Automating connection string to mysql?

I've just started to venture into some of my own php scripts that don't not follow the step by step beginner tutorials. What I can't seem to understand though is how do you get dreamweaver to automatically write the script to establish a database connection.  I've connected to the database by going to  DataBase -> Connect and inputting the settings in the dialogue box.  DW acknowleges that the connection exists.  But it doesn't automatically write the code to facilitate the connection, ie
$hostname_conntest = "my_hostname";
$database_conntest = "my_db";
$username_conntest = "my_username";
$password_conntest = "my_password"; etc..
I have to first create a record set to get this connection code written and then it seems to include about 25 more lines of code that don't seem necessary for what I'm trying to do, such as inserting magicquotes formula and so on. 
does anyone know a simple one button solution to get the very basic connection settings to write to the source code of a new php doc.? 
Thank you.

I usually just put the connection details in a stand alone file and use an include file in each page which needs a database connection
<?php include('database_connection.php'); ?>

  • Report Designer odbc connection string for data source using a parameter

    I am using stand alone report designer 3 for the present and have a question/problem regarding the odbc connection string for MySQL when setting up the data-source
    I need to be able to enter a parameter which is the database name i.e. BOE-201401 or say BOE-201312 etc  from a list of databases the user can choose from.
    at present the odbc connection string points to BOE-201402
    the connection string is at present  Dsn=Development Server for MYsql;description=MYSQL;server=ldndw01;database=BOE-201402;port=3306
    my parameter has the name BOE_DATABASE
    and in an expression it is  as such
    =Parameters!BOE_DATABASE.Value
    I want to point the datasource for the report to the parameter value before the user sees the report.

    Hi Leslie,
    Based on your description, we want to design a report with a dynamic DataSource connection string. There are the basic steps below for your reference:
    Create report with static database.
    Change data source to report parameter.
    Send new database connection string as a report parameter. 
    More detail information, please refer to the following blog: Dynamic Database in SSRS 2008.

  • Help with mySQL Connection string

    Here is hoping someone can help & once I get it down I promise I'll post all my work on this list so some other newbie can benefit.
    I'm simply trying to run a very very straightforward JDBC test with mySQL & I keep getting the "Server configuration denies access to data source" error. But before you tell me that I must simply look at what my mysql.db & mysql.user table allows - I'VE TRIED THAT. I realize that the error is probably there somewhere - but I can't see it.
    I've tried connecting with 2 different accounts - the provided "root" & a user I created "deep" to 2 different databases the provided "test" & "testdb" which I created) . Here is what mysql says about the two different databases
    mysql> select * from db;
    Host  | Db         | User |.......
    -----+------------+-------
    | %         | test    |       | ......
    | %         | test\_% |     | ........
    | localhost | testdb  | deep |........Note that "root" should have access to "test" & deep@localhost should have access to "testdb" right?
    So here are all the connection strings I have tried - all return the same error below
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
                "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "root", "mypass"
    //            "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb", "deep", "mypass"

    you have your driver jar in Tomcat\common\lib?
    if so, check your classpath, it could be that.

  • Can' t connect Java with MySQL

    My goal is to connect Java with MySQL. I found many solutions on Internet, but I always get the same mistake:
    SQLException: No suitable driver
    SQLState: 08001
    VendorError: 0MySQL works fine alone or with php.Only thing left me to think is that the installed versions are not compatible for this mysql-connector-java-5.0.4
    I don't believe that could be a reason.
    Installed versions are:
    Apache Tomcat 5.5.20 Server
    Apache HTTP Server 2.2.4
    PHP 5.2.0
    MySQL 5.2
    jre 1.5.0_11
    jdk1.5.0_11
    Apache Tomacat JK2 connector Version: 1.2.20 File Name: mod_jk-apache-2.2.3.so
    mysql-connector-java-5.0.4
    I also set connector in class path: C:\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4;C:\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar;C:\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4\src\com\mysql\jdbc
    For installation I used manulas from:
    http://apacheguide.org/jsp.php
    http://doc.51windows.net/mysql/?url=/MySQL/ch23s03.html
    Here is also a test code in java:
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
       public class Connect
           public static void main (String[] args)
               Connection conn = null;
               try {
        conn =
           DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/first_test" +
                                       "user=monty&password=greatsqldb");
        // Do something with the Connection
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        // handle any errors

        System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
        System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
       }i'm desperate, please help or tell me someone who'll know the answer.
    Thank You in advance

    hey buddy .. it seems yr code is wrong .. in getconnection () method u should also specify the port ,which u r not doing ...
    the default port for MySQL is 3306 ... see below i am giving you a sample code ... its working fine .. and dont forget to put the MySQL driver jar path in to classpath and also copy the jar into common/lib folder of your tomcat ....
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;

    I've solved the DW problem by changing the site folders from
    'db' to 'wwwroot' e.g. 'C:\CFusionMX\db\' is now
    'C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\
    However I'm now back to my original problem. I've lost my
    mqysql connection in CF Adminstrator. Before I made these changes I
    could connect to my mysql databases using the following settings:
    JDBC URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
    Driver Name: MySQL Connector J
    using the following Java path and file:
    C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar
    Now these settings give me the following error:
    "Connection verification failed for data source: javaserver
    []java.sql.SQLException: SQLException occurred in JDBCPool
    while attempting to connect, please check your username, password,
    URL, and other connectivity info.
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: SQLException

    Any suggestions on this would also be welcome.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for Adrian's help.
    Hi shaza,
    From the error message, I suggest you can refer the Adrian's suggestion to check the date source connection string correctly.
    In addition, you can refer the following about how to Create a Data-Driven Coded UI Test to check your issue:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624082.aspx
    Or you can also try to use a Configuration File to Define a Data Source for coded UI test.
    For example:
    <?xml
    version="1.0"
    encoding="utf-8"
    ?>
    <configuration>
    <configSections>
    <section

  • Cannot connect java to mysql server 2000

    I was unable to connect to the mysql server 2000 with the jcreator.
    The following exception was thrown:

    MESSAGE: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
    STACKTRACE:

    ** END NESTED EXCEPTION **
    and the code i used was :
    package com.stardeveloper.example;
    import java.sql.*;
    public class JCustomer {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
    con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///Customer", "user", " ");
    if(!con.isClosed())
    System.out.println("Successfully connected to MySQL server...");

    } finally {
    try {
    if(con != null)
    con.close();
    } catch(SQLException e) {}
    I donot have any user and pwd for the MYsql server, it is local host connection and window authentication is used.

    eventhough it is local ,you may need to specify dns/localhost/ip with port number.
    otherwise you can use myODBC driver which is freely available in mysql website. you can connect to the database using Data source Name, just like using any other ODBC connectivity.

  • Sql / msql connection string

    Hi
    How can i do to connect to a sql or mysql database created in azure pack? the "View info" buttom show the connection string but, the server name is the listener name of my tenant cluster. Is there any option to connect like "publish profile?"
    or something like that¨? 

    Hi,
    We can find the server name, database name and user name from the connection string. We can connect to the database with the information provided by the connection string.
    If you want to connect to the database by API, please refer to the link below,
    SqlConnection.ConnectionString Property
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring(v=vs.110).aspx
    Best Regards.

  • Connect Forms to MySQL JDBC

    Hi,
    I need help connecting to a MySQL db through oracle reports using a jdbc connection.
    I have downloaded the MySQL JDBC driver:mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar.
    I can succesfully use it to connect if I write a simple java program. So I know the driver works.
    I have set it in my classpath & edited the jdbcpds.conf file by adding the following:
    <driver name = "mysql-merant"
    sourceDatabase = "other"
    subProtocol = "mysql"
    connectString = "mainProtocol:subProtocol://databaseName"
    class = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    connection = "oracle.reports.plugin.datasource.jdbcpds.JDBCConnectionHandling">
    </driver>
    When I try to connect, I get the following error, ERR 62002 failed to connect to the data source.
    What do I have to do to connect? Is there a way to directly give the connect string?
    I can connect to an oracle DB using a the Oracle drivers no problem, why does forms not accept the MySQL driver? What can I do to make this work?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    With Reports 9i the mysql-connector-java doesn´t work for that. You don´t have to edit the jdbcpds.conf. mysql-merant doesn´t exist. Just download MyODBC conector and then stand up your database in your DSN system. Use the wizard to make a report, then use JDBC Query and using jdbc-odbc driver, fill the fields
    then you have connected MySQL
    very easy.
    I hope this help you
