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.

Dreamweaver CS5, MySQL, PHP: Why are views listed under tables in the connection

Using Dreamweaver C5 against a remote server with MySQL and PHP, I notifce the views I defined in the database, are list under tables in the connection window, not under views. Probably doesn't really matter, but I was wondering if there is a way to influence this - keeping views listed separately from tables.

Hi
This has to do with the way MySQL stores the views in the database, (a similar problem occurs with procedures) in that they are stored as part of the entire database.
View on there own are not natively supported in dreamweaver.

Check in check out in Dreamweaver CS5 with php site

I created a new site for a client that has about 160 pages, three user login levels, site security, php, forms, . . . The client has a staff member who will make updates to pages with changing content but now wants access to the entire site so she can change wording on other pages as well - she's their new communications coordinator and it certainly makes sense to me. But I'm worry about giving her access to the entire site - I've since learned about check in and check out in Dreamweaver. Since I can't just throw pages in a directory for her to access via ftp (have set that up for one staff member creating gis maps), I'm wondering if this check in check out option is the better way to go for us.
She will use Dreamweaver, like me. Although we do not share the same office or have access to the same network. The only sharing we can do is on our hosting services server. Can I "check out" files I need her to leave alone and leave them that way? That way she'll have access to all of the primary content pages, not the scripts, css, includes, admin, js, bin, etc files. It should make life easier for her, too, I think.
What's common practice for this? And how does synchronization fit in?

This situation really needs a proper Content Management System (CMS): Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine all come to mind.
She's a content contributor, you're the system admin. She needs a bulletproof browser-based editing environment to do her thing without worrying about anything else.
Down the track, she'll probably want repeat content that she can control on different pages, content expiry, scheduled content, categories, tags, sidebars, headlines: all standard CMS features.
Using Dreamweaver and Check In/Check Out is just going to create one issue after another.
The current solution was probably adequate in the past but it's reaching the limits of its scalability. It's really time for a new solution.
Have you considered a CMS?

Note that this forum is for XE Beta, not EE.
Can you connect from some other client tool, such as sqlplus?
There's a {forum:id=178} forum that may be more suitable, if basic connectivity outside php works (i.e. issue is only php specific).

Find the hostname and service name of the database and use those values in the ORA_CON_DB constant.
Use 'lsnrctl status' on the database host to find the service name.
If you use a "tns" alias, you may need to create a tnsnames.ora file where PHP can access it.
Set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN (on Linux) to the directory containing the file.

Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP, not getting it to work with virtual Host

I have not got far with the book so far. I am still on the second chapter where you set the Virtual Host but after setting up the Dreamweaver site definition and doing the test. I get the error that page cannot be found.
I ask if I can mail the text file of the http.conf and the httpd-vhosts.conf to anyone to see if I screwed up somewhere . I am running on Windows 7 with the WAMP setup.

Mr. Powers,
I used your included file httpd-vhosts.conf. And it did something since now I get a new set of errors.
( ! ) Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
( ! ) Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/vhosts/phpcs5/lesson02/site_check.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0
But I checked the properties of the folders and unchecked the 'read only' permission but still gets checked again. I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
I checked on the web nobody says any solutions about it, they only imply that is a permissions issue.
I apologize, I found out the chapter files were encrypted... thanks

Question about reset password in lesson08 of David Powers (Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP)

I'm at the page 299 that found a problem in reset password. I managed to received email of link to reset password. In the reset password form, why no checking of password length entered or password unmatch with confirmed password input ? Instead it displays error message of 'Sorry, there was an error. Make sure you used the complete URL in the email you received. The URL can be used to change your password only once. If necessary...' The error message of 'Passwords don't match' or 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only' not processed.
Please help !
Thank You

I can see the 32 characters attached to URL and also I can see the 32 characters stored in database. It actually can reset the the password if entered within the requirement of 8-15. But when I entered less than 8, it does not show the error message of 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only'.
I noticed that $_SESSION['nomatch'] was assigned to True after the validation of 8-15 length. Below is the code for reference.
<?php
session_start();
$errors = array();
$success = FALSE;
$_SESSION['nomatch'] = TRUE;
require_once('library.php');
try {
if (isset($_GET['id']) && isset($_GET['token'])) {
          $id = $dbRead->quote($_GET['id']);
          $token = $dbRead->quote($_GET['token']);
          $sql = "SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE user_id = $id AND token = $token";
          $result = $dbRead->fetchRow($sql);
          if ($result) {
      $_SESSION['user_id'] = $_GET['id'];
            $_SESSION['token'] = $_GET['token'];
            $_SESSION['nomatch'] = FALSE;
if (isset($_POST['reset'])) {
          // password reset code goes here
          $val = new Zend_Validate();
          $val->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_StringLength(8,15));
          $val->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_Alnum());
          if (!$val->isValid($_POST['password'])) {
            $errors['password'] = 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only';
          $val = new Zend_Validate_Identical($_POST['password']);
          if (!$val->isValid($_POST['conf_password'])) {
            $errors['conf_password'] = "Passwords don't match";
          if (!$errors) {
            // update the password
            $data = array('password' => sha1($_POST['password']),
                          'token'    => NULL);
            $where['user_id = ?'] = $_SESSION['user_id'];
            $where['token = ?'] = $_SESSION['token'];
            $success = $dbWrite->update('users', $data, $where);
            unset($_SESSION['user_id']);
            unset($_SESSION['token']);
            unset($_SESSION['nomatch']);
} catch (Exception $e) {

IE does not run "refreshing the list of places" Lesson 12 Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP

Hi anyone else experience this. In lesson 12 everything works as it should until I add the code for refreshing the list of places as well as the list of photos. Live view works fine, Chrome, Dreamweaver and safari works as well. However IE 9 does not. If anyone can explain the cause of this I will be very grateful

I am sorry to see that you did not receive a reply. I'm having the same problem ... apparently the Adobe Extension Manager only sees the earlier versions of Dreamweaver, and so exits out of the installation.
If would be great to have the courtesy of a reply from Adobe regarding their extension manager.

CS5 with PHP - Lesson 7, Zend_Auth

Hi there.
Wondering if anyone can help shed some light on an issue I'm having that is based around the Login Script/Authentication in Lesson 7 of David Powers Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP book.
I've created a few simple CMS's with the help of the book and everything works fine.
For my next CMS however I would like to add different levels of access.
Currently I have 2 database tables - Admin and Client. I then created login scripts that go to different areas - Front end Client login, for example www.website.com/login.php when authenticated Client is taken to www.website.com/index.php. I then did the same thing but for an Admin - www.website.com/admin/login.php when authenticated Admin is taken to www.website.com/admin/index.php
This all works really well - I've used $identity to show welcome messages and the currently logged in user e.t.c.
The issue is that because both logins use very similar code there is no difference between an Admin and a Client. If a Client logs in to their account, they could then type in the admin URL and access all of the admin features.
To rectify this, is it a simple case of changing the storage variable? Currently I have the code identical to the book - if authentication is passed then $storage is used with getResultRowObject.
Is it a simple case of changing this (say for the admin script) to - $adminstorage = $auth->getStorage(); $adminstorage->write...........
Or will this just result in the same?
If anyone could point me in the right direction for setting up different levels of access using the Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable or whether I need to use something else it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Osgood
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I already have separate tables for Admin and Clients.
I think the problem is they are both calling the same Authentication adapter. Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable.
Ideally I need a kind of 'realm' which some of the other Auth Adapters have but I'm not sure how to use them.

MySql v.6 and Dreamweaver CS5

The Development Area DREAMWEAVER not take into
account the radical changes from version 6
MySql.
Have nullified various functions and connection profiles
The user has no access -in Dreamweaver- to rewrite the
syntax and void get_magic_quotes_gpc () no longer
forms part of MySql 6

Dear
David Power
Thansk for your time to attend the consultation
1.- I'm using Dreamweaver has always
     Currently I have version CS3.
     This in my immediate plans to migrate-urgent-CS5, and report one incident in connectivity between Dremweaver CS5 and 6 of MySql version
2.- We can generate a properly Mysql Connection:
     - Name conexion
     - MySql Server
     - Name user
     - Password
     - Select Data Base
     and Test SQL Stament is OK, pagination 25 list
3.- It creates a new Recordset, declare
     - Name
     - Connection
     - Table
     - Columns
     but ... when selectioned TEST, displays a message:
     An undentifed error has ocurred...
4.- in brief
      The Dreamweaver can successfully connect to MySql v.6, but ... NOT List any information
5.- Before reporting the incident:
     1 .- Buy a new PC
     2 .- Install a TRIAL version of Dreamweaver CS5
     3 .- try to connect to a MySql Server v.6
I reiterate my thanks for your kind attention to this incident.

DW CS5 with PHP - book question

Hello,
I'm working my way through the book "Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP" by David Powers and I've enountered something odd when it comes to code hints. On page 225, on step 3 I typed:
$dbWrite = new Zend
...And code hints pop up, but neither Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli nor Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mysql are among the choices offered. The closest I get is "Zend_Db".
I also tried typing "pdomy" like it says in the book, but still no cigar.
I finished writing the code and tested the script in step 5 and it works fine. I just don't understand why those classes are not included in the code hints.

Also, the same thing happened in step 5 when I tried to type $dbWrite->getConnection().
no code hints popped up at all.
