeecup provides a quich view of a site on their S-Drive. I haven't used it, but it means uploading it there, and then it will be deleted after a day or two.

If, however, your site consists of .php files, I'd recommend that you install WAMP server on your own computer and view your files as if they were online.
