PHP/MySQL Help Needed

I'm a beginner with this PHP/MySQL language, but I'm using
Dreamweaver CS3 to help things along. I've set up my database with
my host (using PHPmyAdmin) and put in a table with some fields.
Then I went into Dreamweaver and set up everything and it saw the
database name perfectly. Then I made a recordset and it saw the
fields just fine. I then made an input page to put the data into
the database and that went off without a hitch. I then made a basic
webpage with nothing but the call to display 2 of the fields in my
database (I did the test in dreamweaver and it saw all the data I
populated my database with perfectly). I then told it to preview in
Firefox and got a blank page... Ok I must have done something
wrong, so I put in some basic text just so I could see if even that
would show up correctly. Then I previewed in Firefox again and not
only did it show up, but the 2 fields showed up as well! Yea! So I
made some changes to the fields I wanted to show and again did a
Preview in Firefox. I was again treated to a blank page. Not even
my basic text was showing up. I went back to Dreamweaver and added
some more text... preview... works perfectly showing everything. I
refresh the page and it's blank. I close Firefox and preview again.
It's a blank page, but for the heck of it I decide to View Source
and lo and behold all the data is there. I close the source and try
reloading the page... blank. I'm at a loss. Any idea why this might
be happening?

Sorry, I haven't tested anything on an Intel Mac yet. Testing
everything
on Vista for my new Dreamweaver book has given me enough of a
headache.
However, I'm pretty sure that my editor has an Intel Mac, and
he
followed the instructions in "PHP Solutions" without any
major hiccups.
(They're pretty much the same as in the Flash book.)
Isn't there a MySQL.prefPane icon in the MySQL installation
package? I
have found that MySQL won't start automatically on 10.4 (it
did on
10.3), but as long as you install the prefPane, you should be
able to go
in and start it manually.

  • Apache2, PHP, MySQL Help

    Hi,
    Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie thing todo but I am not too good with solaris configuration yet.
    Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...
    Thanks Rob

    Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy
    tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL
    and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...Setting up Apache is very easy since all it takes is setting it up. Its installed by default, you can check /etc/apache for an example configuration file. Next to that www.apache.org/docs/ is also a very valuable read.

    You could also consider looking into the Java webserver (formely SunONE). Its currently being made available for free with the Java Enterprise System and compares very well to Apache. If you'll also be doing some Java it would be a better choice (IMO its a better choice than Tomcat) and it can also do PHP.

    As you'll note I included the PHP website because with the above setup you'd also need to manually setup PHP. If you have the companion CD present you can install the PHP module which will end up on /opt/sfw/apache. This directory will also present you a php.ini example which will need to be placed in /etc/apache as well. Setting it up is basicly following the documentation in the ini file, and the Apache documentation on adding an extra module (/opt/sfw/apache/libexec/libphp4.so).
    MySQL. Also very easy since its shipped with Solaris as well. Look into /etc/sfw/mysql for a README which covers the most essential steps to set it up. In short you'll need to setup a few directories for MySQL to work and optionally (but recommended) copy the default config file to /etc (/etc/my.cnf) which will define certain basic settings. The readme explains. Next you're likely to need the MySQL guide (if you're new with MySQL) which can be located at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/index.html.
    This applies to the version (close enough anyway) which is shipped with Solaris. From personal experience I can say that MySQL 5 will also run very well on Solaris 10.
    Finally the PHPMyadmin... That really is an RTFM issue, once you have your environment setup (Apache and the likes) its likely you only need to copy it to your document root and point your browser to it.
    Hopes this helps somewhat.

  • Dreamweaver newbie - php & mysql help

    hi,
    new to dremweaver, have used .net in past with vwd and found it straight forward to drag over grid view etc to view data from sql database.
    i want to use php and mysql now and looking at dreameaver cs4 i really want to know what each navigation is. i.e. how do i create my mysql database and drag say a grid view in dreamweaver cs4 over to view?
    basically just need to know the basics navigation of what buttons i need for to interact using php and mysql?
    any help would be great, and also if anyone can recommend a good book on php/mysql with dreamweaver cs4 as a by the by then would greatly appreciate it.

  • PHP / MySQL help

    Hello all,
    I've got an update record form on one of my pages (it is a
    php / MySQL site). I followed the tutorial in dreamweaver 8, it
    works, but it does not work like I want it to work.
    I am hoping that when a user logs into the site, and they
    want to update their information, they can go to a page that has an
    update record form. This form will have all the fields empty. When
    the user enters information, only the fields that have been entered
    will update the record in the database (and all of the fields that
    are left blank will have no effect on the record in the database).
    How it is now, when the user goes to that page, all the text
    fields are filled with the information contained in the database.
    If they make a mistake, and delete any of those fields, that
    information will be deleted from the database.
    Is this possible to do? If so, is there a tutorial that I
    have not found yet that I can learn how to do this?
    Thank you

    >Is this possible to do?
    Sure it's possible, but I don't really think it's necessary.
    What if the user wants to completely remove the contents of the
    field? And if you don't want to allow that, then you should
    validate those fields anyway.
    Another workflow would be to have the form retrieve the
    database row into static text fields, so at least the user can see
    what is stored. Adjacent to the static fields would be normal text
    fields that they can enter text into if they want to make changes.
    Of course your form processing script would then need to evaluate
    each field for contents. It would then dynamically build the update
    sql based on the filled in fields. I don't know of a specific
    tutorial, but if you know sql and php it should be a piece of
    cake.

  • Macromedia Dreamweaver "Unidentified Error" PHP MySQL, help please

    Ok,
    I've been developing web applications with with PHP/MySQL for some time now, but had been unable to afford dreamweaver to help me out. Thus every website I made came from strait "notepad" style typeing. Everything always worked just fine. Recently though I got my hands on Macromedia Studio MX, but have been having troubles ever since then.
    I wrote my own PHP script to connect to my MySQL database on my computer (localhost), and it worked like a charm. Then I went over to dreamweaver, followed all the steps, entered the information, clicked the "test" button and I get the an error "an unidentified error occured".
    At this point I checked everything tried again, and then that rendered the same result, I went online and found the same problem at Macromedia's webstie: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16515
    I've tried everything mentioned there to no avail. I was hopeing someone out there would know what is wrong with my connection. Quick summary:
    Trying to connect with Dreamweaver to localhost MySQL database, with PHP MySQL settings. I get "an unidentified error occured". But the informaiton has been verified as correct with my own PHP script.

    Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
    What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.
    best,

  • PHP error help needed

    I've worked through the Adobe tutorial, "Developing a web

  • DataGrid + .PHP + mySQL Help

    I have searched all over for information on how to load data
    from mySQL in a DataGrid with AS3.
    My mySQL database only has three fields; ID, Name, Kind
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/helloAS3/helloAS3.php?page=1
    This is a pretty good, start-to-finish, example of how to get
    data from MySQL/PHP (as well as working with other forms of data)
    to Flash AS3 and how to manipulate it. Now,...I don't think it
    covers DataGrid, but you can probably read through it and get a
    good idea of what to do. If you still have questions, after you
    read it, post back here.

  • PHP/MySQL versions needed?

    I have been using php 4.3.11 and MySql 4.0.15 on a Mac G5
    with Deamweaver 8, I just upgraded to CS 3 and got a new Intel
    MacBook and just put PHP 5 on it, but what version of MySql is
    recommended? I put on Mysql 5, but could not get it to work, and am
    wondering if i can get it off and go back to MySql 4.xx? Anyone?
    Thanks, Jay

    Sorry, I haven't tested anything on an Intel Mac yet. Testing
    everything
    on Vista for my new Dreamweaver book has given me enough of a
    headache.
    However, I'm pretty sure that my editor has an Intel Mac, and
    he
    followed the instructions in "PHP Solutions" without any
    major hiccups.
    (They're pretty much the same as in the Flash book.)
    Isn't there a MySQL.prefPane icon in the MySQL installation
    package? I
    have found that MySQL won't start automatically on 10.4 (it
    did on
    10.3), but as long as you install the prefPane, you should be
    able to go
    in and start it manually.

  • MySql Help Needed

    Hey all,
    I am trying to create a MySQL db to contain song information. I want to create a column for album art (small image of CD) to be displayed with each track. Each track has its own album artwork, so it needs to be dynamic. When creating the db for the songs i have created a field for song_art. My question is: 1.) what type of data field should it be and 2.) how do reference the album artwork from an image file.
    Thanks
    Matt

    if i place all the album art images on the server.. How would i reference them? See heres the thing, this list is going to get extremely long and i need it to be fully automated, the columns are sortable and i need that image to stay with the entry. Is there a way to do this keeping it saved to the disk?
    sorry.still new

  • Servlet mySQL help needed

    Hey Guys... I have a servlet located on the same server as my mySQL database, which is supposed to gather data from the database. Then I have client code, which is supposed to connect to the servlet from some other remote machine, and get the data from the servlet. I had to do it this way because my webhost does not allow remote access to the mySQL database. But my servlet code is not working, no data is being gathered. And I'm betting my client code is incorrect too. I've never had to connect to a servlet from a remote app, I've always connected directly to the database...sooo could you check my code and show me what is wrong and how to do it correctly? (note I XXX'ed out passwords, etc) Thank you...

    Hello kkopacz,
    From your code, some of the assumptions seems to appear :
    1) You are having Your Servlet Container and MySql on the same machine.
    2) You are providing your user name and password in your URL for the MySql Driver.
    3) You have mapped the 'ServletTest' class's object by '/servlet/Test' in your Deployment
    Descriptor(web.xml).
    4) You are assuming at least four records in your MySql database : tsptracker_com [ This should be in fact in your while(rs.next()) loop at least though not checked for rs to be null ]
    I would say, try with following changes in your code,
    1) insted of 'myConnection = DriverManager.getConnection (url, XXX, XXX);' in ServletTest
    only say 'myConnection = DriverManager.getConnection (url)', since you are already giving as a part of dbase URL , uname and pwd.
    2) In your ClientTest, try following code
    public class ClientTest
         public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
              URL url = new URL("http://www.XXX.com/servlet/Test");
    // Since http URL and also set content type in response test/html,
    // U can use HttpURLConnection object.
              HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    if(con.getContentLength() == -1) {
    con.connect();
              InputStream in = con.getInputStream();
              String buffer = "";
              for(int i = in.read(); i != -1; i = in.read()) {
    buffer += (char)i;
              in.close();
              System.out.println(buffer + "");
    I hope this should work fine.
    Main prob seems to be in your code, is you are giving unmae and paswd again.. and assumption of recod numbers.
    Anyway, I think this should work for you.
    Cheers
    -Yogi

  • Mysql - help needed (please)

    I'm trying to connect to mysql using jconnector on a W2k box. Here are my settings:
    Path
    C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\bin;C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.0.14-production-bin.jar
    If create a CLASSPATH aswell then I cannot use javac. If I use CLASSPATH with the settings above mentioned the following still applies:
    Here is the test prog:
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    public class JdbcExample2 {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
    con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test",
    "NAME", "PASSWORD");
    if(!con.isClosed())
    System.out.println("Successfully connected to " +
    "MySQL server using TCP/IP...");
    } catch(Exception e) {
    System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    } finally {
    try {

    Here's my result:
    C:\Sun\Java_Progs\src>java JdbcExample2

    Any ideas?

    I've just done this:
    CLASSPATH:

    But still no luck. I get this:

    Any ideas?

  • I need help with DW, PHP & MySQL please.

    Hello, I am new to website development and am trying to set up a form for collecting data on my website and have a question that I can’t find an answer to anywhere else. I was wandering if someone there would be kind enough to help?  I am using Dreamweaver in CS4 and my host already has PHP & MySQL installed on the server that I can use.  My question is: Do I need to download XAMP or WAMP on my computer before trying to connect my form to the server?  Also, do I need to change the page I am putting the form on to .PHP extension or can I just embed the PHP form into an existing HTML page?
    Most of the training tutorials I’ve read don’t start at the most basic beginning but rather expect people to already have a basic knowledge of the topics they are trying to learn.  If anyone knows the best place to get answers to the most basic questions like this one or a beginners guide to working with DW, PHP & MySQL I will gladly go there rather than waste your time on questions you’ve probably already answered a bezillion times.
    Thank you for the help.

    Strictly speaking, you don't need XAMPP or WAMP on your local computer. But if you're serious about getting involved with PHP/MySQL, you should definitely set up a local testing environment with one or the other. It's safer and more efficient. Don't expose all your errors on a live server. You can find instructions on  how to set up a testing environment here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html.
    To develop with PHP, you should always use a .php file name extension. Any other choice is very rare.
    There's a tutorial on building your first dynamic website with DW here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html.
    For more in-depth help, you might want to consider grabbing hold of a copy of "The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP". (Yes, I wrote it, so it's a bit of shameless self-promotion, but you'll find it answers many of your questions - and probably a lot you hadn't even thought of.)
