Mysql, PHP, and Dreamweaver

Hi!
I am struggling with the mysql connection problem with
Dreamweaver 8.02 on the mac. I downloaded the trial version of both
the Windows and the Mac of Dreamweaver. On the Windows side, I can
put all my information in and it connects to the database fine.
However, if I duplicate every single entry for the server
information on the Windows side to the Mac side, I get the never
ending problematic "404 File Not Found" error message and
"unidentified error" message that keeps popping up.
Even furthermore, after checking the web server logs, when I
test the mysql connection on the Windows end, I see a post on the
web server. When I check it from the mac end, I see nothing on the
web server.
I have used Dreamweaver in the past on the mac side, and I
have always struggled with getting this to work. Why am I having so
many problems with it and how can I resolve them?
Thanks in advance...

This is probably a result of the testing server definition on
your Mac.
The normal location for dynamic sites on a Mac is in the
Sites folder of
your home folder. The URL prefix for this translates to this:
http://localhost/~username/
Not
http://localhost/ as on Windows.

Apache/MySQL/PHP and Mountain Lion

I was about to buy Mountain Lion, but I just read by a reviewer that there is an issue with the webserver or websharing capabilities of it. The reviewer was saying he/she had to go into the terminal and launch it from there!
Is anybody else having issues with developing database driven sites on Mountain Lion, or are you getting on OK with it?
I currently use xammp as my apache/mysql/php server. Is anybody on Mountain Lion using xammp, if not, what equivalent are you using?
Thanks.

Starting Apache is very easy. Simply type the following into a terminal:
sudo apachectl start
I think that they removed the tick box because it's so easy to do from terminal, and not something that most OSX users need.
As SnakEyez02 mentioned, using a package like MAMP or XAMPP doesn't require this. Those apps run their own Apache

MySQL php and CHARACTER SET error

Still very new to php and MySQL, in fact this is my first
site using it.
I have got an issue with displaying characters, namely the
£ sing, all I get is an ? displayed.
I have been told to use, utf8 in the database field but this
has not helped cure the problem.
I'm building the site in DW CS3 and it's all running off my
Mac using OS X 10.5.1 and the built in php client.
Could anyone show me the right way to go?

Ok I think my IQ is falling me, it's been a long week.

Is the first line of code on the test page I have got

MySQL databases and dreamweaver

Please, somebody help me!!
I am on a Mac. I have my site up but can't use it because of
the database issues I am having.
1. I don't write code - hence my purchase of Dreamweaver
2. My host will not allow me to connect to MySQL
(server-side) and suggested I try an SSH. I got Navicat.
It seems I need to connect to the database through
Dreamweaver in order to create my PHP pages. I don't know how to do
it or if it is possible using an SSH (Navicat)
Also I don't understand the whole "test server" thing. It was
suggested I connect my Mac to a Windows machine to create a testing
server. Is this really necessary? I have an external hard drive
with tons of space. Can I use that? Are there any other options? I
don't know a single Mac user who has a spare windows machine lying
around.
My site is ready to go but useless unless I can this
database-access problem solved. I need to create PHP pages but
cannot do it without some sort of access to my database.
Please HELP!!!

See if this helps:

PHP and Dreamweaver Spry Menu

I have been searching for help with this - I have been getting an "internal error" message when I submit the form. I was having an issue with it working but not receiving anything... so I changed the php code and now it's taking me to an error page. Need this fixed soon.... I just went to a networking meeting... please help.
I've been reading other people's posts and I just don't know enough about php to know what to change. I know how to write HTML/XHTML and CSS but with the form, obviously that's going to be harder.
I've pasted both pages below - if anyone can take a look and let me know. Thank you!

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.

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).

research and tutorials about how to get a dynamic web site working
with PHP and Mysql in Dreamweaver. I set up a test page to view
some content on it directly from the mysql database and it worked
just fine in dreamweaver only when I pressed the
live data view.
When I tried to view the same page using the browser preview
with firefox and internet explorer, plain text from the database
was correctly displayed on the brower but the images were absent.
In the mysql database I used the varchar as my picture data
type field so that I will refer in dreamweaver in the data binding
panel in the img.src to the picture column of my database.
I anyone can tell me what am I doing wrong so that my
pictures are not displayed in the browser when i click the browser
preview facility in dreamweaver I would be very very and very
pleased ! :)

The odds are that it is the way that you have referenced the
images rather
than an issue with the database. If you have the images root
relative like
this "/images" then they will work in preview, and on the
webserver, but
will not view when looking at the file via localhost.
If possible make the links page relative and then they should
work fine.

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) application to a page in a Muse site?

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) (Cartweaver 4) application to a page in a Muse site? Do I have to export the Muse site as Html to dreamweaver and them use the extension to bring the shooping cart in or can I do it directly in Muse?

We have experimented with doing this with some good success. We have been working on adding Cartweaver to a Facebook page by essentially adding a Cartweaver store to Facebook in an iframe. The "store" would be pages with just your basic product display, cart, and checkout functionality, with none of the "window dressing" - just use CSS to match the color and general look of the design it's being added to.
The one problem with this for Facebook is when it comes time to check out toy have to leave Facebook and go to your server where an SSL is in place. Fortunately in this situation this would not be the case, you can have an SSL installed to the root of your site and you'll be okay.
This is an interesting project. Give this a try and let me know how it goes and if you run into any snags, please make a post on the Cartweaver forums: http://forums.cartweaver.com - I'm really confident that this can work, and not only work, but work well.
Looking forward to hearing how this goes, and being of what help we can.

How can I include a MySQL table and records with the PUT of my Dreamweaver site?

I am using .php to validate a user code against one of four codes that I am providing to potential clients. They enter that code, along with a default user id and the appropriate page is then displayed for them. Everything is working fine on the desktop. I need to have this table and the records created on my remote server. I tried saving the table in the Connections folder, but that didn't help. Everytime I enter a code (valid or invalid) on the live site, I get the following message: "Table 'boundsauctions_com.promocode' doesn't exist". Is there someway to include the table and records in my Dreamweaver folders for the site?
Thanks for any help that you can offer.

You can't. Dreamweaver, or FTP for that matter has no connection to the MySQL database. If you have created a MySQL database locally and now wish to move/copy it to your server you'll need to create a back up of your local database and then log into your database on the server and then restore that back up.
An even easier way to do this, and if you are working with MySQL much at all a good investement is to get the commercial version of Navicat MySQL - this is the best MySQL administrator I've found to date and is well worth the few bucks to buy it. With Navicat you can connect to your local MySQL database and also create a connection to your remote database, then literally drag and drop your local database contents to copy them to your server. This function alone justifies buying Navicat. A huge time saver. And no I do not work for or have any share or ties to Navicat. I'd recommend something else if I knew of anything better, but so far I don't.
Hope this helps. If you need any more details let me know.

Set a max Upload quantity dreamwaver php and mysql

The issue,
using dreamweaver php and mysql I Would like to set a max
quantity limit on file upload per user. i.e max 5 uploaded images
allowed per user.
Here is a basic example of the creation. Just need the
implementation of how to set a max upoad limit.
create table authors(
id int not null auto increment primary key,
name varchar(10) not null
image_quantity tinyint(1),
create table images(
aid int not null,
image_filename varchar(50),
foreign key (aid) references authors(id)
User id 1 would upload a file into the table images from a
php or html webpage. i.e set values "thomas.jpeg", "1"
i want to set a max upload of 5 images per user. (a folder
for each user id will be created and photos stored in that).
I could add a field of max_upload tinyint(1) to the table
users and construct a php script that could add the amount of
images entered by a user into the images table and add a +1 to each
added. Problem is i dont know how to create that script or mysql
querty in order to enter into a recorset for example.
As anyone have any ideas of the best way to set a max
quantity limit of uploads.
Thank you.

PHP, MySQL, Breadcrumbs and URL Parameters

I'm working with several InterAKT extensions to buid a
dynamic site. I have everything working except for Breadcrumbs --
which are actually working except that I need to change the URL
parameter which they are passing WITHOUT altering the recordset
(which breaks the functionality).
The site is constructed to include friendly URLS, so although
all pages are loaded by PK of their category, I've used CONCAT()
and REPLACE() along with Server-Side Includes from my Table (SSI
from InterAKT) to generate my URLS.
Example:
category_ctg TABLE
id_ctg name_ctg
1 Jelly Beans
2 Vanilla Nut Crunch Bar
etc.
For my dynamic menus and my hyperlinks, I pull from the db
like this:
SELECT *, CONCAT(REPLACE(name_ctg, ' ', '-'), '?id_ctg=',
id_ctg) AS newurl FROM category_ctg
This gives me a URL of
index.php/Vanilla-Nut-Crunch-Bar?id_ctg=2
(I also pull from the name_ctg field for my page titles and menu
names, etc., without the CONCAT() so they read without the '-')
But, with MX Breadcrumbs I'm limited to the way the php is
hard-coded in terms of which fields are included: (id_ctg,
id_parent_ctg and name_ctg) because the breadcrumbs are generated
from a recordset.inc.php file.
I can succesfully use the Breadcrumbs "out-of-the-box" and
end up with this URL:
index.php?id_ctg=2
My code for above looks like this:
<?php if ($totalRows_Breadcrumbs > 0) { // Show if
recordset not empty ?>
> <a href="index.php?id_ctg=<?php echo
$row_Breadcrumbs['id_ctg']; ?>"><?php echo
$row_Breadcrumbs['name_ctg']; ?></a>
<?php } // Show if recordset not empty ?>
and while it works, it's loading a different URL than all my
other menus and links.
Alternatively, I can include the catgeory_ctg.name_ctg
dynamic binding like this:
<?php do { ?>
<?php if ($totalRows_Breadcrumbs > 0) { // Show if
recordset not empty ?>
> <a href="<?php echo
$row_Breadcrumbs['name_ctg']; ?>?id_ctg=<?php echo
$row_Breadcrumbs['id_ctg']; ?>"><?php echo
$row_Breadcrumbs['name_ctg']; ?></a>
<?php } // Show if recordset not empty ?>
<?php } while ($row_Breadcrumbs =
mysql_fetch_assoc($Breadcrumbs)); ?>
which gives me a URL of:
index.php/Vanilla%20Nut%20Crunch%20Bar?id_ctg=9
Since I can't use CONCAT() value within my script and I can't
have "%20" in my URLs, I'm trying to find a way of turning my URL
into:
index.php/Vanilla-Nut-Crunch-Bar?id_ctg=2
Is there a way to include the CONCAT() function in the PHP
script that's generating the URL?
I've tried using variables in the header to call for a
consistent URL, without any luck.
Please keep in mind that my strong suit is design and that my
working knowledge of PHP and MySQL are limited to what I can
understand and re-create. I've been pulling out my hair for days on
this, so some guidance would be
greatly appreciated.

The code generated by the Dreamweaver recordset navigation bar automatically adds any existing variables to the end of the query string. The following code (just above the DOCTYPE) comes from a recordset navigation bar on one of my pages:
$queryString_listAuthors = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$newParams = array();
foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_listAuthors") == false &&
        stristr($param, "totalRows_listAuthors") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_listAuthors = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
$queryString_listAuthors = sprintf("&totalRows_listAuthors=%d%s", $totalRows_listAuthors, $queryString_listAuthors);
I haven't tested this, but to eliminate the extra variables in the query string, comment out the whole of the if statement like this:
$queryString_listAuthors = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$newParams = array();
foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_listAuthors") == false &&
        stristr($param, "totalRows_listAuthors") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_listAuthors = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
$queryString_listAuthors = sprintf("&totalRows_listAuthors=%d%s", $totalRows_listAuthors, $queryString_listAuthors);
You will need to do that for each of your recordset navigation bars.

Problems with PHP and MySQLi server behaviors

Hi,
I'm a graphic and Web-designer with some knowledge of PHP and MySQL and I've been using Dreaweaver since very early ages in creating dynamic web projects and use the Bindings and Server behaviors quite a lot. But recently PHP has deprecated MySQL_connect since 2012 and it seems Dreamweaver isnt suporting the alternative MYSQLi server behaviors which will be the future of accessing Databases in MySQL along side with other options. Without this feature Dreamweaver is not of any use to us web-designers, since there are many Free great Editing software out there... Is the Dreamweaver team solving this problem? Or are you really planning on dropping this software? I've been using CS5.5 for a while and was planning on updating but this is a key feature and without it its not worth the investment.
Kind regards.
Eddy

There are no plans that I know of to introduce a new set of mysqli server behaviours into DW from Adobe. They have left that to thrid party developers to bring out extensions which replace them.
What the server behaviours could do was very limiting anyway so I suspect any replacement mysqli behaviours would also be very limiting. I personally jumped into thre code and started to write my own mysqli connection files and query strings by watching a few simple tutorials on youtube - it isnt that difficult.
Look for 'php academy' on youtube - they have about 9 simple to follow tutorials on getting started with mysqli.
