Dreamweaver CS5.5 Mobile Apps with PHP and MYSQL?

Hello,
I don't have Dreamweaver CS5.5 yet and I've been trying to search for information on this but I couldn't find any. I've been learning PHP and been developing with MYSQL with Dreamweaver CS5 but I wanted to know if I can use the same tags and everything if I would to build a Mobile App using the new Dreamweaver CS5.5 (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs-55-web-premium-feature-tour-/dreamweaver-cs-55-jquery-mobile- pages/). I overlooked at the video and it seems pretty easy building an app. So is PHP and MYSQL easily integratable? Are there any examples that I might be able to check out?
Thanks!

No. PHP is a server-side scripting language that requires a server (or server-like environment) to run.
An iPhone (or Android) application does not allow for a "built-in" server (which is resource intensive and has scary security implications). You just can't build an application with PHP/MySQL for a mobile device. Instead you can build a web service that your HTML/JavaScript mobile application can then communicate with. This is the only supported way you can use PHP/MySQL in a mobile app. Again: the PHP/MySQL should reside on a server and your HTML/JS mobile app can then communicate with that web service. That's what instapaper and other applications do.
Frankly, just make a web application that's mobile device friendly and you'll:
1) Avoid all the messiness of the app stores
2) Have greater control over what your web app can do (don't have to tow the Apple/Google line)
3) Have a web app that can work across mulitple mobile devices as well as standard web browsers (i.e. more audience = more $).
4) Future proof your application (pushing updates to your server and everyone using your web app is updated)
Otherwise, read-up on Adobe AIR and what it supports and remember, the best apps are written natively for the platform (i.e. want to write an app for an iPhone? Learn Objective-C and use xCode on a Mac. Want to write an app for Motorola Xoom? Learn the Android SDK and use inteliJ).

Question about Dreamweaver Native Mobile Apps with PhoneGap

I am trying to determine the best way to build an app for my business. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, but needs a clean UI that is easy to navigate and interfaces with an online database. The PhoneGap intergration with Dreamweaver 5.5 seems really intriguing, but before I spend the $650 to upgrade my creative suite, I had some questions.
Doing some research, I have found multiple references to apps created in this way running slowly. Noticable lapses on button pushes, pages loading slowly, etc. Is this an issue and if it is, is there any way to get around it?
Idealy, I would deploy my app to both Android and iOS devices, how smoothly does that run? I have some basic knowledge of both Java and Objective-C, but using dreamweaver seems to be quite a timesaver.
If anyone has any input or comments about using Dreamweaver to create native mobile apps I would love to get some feedback. Thanks!

PhoneGap builds mobile apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You cannot use a server-side language, such as PHP, with PhoneGap.
Presumably, you want to connect with a MySQL database on a remote server. To do so, you would need to use Ajax to send and receive data from the MySQL database. You can use jQuery to send and receive data as JSON. PHP has JSON functions that decode and encode data as JSON strings.
How difficult or easy you would find setting this up depends on your knowledge of jQuery and PHP. I don't know of any tutorials that show how to pull everything together for PhoneGap, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find tutorials for using jQuery Ajax to communicate with MySQL.

Problems with PHP and MySQLi server behaviors

Hi,
I'm a graphic and Web-designer with some knowledge of PHP and MySQL and I've been using Dreaweaver since very early ages in creating dynamic web projects and use the Bindings and Server behaviors quite a lot. But recently PHP has deprecated MySQL_connect since 2012 and it seems Dreamweaver isnt suporting the alternative MYSQLi server behaviors which will be the future of accessing Databases in MySQL along side with other options. Without this feature Dreamweaver is not of any use to us web-designers, since there are many Free great Editing software out there... Is the Dreamweaver team solving this problem? Or are you really planning on dropping this software? I've been using CS5.5 for a while and was planning on updating but this is a key feature and without it its not worth the investment.
Kind regards.
Eddy

There are no plans that I know of to introduce a new set of mysqli server behaviours into DW from Adobe. They have left that to thrid party developers to bring out extensions which replace them.
What the server behaviours could do was very limiting anyway so I suspect any replacement mysqli behaviours would also be very limiting. I personally jumped into thre code and started to write my own mysqli connection files and query strings by watching a few simple tutorials on youtube - it isnt that difficult.
Look for 'php academy' on youtube - they have about 9 simple to follow tutorials on getting started with mysqli.

Mobile apps with phonegap + mysql ?

Hi,
i was searching for a long time but didn't find answers. is it possible to show database-driven content within mobile apps made with dreamweaver cs6 ?
If so, are there any examples or tutorials on the adobesite or elsewhere?
Looking forward for any answer :-)

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) application to a page in a Muse site?

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) (Cartweaver 4) application to a page in a Muse site? Do I have to export the Muse site as Html to dreamweaver and them use the extension to bring the shooping cart in or can I do it directly in Muse?

We have experimented with doing this with some good success. We have been working on adding Cartweaver to a Facebook page by essentially adding a Cartweaver store to Facebook in an iframe. The "store" would be pages with just your basic product display, cart, and checkout functionality, with none of the "window dressing" - just use CSS to match the color and general look of the design it's being added to.
The one problem with this for Facebook is when it comes time to check out toy have to leave Facebook and go to your server where an SSL is in place. Fortunately in this situation this would not be the case, you can have an SSL installed to the root of your site and you'll be okay.
This is an interesting project. Give this a try and let me know how it goes and if you run into any snags, please make a post on the Cartweaver forums: http://forums.cartweaver.com - I'm really confident that this can work, and not only work, but work well.
Looking forward to hearing how this goes, and being of what help we can.

PHP and MySQL Connection problem

I am trying to make a PHP MySQL on a remote server connection in Dreamwesaver CS3.
When I enter the information (host, user, password, etc.) and hit TEST, I get the following error message.
"Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured."
I know the user, password, etc. work, as I can access the MySQL database with other software.
I checked with my host and they say there are no permission problems on their end.
I have checked the settings on the Test Server page in Site Setup and everything looks correct and works there.
I have not seen this particular problem described in other forum postings (although there are a LOT of postings on this topic!).
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought my testing server was the remote server and is always on as far as I know. I don't know how to turn it on or off.
Is there some other testing server that I should be aware of?

I know you are using remote, but is your testing server on? if not turn that on and see if that does it. it just happened to me working on remote server and could not get mysql conn to work, until I turn on my testing (developer server), then I was able to connect to mysql and the tables that I created in phpmyadmin remotly was downloaded.

Set a max Upload quantity dreamwaver php and mysql

The issue,
using dreamweaver php and mysql I Would like to set a max
quantity limit on file upload per user. i.e max 5 uploaded images
allowed per user.
Here is a basic example of the creation. Just need the
implementation of how to set a max upoad limit.
create table authors(
id int not null auto increment primary key,
name varchar(10) not null
image_quantity tinyint(1),
create table images(
aid int not null,
image_filename varchar(50),
foreign key (aid) references authors(id)
User id 1 would upload a file into the table images from a
php or html webpage. i.e set values "thomas.jpeg", "1"
i want to set a max upload of 5 images per user. (a folder
for each user id will be created and photos stored in that).
I could add a field of max_upload tinyint(1) to the table
users and construct a php script that could add the amount of
images entered by a user into the images table and add a +1 to each
added. Problem is i dont know how to create that script or mysql
querty in order to enter into a recorset for example.
As anyone have any ideas of the best way to set a max
quantity limit of uploads.
Thank you.

I need to know how I will create a dynamic website using php and mysql

I need to know how will I create a dynamic website using php and mysql that people could have the abilities of registering in the website, and modify their profile where they can add their pictures and everything. apart from that, they should have the ability to search about other member. hope to here more from you.

If you are a right-brained creative, and have no previous experience or propensity to be able to understand coding and database "stuff", and/or if your time can be better spent on other skills, I recommend you save your sanity and hire a developer... or at least the first time around. I have been attempting to grasp this for years... and have a library of marked up books to prove my efforts, all while trying to keep up with an ongoing client base that is always cramped. It's a wonder I still have my sanity... then again, I might not be the best person to determine that. Others might question it.
That said, I still plan to master php... one of these days.

Trying to get Apache, PHP and MySQL up and running

I have just bought a new MacBook and I want to set up Apache, PHP and MySQL in order to create a local mirror of a website I have in my 'Sites' folder.
I fall at the first fence!! To get Apache, I switch web sharing on in System Preferences' and I get the green light. When I click the links for personal website or computer's website I get a "Safari can't connect to the server" message.
Any ideas what I should do now?

Stephen Dancer wrote:

You will need to make some change to the index file in your Sites directory in order to enable Apache for that directory.
You will have to enable PHP in the Apache config file at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
For MySQL, you will have to install it, and then fix it. You'll want to remove the StartupItem it wants to use and replace it with a launchd file. This discussion has a good roundup of the very latest tricks to get MySQL up and running with the latest security updates.

The value of BigInteger object must be stored in a
column of type Decimal.if this is the case I fear you are SOL. a decimal is the same size as a double but with a fixed max number of decimal places. if it isn't big enough then you have no real choice other than to VARCHAR it.

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.

The performance of management system with Java and MySQL

Hi all,
I want to develop one management application with Java and MySQL. However I am not sure which is a good way to design the system. The system has to deal with customers' data in the database.
Should I create objects for every customers when application starts so that I do not need to access to the database often? Or
Should I access to the database everytime the user want to deal with customer's data?
Welcome for any suggestion.
Thank you

Question About what Azure Services I should be using for mobile app with website.

Hello,
I am wondering what Azure service would be best for my new application. I need to have an SQL database that I can connect to and modify from both a website and a mobile app preferably WP8 and Android. I was not really understanding whether I would need a
mobile service or normal SQL database. Which should I use or am I completely off track?
Thanks,
Matthias

Mobile Services uses SQL Database, nothing special on that SQL Database, its just like any other "normal" SQL Database.
Mobile Services provides "back-end services" that simplifies accessing SQL Database, Notification services, authentication, etc...
Let's assume you don't use Mobile Services, to use SQL Database, you would need your app (both mobile and web) to connect to the database. In practice, you will not want to expose your SQL database directly, so you'd end-up writing some kind of a "facade"
that your app will access instead of directly connecting to the database.
Instead of writing that "facade", Mobile services provides that for you (you still have to write code though, but less than what you need to write if you're rolling your own).
Both your web app and mobile apps can share the same SQL database (pay attention to the mobile service schema).
To help you decide, ask yourself what other features will your mobile app require? Authentication? Notification? etc... are you prepared to write those on your own or use various libraries instead of one?
