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.

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".

Adobe DW CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP Training book - problem.

Hi
I have been creating a site and using the DW CS3 'Training
from the Source' book by Jeffrey Bardzell and Bob Flynn as the
tutorial text.
Basically - I have an .asp form that collects data into
fields, which are validated using the DW validate form funstions,
then passes the data to another .asp page that emails the data to
me.
All works well for me and for a lot of people I have used to
test the site....
BUT
I am getting some people whose data is obviously NOT being
captured or passed - as teh Emails are blank. I can't ask them what
browsers they are using - as their Email address should be in the
Data !!
I did try the form with the Javascript Disabled in my browser
- and the validation then failed to work - but the data still did
get sent.
1. If Javascript is disabled - how can I get the validation
to work?
2. Is there any other reason that my data may be getting lost
Thanks in Advance
Phil

PhilAJ,
quote:
Surely if DW is creating this then it should aways work ?
It would be nice, wouldn't it? ;-)
There are two basic types of validation - client-side and
server-side.
Client-side validation uses JavaScript, in this case the code
that DW generates, but you are dependent on the user's browser
settings. It happens on the user's machine before anything is sent
back across the Internet to your web server. If they want to turn
off JS, they can.
Server-side validation takes place on the server with the
data sent from the user. webpro2k has provided you with a nice bit
of code to test whether those fields come in blank. If they do, you
can decide what to do with the user's interaction. Instead of the
Thank You page, or wherever you may have sent them after a
successful submission, you could send them back to the form
indicating the fields they neglected to fill out and pre-populating
those they already filled out with the data from the first
submission.
Best practice is to do both client-side (in theory it reduces
user frustration if done right.) and server side (to ensure clean
data). It takes a little extra work. You know your audience and
your needs, so you can do the cost/benefit analysis.

Bob

Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, ColdFusion and PHP Downloads

Hi,
I wondered if anyone new if there is anywhere to download the accompanying files (off the CDROM)? I can't find anywhere on the Adobe site where you can.
I purchased the book from Oxfam Bookstore and the CD is snapped in two pieces but I'd obviously like to follow the tutorials.
Thanks

That's quite an old book, so I don't know if there's still any support for it. I wrote the most recent version: "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source". The files for my book are not freely available for download, so I suspect the same is true of the Dreamweaver 8 version.
According to the publisher's website, you can request a replacement CD from [email protected] However, I wouldn't hold out much hope of getting a replacement for an old book that was bought from a charity shop. Sorry.

Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP

I'm having trouble with diplaying multiple recordsets. I did
everything that the book told me to do, but it doesn't work. I just
got done with the tours.asp and it works fine. Now I'm working on
the index.asp. rs_journal comes up fine, but when I add the
rs_worldregions, the page won't come up. I even uploaded the
finished sample of index.asp that came with the book and that
didn't work.

Slight roadblock in "DW 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP: Training from the Source"

I'm working my way through Dreamweaver 8 with ASP,
ColdFusion, and PHP:
Training from the Source. I've come to the middle of Lesson 6
and have hit
my first obstacle in learning PHP. I'm following the
instructions to format
the output of the tour price calculator, but my issue is with
where to place
the following PHP code: <?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY,
'en_US'); echo
money_format('%i', $tourPrice); ?>
I placed it before the DOCTYPE and when that didn't work, I
tried inserting
right before the code that retrieves the tour price (in the
body of the
page). That didn't work either.
I also tried changing money_format to number_format and
manually inserting
the $, but when I tested everything, the output printed as
follows:
The estimated cost of your tour is
$0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000500.
I'm not quite sure where I've gone wrong.
Thanks for any help,
Heather

I've no idea what relationship you have with "Training from

but I find it interesting - to say the least - that you need

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

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and

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."

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.

DW MX 2004 with asp, coldfusion, and php lesson 1

Started Jeffrey Bardzell's book, and sorry, I think I can
struggle through it even though I know little about html. In the
very first lesson I am already stumped. I am hoping there is a
simple setting that needs to be changed. In pasting text from the
contact document into the contact page, DW is supposed to
automatically enter the paragraph and line breaks, according to the
book. Mine doesnt. I have tried numerous times and the
pre-formatted text pastes in and becomes one big running paragraph.
What am I doing wrong?

Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, Coldfusion, & PHP

I am new to php and I am trying to work thru Dreamweaver 8
with ASP, Coldfusion and PHP Training from the Source. I have a
real simple form. A user enters their first and last name then
clicks the submit button. The form is then processed with a script
using $_GET[first_name]; $_GET[last_name]; and it should display
"Thank you, first_name last_name, for using my form." But the page
show the html with a Notice: Undefined index: first_name in
C:\htdocs\newland\test_form_processor.php on line 9. Line nine is -
Thank you, <?php echo $_GET['first_name']; ?>
<?php echo $_GET['last_name']; ?>, for filling out my
form.. This was accomplished using the binding panel in
DW. There is not any kind of trouble shooting in the book. Can
someone tell me what this means? It worked like it is supposed to
work when I had just the first name.

It means that the first_name variable isn't being passed from
the form.
PHP is case-sensitive. Your form needs to look something like
this:
<form name="form1" id="form1" method="get"
action="test_form_processor.php">
First name: <input type="text" name="first_name"
id="first_name" />
Last name: <input type="text" name="last_name"
id="last_name" />
<input type="submit" name="submit1" id="submit1"
value="Send" />
</form>

OK, so forget about CS3. Without a valid serial number, you cannot activate the trial version and Adobe no longer sells CS3.
Any reason you're specifically trying to obtain CS3?
You can purchase CS6 for a one time fee

Dreamweaver crashes with ASP

I am unable to edit any ASP files in Dreamweaver (CS3 and 8).
Whenever I select anything, code or objects, the program hangs.
This does not only happen on my computer but on other people's
computers as well. If the file extension is changed to .aspx or
.php then it behaves normally but if it has the extension .asp it
crashes.
This seems related to the previously mentioned problem
"Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after Daylight Savings Time ends" because
it just started this week. Before that editing .asp files was fine.
However, the solution offered for the daylight savings time bug
(delete the WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file from the Dreamweaver
user configuration folder) does not solve this problem.
Can anyone throw some light on this?

This bug nearly drove me crazy (and to Expression Web). It
might not be your
issue, but it very well might :-)
