Database in Dreamweaver

I am a graphic designer with nearly no knowledge of coding
and I would like to know if there is a way to either link a
database created witha a third party app into dreamweaver and how,
OR the existence of some extensions.
I use Dreamweaver CS3 on Macintosh and have a very little
budget. Thank You

I am not entirely optimistic, Ken.

How do you display database in Dreamweaver CS6?

Trouble displaying 'greendata' database in Dreamweaver CS6
I am working on the exercise files for Adobe's Dreamweaver CS6 "Classroom In A Book", CH. 13 'Working with Online Data'. The problem I am facing is that the database provided in the exercise files ‘greendata’ is not being listed when I go to select a database.
I followed the specific instructions; but, I am still new to Dreamweaver and programming.
The MySQL Connection is working on the MySQL server 'localhost' with User name ‘root.’
I have XAMPP installed on my computer to run MySQL/PHP. I already checked localhost using my web browser to make sure that the ‘greendata’ is listed as a database; yet, it is not listed from the options when I try to set it up in Dreamweaver.
How can I solve this problem? Please help!
I need to have the 'greendata' database displayed from the list of options under 'select' within the MySQL Connection in Dreamweaver.

Thanks for those tutorials Nancy.
I followed the insturctions and I am still having the same problem.
The database that I create in phpMyAdmin is not being listed as an option within Dreamweaver. The connection is setup but I'm guessing that the problem is within XAMPP?
Why is it that a database that I have created in XAMPP isn't being transfered to Dreamweaver?
I've attached a few screenshoots to give you a better understanding of what I'm looking at. Hope someone can help!

Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
Here is some information...
1) I am running Windows XP SP2
2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

Help re databases in Dreamweaver 8

I am looking to set up a members database using Dreamweaver 8. I have MS Access. Is there an easy way of doing this and having a "login" facility based on membership category. The website is stored locally and uploaded to remote server via FTP connection.

Many web based membership systems run in PHP/MySQL on Linux servers (rather than MS Access which usually ties you to a Windows server).
You can develop this locally using WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/ then upload your site to a PHP-enabled server.

MySQL databases and dreamweaver

Please, somebody help me!!
I am on a Mac. I have my site up but can't use it because of
the database issues I am having.
1. I don't write code - hence my purchase of Dreamweaver
2. My host will not allow me to connect to MySQL
(server-side) and suggested I try an SSH. I got Navicat.
It seems I need to connect to the database through
Dreamweaver in order to create my PHP pages. I don't know how to do
it or if it is possible using an SSH (Navicat)
Also I don't understand the whole "test server" thing. It was
suggested I connect my Mac to a Windows machine to create a testing
server. Is this really necessary? I have an external hard drive
with tons of space. Can I use that? Are there any other options? I
don't know a single Mac user who has a spare windows machine lying
around.
My site is ready to go but useless unless I can this
database-access problem solved. I need to create PHP pages but
cannot do it without some sort of access to my database.
Please HELP!!!

See if this helps:

Connecting to a database in Dreamweaver/ColdFusion

Please Help!
I've created database connections to both Mysql and MS Access
databases in the ColdFusion Administrator Data Source page (I've
used both Mysql and Access to test what's wrong with the
connection).
However, I can't connect to them in Dreamweaver when I go
into the Bindings Panel in order to bind the databases to the
ColdFusion documents I've created in Dreamweaver.
The Dreamweaver Databases panel has the '+' displayed, but
when I click it nothing happens.
The text it displays is: "To use dynamic data on this page:
1. Create a site for this file
2. Choose a document type
3. Set up the site's testing server;
I've done all these things.
The Bindings panel has the same text as the Databases Panel.
Nothing happens when I click the '+' box.
My Mysql and MS Access databases are in the directory
"c:\coldfusionmx\db.
My site definition is as follows:
Local Info: local root folder - C:\CFusionMX\db\ http address
http://localhost:8500/
Remote Info: remote root folder - C:\CFusionMX\db\
Testing Server: server model - ColdFusion ; access -
local/network testing ; server folder - C:\CFusionMX\db\
In the ColdFusion Administrator my class path is:
C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar,
I'm running ZoneAlarm as my firewall
I didn't specify any passwords or users for my MS Access
databases.
So, I'd very much appreciate any help on how to get
Coldfusion to recognize my databases

1) in the DW's Databases & Bindings panels there are 5
steps you have to
take to enable remote connections, not 3 as you say - maybe
you can't
see the other 2 necessary steps (RDS setup and CF DataStore
setup), or
maybe you are using some old version of DW...
2) usually the problem is with step 4 - RDS setup. you had to
enable RDS
support at CF installation. if you didn't - there is a way to
enable it
without reinstalling cf, and if you search these forums you
will find
the answer.
3) RDS must have a password, which you set up in CF Admin.
4) i am also not sure about your DW site setup... the remote
and testing
server settings... the testing server should point to your
local site's
webroot... did you do the 'test connection' check at the DW
site setup?
5) definitely no ZoneAlarm at any time setting up anything
with cf or mysql!

Searchable database in Dreamweaver CS4

I want to create a page where a list our stores that would be searchable by State or Country. I have a very simple Excle file with all the information for the stores including phone numbers and addresses. I want fileds on the page that will allow a user to choose a state from a drop down list and then the results would show any store in that state, or NONE if a store did not exist.
I ahve read many things about MySQL databases and Recordsets, but I can't quite understand how to set the page. ANY help on this qould be greatly appreciated. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and I'm not that handy with it:(.
Thank you

Searchable database in Dreamweaver CS6

I can't find any tutorials. i just learned how to kind of use dreamweaver, TWO days ago. My teachers want me to make a website for another school, here is the story
Im in EAST (Environmental and Spatial Technologies). Now, our goals are to do projects with a need or change in mind.
My project is for a small school about an hour away. They wanted their Alumni photos to be digitized and put into a searchabel database by grad.date, Name, and Val. Sal. type things.
Well I kinda have the site made for them already, I just have absolutely no idea how to make a searchable database, i have no clue how to read code, we have no books about this stuff.
We are supposed to learn by using tutuorials, but i couldn't find any about this specifically. And on a side note, I have the table done in Access already, on a PC. BUT I'm using dreamweaver on a Mac. -.-
Any help is great. I HAVE to use dream weaver so please don't tell me to switch programs, this is the only one on this computer.
file:///Users/user/Desktop/WynonaPublicSchool/index.html
That is my site so far. It's only the beginning!!

This is NOT something you really want to attempt if you do not know anything about database set up in conjunction with Dreamweaver.
The basic principle is you set up a 'search form' on your website for instance 'search by name'
<form name="search" method="post" action="searchDetails.php">
<p>
<label>Search by Name<br>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" />
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>Search
<input type="submit" name="search" id="search" value="Search">
</label>
</p>
</form>
This from is linked to a Dreamweaver page which gets the information from a database based on the value input into its 'name' field.
That's the easy bit!
I don't know anything about Access database and what server language you require to be using to connect to it but whichever server language and database combination you choose to use the principle is the same.
First I would establish what server language you are going to use and what database.
Then you need to set up a local testing environment on your computer by downloading XAMPP or WAMP or MAMP which ever is suitable for the server/database language youre going to use.
Once you have installed that you can create a database and import or insert the information into it. You can then establish a 'connection' to it in Dreamweaver by going to Window>Server Behaviours>Connect.
Ok now youre lost...so I wont go on........see what I mean this isnt going to be as simple as ABC If you've never done it before.
I don't know if this link will make it any clearer or whether it will confuse you even more:

Need help connecting database in Dreamweaver MX

I'm using Dreamweaver MX, XP Pro and IIS. I installed the
latest version of PHP (5.2) and have mySQL and the ODBC driver
installed.
I set up the testing site in Dreamweaver. Yet, Dreamweaver
cannot locate my database(s).
I followed steps to edit the PHP.INI file to work with
Dreamweaver correctly, yet it's not working. However, now instead
of getting "An unidentified error has occured", I'm getting the
vague "HTTP Error Code 500 Internal Server Error" error.
PHP was installed manually at first but that didn't work
right so I reinstalled it using the auto install. It should be
accurate, only I can't see where I would enter the path to the
database files; there is no line for that in the SQL section. But
it's in the default directory so it should know where it is
automatically ... ?
Help???!!! Can someone walk me through the steps to see why
it isn't pointing to the databases?

Bump.

Help on working with MySQL databases in Dreamweaver

I am new to the world of dynamic webpages. I have been
following along on the Lynda.com videos Dreamweaver CS3: Beyond the
Basics, and Dreamweaver CS3: Dynamic Development, and have
basically got it figured out for doing stuff on my local computer.
However, I can't quite figure out what steps I have to take so that
I can take my database driven site live. I use hosting with both
ASTHost and GoDaddy. My hosting with each, I believe, is on Linux
servers (GoDaddy for sure Linux, ASTHost may be MS). I am designing
with DW CS3, and using WAMP as the PHP server on my pc. I am also
using MySQL version 5.0. My PHP version is 5.1.2 with ASTHost and
GoDaddy.
Can anyone point me to a good tutorial or site that explains
how to move the site from your own pc at home onto a hosting server
and make it work? I have tried a few things, but keep running into
MySQL errors.

I have seen a good solution at http://webdesignsolutions.co.in/add-phtml-extension-in-dreamweaver , this is very simple.

Connecting to database via Dreamweaver

Hi All
I am trying to build a site using asp.net and SQL Server via
Dreamweaver.!!!! To help me on my way I decided to build a tiny
test site just to establish the connections. However, try as I
might I can’t make a connection to a database and am now
rapidly loosing the will to live due to the quite unbelievable time
I have spent trying to sort this out. Now this post is my last best
chance.
I am trying to connect to either of the databases that come
with the freebee SQL Server package (Is it called express or
something?). They are pubs and Northwind.
I am using Dreamweaver 8, XP Professional with the .Net
framework v2.0 and IIS.
However, when testing the connection in Dreamweaver I get a
choice of two different error messages depending on my
computer’s mood (I don’t change ANYTHING) The first is
the beautifully succinct and entirely unhelpful “an
unidentified error has occurred”. The second reads:
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to
the
ttp://Localhost/RootFolder/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.asp URL,
Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.
After more hours trawling the net for answers, than I care to
admit to I decided in desperation to try out the Dreamweaver
tutorial that deals with these things (Café Townsend) to see
if it offered any clues. However, when attempting to connect to the
database (tutorial.mdb) I get the same two error messages:
“an unidentified error has occurred”.
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to
the
ttp://Localhost/MySampleApps/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.asp
URL, Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site. Again
dependent on my computer’s mood.
I am convinced that I have all the necessary components in
place and my connection strings are correct (I am aware that the
path given in the Dreamweaver tutorial for Café Townsend is
incorrect and have altered the string accordingly).
I now strongly believe the problem is something to do with
the MMHTTPDB.asp file in the _mmServerScripts folder but could
easily be wrong.
Does anyone know of a problem with Dreamweaver of this nature
or one that would result in my error message for either an Access
database or a SQL Server database?
I know Dreamweaver MX had a problem viewing database tables
whilst using .net and Adobe created a patch to fix the problem. Has
Dreamweaver 8 any similar problems?
I’m sorry this post is a bit long but trust me I could
have made it three times as long if I included everything I have
tried to resolve this!
Any help in the right direction would be appreciated more
than you can imagine.
Cheers
Burnsie

Sorry for jumping into the thread with a bit of an off topic question, but how do you find out what kind of a db the asp server is using? I've asked my company's web host a number of times for info/help in getting connected using Dreamweaver so I can redesign our site and I never hear back from them. It's a very specialized web hosting server set up for rubber stamp web sites. Looks like most of their customers use the online website design tool that they provide, but it is very limited in what it can do. Very limited.
They give me ftp access and I've changed what I can on the page, but with out access to the db it's hard to really change the look of the site.
Here's the link:
