Dreamweaver CS3 with MySQL

I've created a stored proc in MySQL5.1 and can view and
execute it through MySQL. When I go to Dreamweaver CS3 and view my
existing database connection it doesn't detect the stored
procedure. I've tried starting and stopping the mysql and
coldfusion services but that didn't work. I've closed and opened
Dreamweaver. I've rebooted my machine but still no luck. I've
checked the coldfusion settings and I'm allowing stored procedures
on that connection. I have no idea what else to try. What do I need
to do to fix this?

I'm not sure about ColdFusion, but Dreamweaver doesn't
support MySQL
stored procedures with its PHP server model. MySQL added
support for
stored procedures only in version 5.0. Most of the database
related
functionality in Dreamweaver predates MySQL 5.0.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David Powers

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and
PHP by David Powers:
Would this book help me learn about Spry and Ajax and how
applications can be made with them, if I my e-commerce site runs on
a compiled C code shopping cart (ShopSite) but supports PHP
server-side scripts or is it only for shopping carts based on PHP
itself (like X-Cart)?
I am not sure. Someone please let me know so I can purchase
this book. Thanks.

You don't need any prior knowledge of Ajax or PHP, but you do
need to
know the basics of HTML and CSS. As I say in the
introduction, "You
don't need to be an expert, but you do need to have an
inquiring mind.
It doesn't teach the basics of web design, nor does it
attempt to list
every single feature in Dreamweaver CS3. There are plenty of
other books
to fill that gap. However, by working through this book,
you'll gain an
in-depth knowledge of the most important features of
Dreamweaver."

e-commerce sites, right?
The book provides detailed coverage of the Spry 1.4 features
in
Dreamweaver CS3, which can be applied to any site. With minor
adaptation, you can also use Spry 1.6. It's important to
realize,
though, that the Spry/Ajax features in Dreamweaver CS3 do
*not* cover
asynchronous requests to the server. The ability to
communicate
asynchronously with the server was added in Spry 1.6. If it's
asynchronous server calls and responses that you're after,
your
programmer will need to dig around in the Spry 1.6
documentation on the
Adobe Labs site, and hand-code it.
The Spry features covered in the book are Spry Effects, Spry
UI widgets
(menu, accordion, tabbed panels, and collapsible panels),
Spry
Validation Widgets, and Spry XML Data Sets.

Yes. All the Spry techniques can be used on any web page. It
doesn't
need to be a PHP one.

Installing Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows Xp Sp2

Hi, I'm having trouble installing the Dreamweaver CS3 trial
in my Windows XP SP2 machine.
I dont know if I have an adecuate processor, that seems to me
its the only one of the requirements I might not complete.
I have an AMD Athlon 2500+ processor with 1Gig of ram... the
last Dreamweaver runs smoothly.
Can someone tell me if this processor is P4 compatible, Xeon,
CoreDuo, etc. compatible.
If so, whats the problem with the installation, because it
begins but shuts down automatically.

Just like danglyfury said, it decompresses, then a progress

You guys aren't the only ones having problems. I'm having the
same exact problems myself. If you take a look at this forum
thread,
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.3bc3b755/57
they offer possible solutions for Photoshop CS3 - because the
installer is the same, the solution works for dreamweaver as well.
Unfortunately for me, I've tried all of their possible solutions,
no luck. It baffles me why Adobe would package all their new
software with such a buggy installer. Anyhow, if anyone has any
other suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Dreamweaver CS3 with existing Server Behaviours

Hi All,
Obviously i'm aware of the upcoming launch of Dreamweaver
CS3, which looks good, I'm currently using MX 2004 and considering
upgrading, however before i do so i have some queries.
We specialise in building ASP applications, which is why we
bought MX 2004 in the first place, as it included a number of
Server Behaviuors like login, go to detail page, recordset builders
etc, however as we found up, some of the key Server Behaviours,
like file upload and smartmail were not included.
Since then we've spent a lot of money buying extensions such
as WebAssist's SuperSuite and DMXZone's SmartMailor and
PureASPUpload to mention but a few.
Obviously keen to ensure before we purchase Dreamweaver CS3
that it is still aimed at developers and ccomes with Server
Behaviours but also that it still supports all of these extensions
and that we wouldn't therefore be losing the use of these very
usefull tools.
Thanks in advance

Dreamweaver CS3 most definitely supports server behaviors:
http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/features/allfeatures/
"Open server and technology support
"Support for leading technologies
"Take advantage of support for leading web development
technologies,
including HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, Ajax, PHP,
AdobeÂ®
ColdFusionÂ®, ASP, ASP.NET, and JSP."
AFAIK, all leading extension developers have been given the
opportunity
to test their extensions with the new version. To find out
whether the
particular commercial extensions you use are compatible with
CS3,
contact the developer directly.

Dreamweaver CS3 won't run with OS 10.9

How can I use Dreamweaver CS3 with OS 10.9?

You can't. Or at least, you shouldn't.
I'm pretty sure CS3 would require "Rosetta" which Mac OS X hasn't supported since Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)
It ran on some of the early Intel Macs, but you should be using CS4 or newer with Mavericks and a 64 bit Intel Mac.

ANN: Using Spry 1.6 with Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3

It has been brought to my attention that most of the example
files in
Chapters 19 and 20 of "The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3
with CSS,
Ajax, and PHP" don't work as expected after upgrading to Spry
1.6. This
is because Spry 1.6 handles HTML in CDATA sections
differently. The
solution is to add entityEncodeStrings:false to the options
passed to
the Spry XML Dataset. For details, see the book's updates
page at the
following address:

No Tables in DW CS3 Remote MySQL Connection

Hello All,
I was hoping forum members would be able to troubleshoot a
Dreamweaver CS3/remote MySQL Connection issue I'm having.
I am successful in connecting to the database but the table
data I created in phpMyAdmin 2.6.3 does not appear in the
Application/Databases menu in DW. Instead of the name of the table,
I get "none".
Since I am new to databases, any help is greatly appreciated.
I did view older posts before submitting this one but the advice
recommended (re-installing the entire MySQL application from
scratch) is not an option. Server is SunOS running PHP 4.4.7 and
MySQL 2.0.20. I'm on Windows XP. Thanks once again.

Was this issue resolved?
I have the same problem now. DW was working fine the one day and the next when I started it it had this connection problem.
I am testing on my local PC. My sites is at http://localhost/
All my connection are working because if I go to http://localhost/index.php I can see my site and if I go to http://localhost/register.php I can even register a new user. It will include the new user details in the data base and everything is working fine. So there is nothing wrong with the connection.
In DW I do have http://localhost/ on the Local Info screen. As I said, all was working fine on the current setup the one day and the next day it did not want to work.
Seems like a very common problem.
I want to buy CS4 and surely hope that the problem has been fixed by now.

Cyrillic characters in DW with MySQL

I'm trying to fix an issue with Cyrillic character.
They will not show on BOTH the website and MySQL Query in
phpMyAdmin. Either one or the other.
I have Dreamweaver CS3 with Apache 2.2 on my local computer,
PHP 5, MySQL 5 and am trying make my database with English and
Russian. I've changed all the collation to UTF8 and on Dreamweaver
the same. Dreamweaver has generated the PHP code for the database.
When I enter the Russian text dynamically with PHP in DW it
appears fine on the site, but can't be sorted and on MySQL it is
garbled (ex.
Ð²Ñ‹ÐµÑ‹Ð²ÐµÑ€Ñ‹Ð°Ð²
). When I enter Russian text in phpMyAdmin, it's okay there but on
the site there are only question marks (?????????) so that the text
is only visible in one place. The Cyrillic character 1251 set does
about the same, but doesn't even show the letters on the site.
I've looked up this subject for about two days and nothing
helps. Is this a Dreamweaver issue or is something else at fault?
I'm including the code of a simple sample page. Any help
would be appreciated.

Hi Yves,
I cannot find anything regarding this and i don't see a way to put that in there. I tried pasting it in my ACE and it didn't take it. I would suggest to open a TAC case for official confirmation.
Regards,
Kanwal

How to stop prompts in Dreamweaver CS3?

Hello,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows XP. I want to stop Dreamweaver from prompting me everytime I use the image hotspot feature. I have a ton of hotspots I need to place and I don't like the extra step of clicking that prompt off.
I have searched help, the forums and google with no results. Is this possible to stop this prompt?
Thanks,
Sharon

I want to stop Dreamweaver from prompting me everytime I use the image hotspot feature.
ALT attributes on images/hotspots are necessary for good web accessibility. Your code won't be valid without them.
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
If you don't care, go to Edit > Preferences > Accessibility, de-select images.

Dreamweaver Cs3 & Vista

I buyed a copy of Dreamweaver cs3 with OS Vista, but when I
try to load the program, since the first time I tried, it remains
on "Inizializiong Files", until I stop the process. What can I
do?

Maybe someone else can help you out with this because you are
going to need to do the following steps and I just don't know where
the log file is saved on the Windows side:
1. Get the log file that the installer makes
2. Come back to this website and click on Your Account at the
top of the screen.
3. Log in and click on Customer Support Portal
4. Open up a support ticket. When you do there should be a
way to upload a file to their FTP server for them to evaluate.
Follow their steps exactly and upload your log file (it would be a
good idea to rename your log file with at least your username).
Then once you have done that wait for a response. They will
be able to tell you exactly where the installer is failing by
looking at the logs. It normally takes about 1-3 business days for
them to respond though. It might not be as quick as a phone call,
but if they don't know where the problem is, it is best to give
them as much information as possible.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Access counter

When a person clics on your website, there is a way for your web page to had that persons query into a hit/counter so that you the web page owner knows how many people have looked at your site. I am new to the web page design, have been a photoshop fan for quite some time but am really having a hard time with Dreamweaver. I have two books; "Sams Teach Yourself - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 & The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, AJAX, and PHP". Neither of these two books can give me any direction on how to do what I want to do.
Thanks

Hit counters don't tell you much about your traffic.
If your server hosting company doesn't offer you web stats as part of their hosting package, go ahead and sign up for Google Analytics. It's free and the information it provides about your site visitors is much more comprehensive and valuable than hits alone.
You'll learn which keywords drive traffic to your site, which URLS people come from. Which browsers and operating systems they use, etc... ++++

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.
