Database copy in php/mysql with Dreamweaver 7

I'm designing a new website/customer that I would like to
duplicate an existing database and queries. Is there any easy way
to do that? The working web is housed on a server running PHP and
MySql. I am using Dreamweaver mx 2004 v7.0.1.
If there is an easy way, could you step me through it?
If there is not, how much of the database management can be
handled in Dreamweaver?
Thanks
Linda

Problem when displaying images when working with PHP, mysql and dreamweaver in a brower

Hey Guys
I am new to dynamic development but I already did some
research and tutorials about how to get a dynamic web site working
with PHP and Mysql in Dreamweaver. I set up a test page to view
some content on it directly from the mysql database and it worked
just fine in dreamweaver only when I pressed the
live data view.
When I tried to view the same page using the browser preview
with firefox and internet explorer, plain text from the database
was correctly displayed on the brower but the images were absent.
In the mysql database I used the varchar as my picture data
type field so that I will refer in dreamweaver in the data binding
panel in the img.src to the picture column of my database.
I anyone can tell me what am I doing wrong so that my
pictures are not displayed in the browser when i click the browser
preview facility in dreamweaver I would be very very and very
pleased ! :)

The odds are that it is the way that you have referenced the
images rather
than an issue with the database. If you have the images root
relative like
this "/images" then they will work in preview, and on the
webserver, but
will not view when looking at the file via localhost.
If possible make the links page relative and then they should
work fine.

Local net ssh failure Tiger (PHP MYSQL Apache Dreamweaver)

I can't be sure, but I think this problem started with the latest security update. I'm 80% done with my first web application using PHP and Mysql in dreamweaver when I began getting an unknown error from dreamweaver when attempting to connect to my DB on my testing server. After 2 days of debugging and re-installing apps I finally wiped the testing server (G4 400 Cube memory topped out 120GB HD, down to the metal) reinstalled Tiger, fully patched, edited the httpd.conf file to enable php 4.4.1. Installed Mysql 4.1 (which was the last general distribution with a packaged install) and the server works fine, so I created myself as a user in mysql @localhost & @localmachinename to replicate root user. Navicat was up and running in no time, so I re-populated my server from my backup. Then I jumped over to my design workstation (G5 2Ghz Dual, 2GB Ram, 250GB HD) only to find navicat can't login to the mysql server because ssh wont connect to the G4. After much testing I discovered ALL of my macs will attach only to external addresses. My linux box, external linux boxes, even windows boxes emulating ssh will attach internally or extenally, the macs won't talk to anything in the local network 10.0.x What the ****! My project is now past due and I'm stuck because I can no longer ssh from any macs to internal machines mac or otherwise. PLEASE HELP!!! is there an SSH pakage so I can re-install? I couldn't find a mac ssh package on apple or ssh.org, Will that even make a difference? Can I uninstall the security update? Can anyone suggest a workaround?

G5 Dual 2G Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Mac comes with a fully functioning Apache web server with all the scripting languages (except VB). You need to enable them in the configuration file.
You need some light weight UNIX administration skills to do this. Use the system restore disk to set the password for the root account.
Open a terminal screen from the Utilities folder in Applications. Type "su", press return, then enter the root password you set using the system restore disk.
Make a backup copy of the Apache configuration file with the following command (type this in with no mistakes and press the return key).
cp /etc/httpd/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.copy
Enter the following to open the Apache configuration (type this in with no mistakes and hit the return key).
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf &
Locate and remove the # comment symbol from the following lines and save the file in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.
#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
#AddModule mod_php4.c
Exit the TextEdit application and quit out of the terminal application.
Put the following web page into a file named greetings.php inside the folder Library/WebServer/Documents.
<html>
<head>
<title>Experiment</title>
</head>
<?php
echo "Greetings";
?>
</body>
</html>
Once you have made these changes, you can reboot to activate the changes.
Put the following into your browser to test the configuration.
http://localhost/greetings.php
You should see "Greetings" on a web page titled "Experiment".
MySQL is a separate server that you need to download and configure to complete your web server.
I hope this helps.

Database Connection using PHP/MySQL on OS X

I created a database connection originally on my XP machine
using Dreamweaver CS2 and everything worked as it should. I
recently switched to a Mac and CS3 and while I can see the
connection file in the Connections folder, it appears grayed out in
Dreamweaver. I tried to create a new data connection to see if that
would solve this problem, but it won't let me. I typed in all the
information and when I clicked "Test" or to browse for the
appropriate database it pops up an error message saying "An
unidentifiable error has occurred". I'm sure I could work around
this by manually coding everything, but I'm a novice in programming
and need to be able to use this feature. The worst thing about it,
is that anytime I have to make a change to the web page, even if
it's not regarding this section of code, it gets messed up. I have
made backups, but once they are opened on the Mac they are messed
up.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, PHP/MySQL on a remote server as I
still can't get my local web server functioning properly under
Leopard. Any help would be appreciated because I haven't been able
to find anything regarding this error online.

That usually means that something is preventing communication
between
Dreamweaver and the testing server. It could be a firewall or
anti-virus
software. In the Testing Server section of the Advanced tab
in Site
definition, Host directory and URL prefix should both point
to the same
place. The first is the physical path to the top level of
your site, the
second is the URL you enter into a browser address bar to get
to the
same location.

Hope someone out there can explain to me how i achieve my goal, or maybe can point me in the direction of a tutorial.
Thanks

Is it possible for me, to work with my php based website on my computer, and have it connected to my SQL server?.
Yes, but it will take you a while. You must feel good with HTML and CSS before launching in to PHP, which will be a learning curve in itself.
Hope someone out there can explain to me how i achieve my goal, or maybe can point me in the direction of a tutorial.

(PHP/MySql) Create Recordset but no column

Thanks for reading this, I am new to PHP/MySql
I have created a website www.ritchiecraft.co.uk which uses
PHP/MySql with Dreamweaver 8. I have created recordsets on most
items pages and filtered data as neccessary. After the site was up
and running I was required to insert a new topic and when I went to
create a new page and insert the recordset no data was placed in
the columns area and the filter/sort options were greyed out. I
checked the existing pages and found that this was happening to all
pages with recordsets. The connection, table data was there.
The site still works fine but I cannot introduce new pages or
edit existing because of the recordset problem. I was advised
previously to delete the Dreamweaver cache file but this did not
help.
The site is hosted commercially and the database was created
with phpMyAdmin and dont seem to have any connection problems.
Thanks for your time and any suggestions are welcome.

You can't do it through the Recordset dialog box. The simple
way to do
it is to create this query in the Recordset dialog box:
SELECT * FROM myTable
ORDER BY myOrder ASC
Then go into Code view and locate the following line:
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT * FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";
Change it to this:
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$col = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($_GET['id']) :
$_GET['id'];
$col = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
else {
$col = '*';
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT $col FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";

Inserting special character like apostrophes with PHP/Mysql

Hi friends,
I have a problem with php/mysql. I have created a form inton a php page with dreamweaver and when i try to fill the form with a string containing apostrophe ( ' ), i have a error. It seems that the insertion is not possible. Could you have any idea for that. I give you the php dreamweaver code and thank you for your help.
<?php require_once('Connections/Mainconnect.php'); ?>
<?php require_once('Zend/Date.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";

                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['field1'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['field2'], "double"));

"Normally, you canot use mysql_real_escape_string without connection to database"
That is not true at all. Try running the following script.
<?php
if ($_POST['submit']){
$x1=$_POST['test1'];
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
if (!is_array($value)){
$_POST[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
extract($_POST);
echo "The text after 'becomes' should be escaped (\')<br/>";
echo "$x1 becomes $test1<br/>";
?>
<hr/>
<form action="#" method="post" />
Enter some text, including an apostrophe: <input name="test1" type="text"><br/>
    <p><input name="submit" value="submit" type="submit"/>
</form>

PHP MySQL Error Code 500

May be someone can help me out with this problem.
I have setup a new site using PHP MySQL and Dreamweaver 8.02.
Dreamweaver connects to the database but after creating a
recordset the recordset cannot be used.
instead Dreamweaver returns:
HTTP Error Code 500 internal Server Error
Any help will be much appriciated.
Jos

Hello,
I have also had the same error - namely that whilst I could connect via ftp, upload/download files, and view database tables, any attempt to view of modify recordsets resulted in error 500.
Having checked other potential causes (e.g. selection/non-selection use of passive FTP setting, enabling of php, etc.), on the back of posts here I contacted my host and asked if if could relate to mod security, as further investigation revealed that the issue only occurred on sites where mod security had not been disabled (I don't like to disable mod security for obvious reasons - and I'm told you can't do that site by site with apache2 anyway).
After a few false starts, the problem was resolved - with the following response from my host: "The false positives were being generated by "/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php" and that is what we've worked around in the rules. As such, any domain on [servername] using that script in the same way shouldn't generate a false-positive moving forward."
So it seems the answer (assuming your on an apache server of course) may be to modify the rules to allow full access for MMHTTPDB.php.
I hope that is of help to some.

You don't need a local testing environment, but it's highly
recommended
that you do. It's much more efficient and secure.

I watched about four minutes of that "tutorial". It's totally
useless.

The reason that doesn't work is because the creator of the
"tutorial"
failed to explain the difference between quotation marks and
backticks.
What actually appears on screen is not what you have typed,
but this:
$query = 'CREATE TABLE `menu` (
`mid` TINYINT( 3 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(20) NOT NULL
`link` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( `mid` )
Note the difference between ' and `. The second one is called
backtick,
and is located above the tab key on most keyboards. In this
case, you
don't need it. The following would be fine:
$query = 'CREATE TABLE menu (
mid TINYINT( 3 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(20) NOT NULL
link varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (mid)

How can I associate file types with Dreamweaver so they open automatically?

I've just installed Dreamweaver CS4 under Windows XP
Professional but I've an issue with which files types are
associated with Dreamweaver.
When I first ran DW CS4 the application invited me to select
which type of files to associate with Dreamweaver: .css, .js,
.xslt, php, etc. I deselected a few as I was using another editor
for those at the time. However, I would now like to associate PHP
files with Dreamweaver CS4, so that when I double-click a PHP file
in Windows Explorer it opens in Dreamweaver CS4.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to run the initial dialog box again that
invited me to select which files to associate with Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance
Gareth

However, I would
> now like to associate PHP files with Dreamweaver CS4, so

Dreamweaver CS4.
Browse to any PHP file with Windows Explorer, right click
then select Open
With..., Choose Program and select DW CS4 (and tick the
"Always..." box to
make this the default file association)

How to use spry in the dreamweaver with the php/mysql

hello,
Iam new to the spry framework
and i want to know can we use the spry in the dreamweaver
along with php / mysql code
if so please tell how to do this
thanks in advance

The reason you get nothing when you save the page with a .php
extension
is because you have display_errors turned off, so you can't
see the
error message telling you there's a syntax error. The
semicolon is
missing at the end of this line:
> echo "<font color='white'>Hello
Swetha</font>"
The reason it doesn't work with an .html extension is
probably because
you haven't uploaded SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js. I have
copied your
page and tested it locally with the correct JavaScript file,
and the
tabbed panels work as expected.
There are lots of other mistakes in your page. You can't use
float and
position:absolute on the same element. In at least one place,
you have
used </br> instead of <br />. You have also got
an closing paragraph tag
after the paragraph that contains abc.jpg.
Getting Spry or any other JavaScript library to work
correctly relies on
good, clean code. Your mixture of inline styles and font tags
is going
to make it difficult to incorporate Spry into your pages. I
suggest you
improve your HTML and CSS before bringing Spry into the mix.

Where to go next with Dreamweaver and server-side (php/mysql) applications?

This question is mainly directed at David Powers but I appreciate any input from anyone with the same concern or question.
I've been using DW since the change from Macromedia and have developed a number of applications using built in server behaviors and sb extensions from ADDT, WebAssist, etc. I've learned to customize these behaviors to fit my needs always keeping within the "canned" code. In this way I've "learned" php.
I own most of David's books and in fact, it was because of these that I have any idea about what I'm doing and went in this direction in my "developer" career (building php/mysql applications using Dreamweaver.)
With the decision to remove server behaviors (and the other "developer" panels) from DW and with the deprecation of the mysql extension from the php landscape, I'm wondering where to go next? I fully understand this has to happen.
I'm aware of some alternatives:
Zend or some other framework - to me, this seems extremely complex
Keep several versions of DW installed
Stick to Joomla/WordPress/Drupal - let others who know what they're doing build the architecture
Actually LEARN php - wish I had time; too much work to do (I know how illogical that sounds but it's a very real situation)
I know I'm going to have to switch out all that deprecated code or better yet, rebuild the many applications which used the DW (and other) server behaviors. I'm just not sure which way to turn.

rjjacob wrote:
Since I wrote this post I concluded that there is no substitute for understanding and have started my re-education by delving further into the issue with updated PHP/MySQL books and tutorials so I can prepare for a Dreamweaver without this functionality.
Yes, I too have concluded that is the way to go as well. There really is no substitute for learning as much as you can. Whilst the DW Server Behaviours were very convenient they have not kept pace, Adobe prefering to spent their time on less important updates in my opinion. The Server Behaviours are what makes Dreamweaver the tool of choice for database integration for those who lack the knowledge. I feel the Adobe team will regret not coming up with an alternative. Anything that detracts from making the program what it is is a step in the wrong direction and for sure this is a big step in the wrong direction.
rjjacob wrote:
I have mainly used DW server behaviors in my development projects that's why I am curious about what others are doing to make the change. I'm surprised there haven't been more posts; perhaps I'm the last one to be taking action about this, or maybe no one is too worried about it yet.
I think a lot have changed their working practice but many more are burying their heads in the sand. sql_ support is a way off from being completely dropped yet.
rjjacob wrote:
Anyway, your assessment of how terrible the server behaviors are is correct. I'm finding that true after barely breaking the binding on a few books about the greater subject and looking into mysqli and PDO.
Yes, because I relied heavily on them I did not know how bad they were until I forced myself to look further afield. What you can do in a couple of lines of code the DW Server Behaviors produced quadruple or more to achieve the same.
rjjacob wrote:
But they sure were convenient!
Yes, I agree. Maybe some extention developer will come up with a set of new improved behaviours. I tell you if they do they will make a shed load of money.

If DW 2014.1 cc does not support database, binding, server behavior, and PHP/MySQL require it, but using Adobe Extensions Mngr IS NOT recommended, then WHAT TOOLS do we use to develop a database with DW?

I'm using windows DW 2014.1 cc. I'm following lynda.com tutorials to build a website database with PHP and MySQL. I learned I have to download Adobe Extension Mngr to active DATABASE, BINDING, SERVER BEHAVIOR panels, which I've done. BUT NOW I'VE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO USE THESE TOOLS for new development. If this is the truly the case, then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?

then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?
Besides the tools you would already need for a system using server behaviors (web server, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin) the only extra tool you need is your own brain.
A lot of people are disappointed by the lack of database tools in DW now, but really it's much better this way. You can never achieve better than a rinky-dink dynamic website using server behaviors. The code Dreamweaver dynamic behaviors create is really terrible. (I'm not insulting the fine folks who wrote the feature. It's just a consequence of automated code.) You can write better, simpler, more maintainable code yourself, and over time you will improve. With server behaviors you cannot improve. you get stuck in database kindergarten.

XP SP3 with Dreamweaver can't link mySQL database

My OS is XP SP3
When it sets linking to database would show the error message
