Dreamweaver CS5 PHP 5.3 support.

Hi,
Anyone know where I can get more details about:
The currently supported PHP version in Dreamweaver CS5.
The status of support for PHP 5.3 (if it's coming, when, or are there plugins.)
I very much like the new features in the CS5 version, but I need PHP 5.3 support, too.
Thank you for your help,
Adam

Dreamweaver supports any version of PHP. However, Dreamweaver's code hints support only PHP 5.2. If you want the support to be upgraded, submit a feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Dreamweaver CS5 PHP and MS SQL

Does Dreamweaver CS5 support using PHP with MS SQL?

Hi
This works with both the SQL Server 2008 Developers edition and the SQL server 2008 Express edition.
The first thing to ensure is that you have the mssql client for the mssql database installed, (also known as the SQL Server management studio), then go here and download the server driver for php - http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com/, I would recommend the release candidate as this support php 5.2 and 5.3, (it is named as "SQL server driver for php 2") yes the name is misleading!
Unpack the file into a temp, directory, then copy the files required to your php extensions directory, (the two files required will depend on your version of php, check the documentation) you do not have to use the pdo file if you are happy creating your own standard sql statements, but doing so will mean that the pdo extension must also be installed for php.
For php 5.2 you would then add the following to your php ini file, (in the extensions section) -
[PHP_MSSQL]
extension=php_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
[PHP_PDO_MSSQL]
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
If using pdo ensure the following is also included -
[PHP_PDO]
extension=php_pdo.dll
Restart your server.
O/k, that's the easy part, now to check the installation. For this I installed the "AdventureWorks" database, which you can get here - http://sqlserversamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/45923.
Use the SQL management studio to check the database installed correctly, (while you are there make a note of your server name, and user name and password if not using your windows authentication).
Now to see if the installation is correct/
Open dreamweaver and create a new, (blank) php page, replace all the code, (all the html code) with the following, (the examples give in the help files by Microsoft are wrong) -
The section I have highlighted in red, change this to match your sql server name.
<?php
try {
   $conn = new PDO( "sqlsrv:Server=PAULAS-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Database=AdventureWorks", NULL, NULL);
   $conn->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );}
catch( PDOException $e ) {
   die( "Error connecting to SQL Server" );
echo "Connected to SQL Server\n";
$query = 'select * from Person.ContactType';
$stmt = $conn->query( $query );
while ( $row = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ) ){
   print_r( $row );
?>
The NULL and NULL in the connection string, ($conn = new PDO...) indicates that you are using the windows authentication, if not replace these with your user name and password respectively.
Save the page and select 'live view', the first four words should say "Connected to SQL server".
As I said, I am currently working on including the MSsql connection as part of my "php/mysql pdo extension", which is very 'rough code' at the moment and the items are not fully compatible with how dreamweaver normally works, which means I am using mysql for some development, (creating the basic recordsets etc.) and then pasting/modifying the code into the mssql pages for testing.
If your interested, the extension can be downloaded here - http://www.pziecina.com/design/dreamweaver/pdo_extension.php, the log-in/out etc are done but not included yet.
Let me know how you get on with this, and if you have any problems.

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Hi,
Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
My answers under yours below
Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

Dreamweaver CS5 PHP Frameworks

Hi,
I am using CakePHP and I would love to be able to work directly in Dreamweaver. Is this possible at all? I have already modified both Extensions.txt files and the MMDocumentTypes.xml file to treat the .ctp files as .php files. I can now open .ctp files in Dreamweaver but as soon as it detects that documents are dynamically-related, design view is disabled. It does however somehow recognize some of the .js and .css files related to a particular view file. I know this works for WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, is there a way to customize this functionality for any of the php-based MVC frameworks?
Thanks so much,
Jesse

DreamWeaver CS5, PHP and DB2 Connections

Hi,
I have been playing around with a XAMPP server, a mySQL database and DW CS5. This all works great and DW is a great assistant compiling the necessary PHP code so I dont have to worry about all that.
I do have a number of DB2 database I would like to attach to and there is nothing untuitive in DW allowing me to connect to DB2 databases. Has anyone seen any useful examples here
All my Apache and DB2 server are running on Linux hence Windows samples will not be that useful to me.
ThnX in advance for any hints.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Mobile Apps with PHP and MYSQL?

Hello,
I don't have Dreamweaver CS5.5 yet and I've been trying to search for information on this but I couldn't find any. I've been learning PHP and been developing with MYSQL with Dreamweaver CS5 but I wanted to know if I can use the same tags and everything if I would to build a Mobile App using the new Dreamweaver CS5.5 (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs-55-web-premium-feature-tour-/dreamweaver-cs-55-jquery-mobile- pages/). I overlooked at the video and it seems pretty easy building an app. So is PHP and MYSQL easily integratable? Are there any examples that I might be able to check out?
Thanks!

No. PHP is a server-side scripting language that requires a server (or server-like environment) to run.
An iPhone (or Android) application does not allow for a "built-in" server (which is resource intensive and has scary security implications). You just can't build an application with PHP/MySQL for a mobile device. Instead you can build a web service that your HTML/JavaScript mobile application can then communicate with. This is the only supported way you can use PHP/MySQL in a mobile app. Again: the PHP/MySQL should reside on a server and your HTML/JS mobile app can then communicate with that web service. That's what instapaper and other applications do.
Frankly, just make a web application that's mobile device friendly and you'll:
1) Avoid all the messiness of the app stores
2) Have greater control over what your web app can do (don't have to tow the Apple/Google line)
3) Have a web app that can work across mulitple mobile devices as well as standard web browsers (i.e. more audience = more $).
4) Future proof your application (pushing updates to your server and everyone using your web app is updated)
Otherwise, read-up on Adobe AIR and what it supports and remember, the best apps are written natively for the platform (i.e. want to write an app for an iPhone? Learn Objective-C and use xCode on a Mac. Want to write an app for Motorola Xoom? Learn the Android SDK and use inteliJ).

Create ecommerce sites with DW (was:About Dreamweaver CS5.5 Version support)

Can I make an e-commerce with Dreamweaver CS5.5 version?
Please let me inform the related resource support.
Thank you.

E-commerce is a very large topic that requires much experience with web security, databases and processing credit cards safely. If you are not an expert programmer, you might be much better off using a 3rd party shopping cart system that is both secure & PCI compliant such as Shopify or UltraCart.

Dreamweaver CS5 using PHP to connect to Postgres

Started learning Dreamweaver using PHP to connect to mySql and dynamically load data into a table on my web page. Dreamweaver worked great as I didn't have to enter any PHP. Now trying to use PHP to connect to a Postgres DB. Does Dreamweaver CS5 support PHP connection to Postgres like it did mySql? Or do I need to enter the PHP commands to connect and access the Postgres myself rather than rely on Dreamweaver (which I did for mySql)?

PHP/Postgres is not a supported server model in DW. You'll need to code by hand, or try to find an extension. Try posting over at the Postgressql forums.

No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:
http://blog.urbaninsight.com/2012/04/12/ten-reasons-you-should-be-using-css-preprocessor
There are those who are not sold:

There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):
http://cognition.happycog.com/article/preprocess-this
Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
But not for me.
There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me

Does Dreamweaver CS5.5 support in-app purchases for mobile apps?

I am starting to take a look at developing a mobile app for my business and Dreamweaver CS5.5 looks like the platform I am going to use. My question is this: do apps built this way have support for in-app purchases?
Thanks.

If you are asking can you develop it I don't see why not. Just refer to the documentation from the appropriate Marketplace for details on setting up in-app purchasing restrictions and requirements. If you are asking if there is a built-in function to make an easy "in-app purchase button" I would lean towards the No on this answer because I don't believe that is in DW.

FIXED!!
1)
i finally did get the message problem was with:
$mailhost='ssl://mail.domain.com';
ssl:// was just nonsense and been removed
2)
'auth' => 'true' was changed to 'auth' => 'login'
3)
for bluehost i got information that it was tls secure connection protocol not ssl
'ssl' => 'tls'
4)
port used '25' not 465.
Didnt still tried 26 and 465 maybe they would work too.

Dreamweaver CS5 is not Supported on This Type of Mac

I recently got a new iMac and went to reinstal my CS5 Web Premium Student Edition and only installed Dreamweaver. I was able to use it yesterday fine. Today when I booted up. the dreamweaver icon has a anti symbol over it and says "you can't open the application "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5" because it is not supported on this type of mac."
What went wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? Thanks!

I am running OSx 10.9 and I do not see anything about Roseta or Intel when viewing the info about the app. After I used DW yesterday fine, I ran the auto updates from within DW and perhaps when I rebooted this morning is when it broke. I just now uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled DW (I'm not using the other apps). It has updates to do but scared..
It wants to update the following:
Adobe Device Central CS
Adove Dreamweaver
- Adobe player
- CS Live Service
- Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 updater
- Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 update
I haven't tried yet to update because either that or some other stange thing happened. I've never seen an app with an anti symbol over it.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 template PHP file path bug

I have a template that I am using for my website, it is a PHP template and for some reason whenever I have some links within the PHP code blocks that include other .php files. My code is:
<?php
//Code In template
include('../scripts/MySqlConnection.php');
include('../scripts/login.php');
?>
The code is just including some files, but when I update all the pages that use this Template they dont put the right links on them, like so:
<?php
//Code That Appears On Child Page
include('scripts/MySqlConnection.php');
include('../scripts/login.php');
?>
For some reason the first link is correct since this document is in the root of the site instead of in the Templates folder like my template is, but the second "include" statement has the wrong link inside of it. Even if I switch them around its always the very first include statement that is correct and the 2nd is always wrong.
Also the links are all relative to the document and not site root in the "Manage Sites..." dialog.
Is there anyway to fix this? I heard that this was a quirk/bug in Dreamweaver 8 or something but is it still not fixed in this version?
Thanks

Yes I guess that I am gonna have to use one of those solutions, but it still is weird that this is happening within the code though. I found one thread where the solution was to put the include tags into a seperate PHP block like this:
//Template
<?php include('../scripts/MySqlConnection.php'); ?>
<?php include('../scripts/login.php'); ?>
And it actually outputted the correct links on the child page which is really weird but this was from like Dreamweaver 8 or MX or something because the thread was from like 2007 which is weird that they hadn't fixed this bug yet considering its 2012 and Dreamweaver CS5.5 still has the bug.

I need to know how to apply the insert recorset server behavior in dreamweaver cs5 so I can get it to run.
I have been trying diff ways and i just can't get it right.
Please help! Thanks!!!

I'm not sure how much you know but first you have to connect your form to the database
$con = mysql_connect("hostname","admin_name","password");
Then you have to choose the database you want information be added to.
mysql_select_db("database name goes here", $con);
Then you have to write an sql function which will write it in the appropiate columns in your database
$sql="INSERT INTO what column e.g members (First name, Last name, age, etc)
VALUES (the names of the textfields on your form), actually double check that part
('$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[age]')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
This is the first and most basic part just to give you an idea how it works.
Within these snippets you will have to write much more which will beef up the security aswell as check if everything has been entered correctly etc
