Dreamweaver CC and PHP / MySql

So what has happened to the database connections, bindings and server behaviors options. There are no DATA options in the insert bar.
I hope this is not going away.
Max OSX 10.8

Another whinge at Adobe's knee-jerk decision to remove Server Behaviors, Bindings, Databases & Components from Dreamweaver CC!
I have been in the creative advertising world since the early eighties and developing websites since the early nineties. I have seen many changes in technologies over that time and started using Dreamweaver when it was first born. I have been a fan of Adobe products for along time and recall one of the first Adobe products I bought was Illustrator'88 (take a guess when that was released!).
A few weeks ago I decided to 'upgrade' from CS4 to Creative Cloud. I looked long and hard at the pros and cons but did not come across the issue of the removed behavious panels. I have had a hard time recently (without going into any detail) and decided to commit once again to working freelance in an area of the business that I love - dynamic communication. This means combining databases, html front-end (and associated technologies) and my marketing skills. The core technology therefore is Dreamweeaver combining front-end design with back-end structure. Now I have lost that vital link.
At the same time as upgrading to CC I gained two very large pieces of work, one was to redesign and re-engineer an existing and quite complex intranet site that I developed and few years ago and another is to create a whole new database driven site. Now I am stuck as to where to go.
I have read alot about this issue and my understanding is that PHP have decided to remove the Mysql extension from PHP and replace it with the more secure mysqli or PDO_MySQL extensions. Fair enough, technologies move on, I can understand that. What I can't understand is Adobe's reluctance to keep their change in product from it's 'everyday' users like myself. We, the users, don't always keep up-to-date with these changes in technlogy. We have our heads firmly fixed on doing our jobs and earning an honest crust. We rely on the likes of Adobe to keep up-to-date with these changes and make the tools available for us to use without any interuption to our workflow.
Why therefore have Adobe not put a notice on the existing Server Behaviors, Bindings, Databases & Components stating that they recommend not to use these functions as they are being replaced, rather than simply removing them and leaving us with nothing. It's as if we had a rusty but usable shovel, Adobe comes along and takes takes the head of the shovel away and says we will give you something better to replace it with sometime in the future, but for now we just have to stab at the ground.
Is there an alternative way of working built into Dreamweaver CC or indeed any other Adobe CC product to help me achieve what I (and many others) want?
Is Adobe building in a new mysqli or PDO_MySQL functionality that will be similar to the Server Behaviors, Bindings, Databases & Components panels that we are used to?
When will this new functionality be available as an update?
Extension "Deprecated Panel Support v.1.0.0" doesn't work for me and I don't know why. I cannot connect to any of my existing MySQL databases and therefore further development or changes to existing sites comes to an abrupt halt.
All we want are some simple, clear answers, otherwise we will have to make some clear and simple commercial decisions as our livelyhood depends on it. Here's hoping...
Regards
Neil

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

hello,
Iam new to the spry framework

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.

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.

Macromedia Dreamweaver "Unidentified Error" PHP MySQL, help please

Ok,
I've been developing web applications with with PHP/MySQL for some time now, but had been unable to afford dreamweaver to help me out. Thus every website I made came from strait "notepad" style typeing. Everything always worked just fine. Recently though I got my hands on Macromedia Studio MX, but have been having troubles ever since then.
I wrote my own PHP script to connect to my MySQL database on my computer (localhost), and it worked like a charm. Then I went over to dreamweaver, followed all the steps, entered the information, clicked the "test" button and I get the an error "an unidentified error occured".
At this point I checked everything tried again, and then that rendered the same result, I went online and found the same problem at Macromedia's webstie: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16515
I've tried everything mentioned there to no avail. I was hopeing someone out there would know what is wrong with my connection. Quick summary:
Trying to connect with Dreamweaver to localhost MySQL database, with PHP MySQL settings. I get "an unidentified error occured". But the informaiton has been verified as correct with my own PHP script.

Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

Dreamweaver CS4 and PHP require_once, require, include_once, include absolute paths

I have a question about Dreamweaver CS4's new functionality that lists required and included files in a second row below the name of the file you are currently editing. It's handy.
I see that Dreamweaver attempts to list all the included files for a given page so that it is easier to find and edit those files.
For example. If I had a HTML document called index.html that linked to a CSS document called style.css, when I open index.html, Dreamweaver CS4 lists style.css in a row below index.html.
My problem is this. This new functionality works on absolute paths and relative paths for HTML elements. For example, it can find and link to CSS files regardless of if the src tag is relative or absolute (/css/style.css)
REFRESHER: absolute paths start with a "/" as in "/css/style.css" and relative paths do not start with a "/" as in "css/style.css" or "../../css/style.css"
However, PHP files that are linked to the current page via require, require_once, include, or include_once, only appear to work if you use a relative path.
So this would work in Dreamweaver:
require_once('../lib/config.php');
But this would not
require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
As any PHP developer knows, you are never supposed to use relative paths with included or required files. Especially if your site has multiple levels of sub directories. Relative paths are relative to the calling php document. It causes a bunch of problems. I can explain how if you want.
How can I tell Dreamweaver that the base directory on my apache web server for my domain...
/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/
... is the equivalent of the base directory on my home computer where dreamweaver accesses my files.
C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\
So that when I write...
require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
... how can I force dreamweaver understand that "/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/" is the same as "C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\" on my home computer. So that way, this new Dreamweaver CS4 submenu feature can find and link to the correct file.
Essentially, can I define Dreamweaver "include paths" for Dreamweaver to search in if the file I'm trying to include is not in the same directory?

Perhaps you ought to inform the PHP documentation team. All the examples in the PHP manual use relative paths.
Essentially, can I define Dreamweaver "include paths" for Dreamweaver to search in if the file I'm trying to include is not in the same directory?
Dreamweaver parses only relative paths in PHP includes. The Related Files feature was a new addition in Dreamweaver CS4, so it's not 100% perfect. Having the ability to define your own include_path for Dreamweaver to parse would be a useful improvement.

Dreamweaver CC and BUG MYSQL

Bonjour,
Souhaitant évoluer vers Ddreamweaver cc, j'ai téléchargé la version d'essais. Je m'aperçois que les extensions liaisons et comportements serveurs ne fonctionnent pas avec MYSQL sous WampServer. En effet, si je peux construire mes comportements serveurs sans problème, une erreur s'affiche lors du test dans le navigateur. MYSQL serait apparemment obsolète et il faudrait que je passe à MYSQLI ou PDO.
Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Salut,
Ces caractéristiques ont été dépréciés dans la la libération de 2013. Vous pouvez utiliser l'extension de DMXzone si vous avez encore besoin de ces fonctionnalités.

Dreamweaver, ColdFusion and Remote MySql

I've read through the forum and I found a thread but no
answer, well it seems someone posted somthing about the jconnector
has to not be a certain version.
I cannot get Dreamweaver MX 2004 to connect to my remote
mysql server. I have tried both the jconnector V5 AND just went and
tried JConnector 3.1.17 from www.mysql.com. The ColdFusion
Administrator Panel does connect to the database. I ever tested to
see if it was just a "it looks like it connects, but it doesn't" by
mistyping the password. When I do that, it gives an error message.
So I know coldfusion is connecting (and it did so on version 5.x
too). Now I set up my dreamweaver site using the ColdFusion Server
option. All my remote FTP's and URLS work (altered files remotely).
But then I goto the Application Panel>Databases
tab>database>table it pops up a "Datasource Login Screen" and
I tried both the username I setup for this database (which
according to ColdFusion Administrator says it's OK) and the root
user (which ColdFusion Accepted as a proper connecting username).
Neither worked!
I did look at this thread and it goes really no where:

PHP/Mysql issue

I use Dreamweaver CS3 to create my sites on a Windows/Apache
Server with PHP5 and Mysql 5. The site works perfectly on my
testing server at home. On the Web server I'm getting the following
error which causes the page to not load:
PHP Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid
MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 63
PHP Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a
valid MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 61
The lines in question are:
Line 61 - mysql_select_db($database_conn_phh, $conn_phh);
$query_getSuccess = "SELECT * FROM horses WHERE status =
'Success Story' ORDER BY horse_barn ASC";
$getSuccess = mysql_query($query_getSuccess, $conn_phh) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_getSuccess = mysql_fetch_assoc($getSuccess);
$totalRows_getSuccess = mysql_num_rows($getSuccess);
All of the code is supplied by Dreamweaver. I did not tweak
the code. I'm not a web developer and what I have found out there
is still reading greek to me. My connection file is working and
connecting the database that I have tested.
Since the above code is throughout the site in one form or
another it's causing me major headaches. Any help would be
appreciated.

This is the first time I've used Adobe products so if the
following is in the wrong forum (It's the closest one I found so
far) or the format is incorrect please forgive me.
I'm new to Dreamweaver CS3 and as I was reading the "first
steps" it mentions to set up a Dreamweaver site right away. I got
as far as completing "Site Definition" page under the basic side of
the setup screen.
The next screen is "Do you want to work with server
Technology?"
There are 2 options - Yes or No. If you select yes a
drop-down menu appears with several options (but you can only
select one)...
Asp Javascript
Asp VbScript
Asp.net#
Asp.net Vb
Cold Fusion
JSP
Php MySql.
I know nothing about these format and brand new to web design
so I thought it best to contact GoDaddy (my hosting account) to
find out what their servers would support. I spoke to a tech rep
but she wasn't sure.
She did mention that I have a windows hosting account and Php
MySql would not work unless I changed to their Linux platform at no
additional charge.
The site I have in mind will design with CSS, Liquid layout,
have some flash, widgets, an inquiry form that clients complete and
results e-mailed to me, auto-responder, Paypal link and whatever
else I can discover from Dreamweaver.
My question being:
I haven't even begun designing my site because I do not know
what weather I should select the Yes option and select one of the
formats mentioned above (if so which one) - or select the No
option. If I do select the No option at the very beginning, will I
have problems with my site uploading and working correctly?
Thank you

Highscore list using Flash and PHP

Hi,
I want to make a highscorelist using AS3 and PHP(MySQL).
I cant find a good tutorial on internet how to make something like that but I got this so far:
import fl.controls.TextInput;
import fl.controls.TextArea;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.name = "Wil";
variables.final = 2000;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
////insert in the location of the php script ////////////////
request.url = "http://www.justenter.nl/script.php";
request.data = variables;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request); //sends the request
//when the request is done loading, it goes to the completeWriting function
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeWriting);
function completeWriting(event:Event):void {
    var writingCompleted:TextField = new TextField;
    writingCompleted.autoSize = "center";
    writingCompleted.x =200;
    writingCompleted.y= 200;
    writingCompleted.text = event.target.data;
    addChild(writingCompleted);
He is sending the score and name to the database but he is doing that when i press ctrl-enter. He is sending the data I have given in:
variables.name = "Wil";
variables.final = 2000;
I want a input textfield and a button. And When I fill in my name in the input textfield he send it to the database when I press the button.
Is there someone that can help me out?
Tnx

Using MySql and PHP with Dreamweaver on a Mac

Hello all,
As always if the answers to these questions are obscenely
obvious please humour me.
I use XHTML and CSS in my websites and realise that it is
time that I dabbled with SSI. So I've started using PHP.
However, I have been following the installation directions of
MySql and am running into problems. I am installing the relavent
software and am then unable to find it on my Mac, the startup files
are there but the actual MySql data appears to not be installed
despite my computer telling me it is...... I am using a G3 running
OSX 10.4 is this good enough? I noticed talk of needing a PowerPC
or Intel mac. Is this the case?
Also, would I need MySql installed on my actual computer if
the my servers have it already? And does Dreamweaver 8 have both of
these programs installed as standard?
If you could help out I would be very appreciative as I would
like to learn this stuff and I appear to be struggling at the
outset....
Cheers
M.A

MySQL is a relational database management system that
comprises a
database server and several utility programs. Although you
install it
like any other program on a Mac, the similarity stops there.
First, the point about PowerPC and Intel Macs is that there
are
different versions of the MySQL installer for each type of
processor.
I'm pretty sure that a G3 is OK, but you must choose the
PowerPC version
of MySQL, not the 64-bit or x86 (Intel Mac) version.
Once you have installed MySQL, you need to drag the
MySQL.PrefPane icon
from the disk image onto your System Preferences. This
installs a
Preference Pane that enables you to start and stop MySQL. The
Preference
Pane has an option to start up MySQL automatically, but in my
experience, it doesn't work on Tiger. You need to open the
Preference
Pane, and click Start MySQL Server each time you start your
computer.
The best way to work with MySQL is to use a graphical
interface, such as
phpMyAdmin. As Osgood has mentioned, I have written a book
about PHP and
Dreamweaver, which goes into all the necessary details. It's
also very
Mac-friendly with separate instructions where necessary for
PC and Mac.

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.

CMS for Dreamweaver and PHP with MySQL

Hello
I am at a medium level with Dreamweaver MX and 8. I have
created a dynamic website running PHP and MySQL. The site sells
luxury yachts (resales). What I need is a simple, not too custom
code heavy content management system to allow the client to update
dynamic text areas and upload images via a web browser (IE7 PC).
The site needs the ability to input new boats, and delete sold
boats (flush out the database items).
Has anyone got a recommendation for some CMS software,
preferably Mac OSX PPC and running on a server under linux.
I don't mind buying it, in fact rather do that than risk
shareware going forward.

I have the exact same need. Looks like nobody had any
suggestions for the original poster. Perhaps someone can make a
recommendation this time? I too am looking for a commercial
product, rather than open-source.

Will there be future database support of mySQL and php 5.5 on the dreamweaver CC?

Will there be future support of mySQL and php 5.5 on the dreamweaver CC? I have seen various topics on this, and havent seen any answers on this as of yet. I feel it is very important to have this available, and not from some external company as an addon or something. I come from cs6 products, and am debating whether or not I should even join the creative cloud, or participate any further with Adobe products.
I have been a fan of Adobe for quite some time. However, if there isn't going to be any database tools within DW, I may decide to pass on the CC and comepletely hand code it all from now on.
Has anyone found yes or no answer to this yet? I am assuming there is no news yet, as the adobe posts I have read have no additional info other than they haven't updated the tools, thus removing them from CC.

I very much doubt that any future addition of DW will include any 'official' support for mySql database interactivity. CC hide the server behaviours this time around in an extention to be activated by the individual, its still available in CC but at the users own disgression, mySql is dead. You should be connecting and querying your databases using other methods like mySqli. Adobe have seen it fit to go in other directions and dispite the outcry of dropping the server behaviours there has been a deafening silence from Adobe. From that you can take it they think it is no longer an important part of their software package.

I have not updated to CC because it contains zero that would be of importance to my workflow. The more experienced a code writer you are the less DW has to offer. Any serious code writer would not miss DW if it went out of business. Fireworks is more important to me which LOL is going out of business...go figure. I think the Adone execs are screwed up snorting cocaine or something. I'm not really even sure why I use DW, maybe out of habit.
Certainly hand coding for database connectivity and querying is the ONLY way to go if you are not interested in third party extentions because continuing to use the current available server behaviours is a backwards step. I don't know how good these third party extentions are because there has never been a lot of talk about them around here which leads me to believe not many are considering them, maybe.

How to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP

Hi there,
I would like to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP in that the newsflash will be pulling information from a MySQL database. The newsflash should also have a link to view more information about the piece of news a user wants to know more about. Which tools do I need to use in dreamweaver and how's the procedure to go about that. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanx in advance!

I think you´ll need at least a MySQL table with the following columns:
- id (primary key, int, auto_increment etc)
- news_headline (varchar)
- news_teaser (text)
- news_content (text)
What I´d personally add are columns such as:
- news_date (date or datetime)
- news_external_link (varchar), if a "read more..." link is supposed to navigate to an external URL rather than displaying the contens of the "news_contents" column.
Based on such a MySQL table it should be easy to use Dreamweavers standard Server Behaviors to create the usual datalist.php, insert.php, update.php and delete.php documents, and there are numerous tutorials out there which will teach you how to do that.
Am I right when assuming that you´ll also need to know how to automatically pull, say, the 5 most recent news records from the database ?

PHP MySQL sites created by dreamweaver mx 2004 crash on safari

Hello,
The title says it all, but i will elaborate.
I develop PHP, MySQl driven database websites, I use
Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I work on a macintosh, using both safari
version 2 and 3.
i have noticed that whenever I post a database item (add,
edit to table) my safari hangs and I get a page cannot be displayed
error after 1 minute or so, even though the db function went
through.
Now, this only happens with safari and it only happens with
pages I build with dreamweaver, any hand coded websites I build do
not do this.
i have posted this on the apple website with no response, I
am hoping someone here can help me.

And I should give you my email address because...
Seriously, you want people to troubleshoot your site, create
a dummy
account that we can log in with.
