Php mysql login behavior

Hi the list,
I have a php/mysql site -, very simple. it's using the
built-in user authentication behavior. this is fine, checks the
database and either opens the correct page with a valid user/login
or opens an error page, if there's no valid login and password set.
what I need to do is to display a field based on the user and
password on the receiving page, but I can't seem to get that to
work. If I get rid of the built-in user authentication and just
send the login and password to the receiving page as form
variables, it works fine but then I don't have the error page
behavior. I'm not a database guy, just kind of floundering here.Any
help gratefully accepted.

Not quite sure what you mean ("display a field") but it
sounds like
you want the receiving page to display some information about
the
person who has logged in?
In that case, in the code on your login page, after login has
been
verified but before the redirection to the receiving page,
you should
set a session variable to be the id of the person logging in.
Then on
your receiving page query the database for the person with
that id and
retrieve whatever you want. For example, get their given name
and
display a personalised welcome to them.
Hope this is what you meant?

AS3 / PHP / MySQL - login form

Hello,
I'm trying to create the most basic example I can of an AS3/PHP/MySQL interaction. I want a Flash movie to check a user's login/pass against a DB. I've tested the PHP code and know it's correct. The problem must lie in the AS. I've traced everything to make sure it goes out correctly, but it comes back as the variable names $user, $pass...and some other garbage... not the variable values I am expecting... see below.
The PHP code correctly returns the following when tested in browser: user=dan&pass=danpass&err=Success!
The traced variables $user, $pass, $err return the following in Flash:
undefined
$pass
$err";
    echo $returnString;
?>
Here's the ActionScript:
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;
logbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, login)
function login($e:MouseEvent){
var myVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("login.php");
myRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
myRequest.data = myVariables;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
myVariables.user = loguser.text;
myVariables.pass = logpass.text;
myLoader.load(myRequest);
function completeHandler(event:Event):void{
    trace(event.target.data.user);
    trace(event.target.data.pass);
    trace(event.target.data.err);
And here's the PHP:
<?php
include_once "dbconnect.php";
$user = $_POST['user'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user = '$user' AND pass = '$pass'");
$check = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if($check > 0){
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
    $user = $row["user"];
    $pass = $row["pass"];
    $err = "Success!";
    $returnString = "user=$user&pass=$pass&err=$err";
    echo $returnString;
?>
Does anything stand out as being wrong? I've gone over this for probably 10-15 hours trying different variations, tweaks, and reducing it in complexity. I will really appreciate any help you can offer! Thank you.
-Eric

Thanks Birnerseff!
I've been running the SWF from the same directory as the PHP script. I just tried viewing it through my localhost and it worked! I guess I'll have to do all my testing that way, but that's fine.
Thank you very much. I probably wouldn't have messed around with that for a long time otherwise.

Login failure (cannot modify header) PHP/MySQL

I have a login form 100% Dreamweaver8 built using PHP/MySQL.
After logging in it fails to goto the $MM_redirectLoginSuccess page
(index.php). I did not have this issue prior to the 8.02 update. I
designed it the same way as I had before the 8.02 update. I have
checked multiple times for whitespace before and after the PHP open
and close tags in Dreamweaver and other text editors.
Below is what info is needed I hope.

I take it you have an include file as well on the page, to
reference the
database? Check in there for whitespace.

If DW 2014.1 cc does not support database, binding, server behavior, and PHP/MySQL require it, but using Adobe Extensions Mngr IS NOT recommended, then WHAT TOOLS do we use to develop a database with DW?

I'm using windows DW 2014.1 cc. I'm following lynda.com tutorials to build a website database with PHP and MySQL. I learned I have to download Adobe Extension Mngr to active DATABASE, BINDING, SERVER BEHAVIOR panels, which I've done. BUT NOW I'VE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO USE THESE TOOLS for new development. If this is the truly the case, then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?

then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?
Besides the tools you would already need for a system using server behaviors (web server, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin) the only extra tool you need is your own brain.
A lot of people are disappointed by the lack of database tools in DW now, but really it's much better this way. You can never achieve better than a rinky-dink dynamic website using server behaviors. The code Dreamweaver dynamic behaviors create is really terrible. (I'm not insulting the fine folks who wrote the feature. It's just a consequence of automated code.) You can write better, simpler, more maintainable code yourself, and over time you will improve. With server behaviors you cannot improve. you get stuck in database kindergarten.

CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL - Delete Record Server Behavior?

When I try to insert the Delete Record server behavior. I get an error message about a DeleteRecord.js file, which seems to be missing or defective. I cannot use the server behavior. I have a file that I developed using CS5, and it does indeed delete the record, but does not proceed to the destination I want. I cannot change that except in the server behavior, so I'm stuck. I have noticed that server behaviors seem to disappear without apparent cause, as it seems to have in this case. I will appreciate any suggestions! Is there any way to embed a call to a target page manually? All is working WITHOUT the server behavior appearing, but I want to go to a confirmation display page that shows the record is indeed deleted, and we just return to the (now blank) delete confirmation page. That'll drive a user bonkers!
Thanks!
Delete Record in CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL?

Well, your error message is self-explanatory.
DW stores ServerBehaviors in 'Configuration' folder in installation directory. If one of the behavior JS files is missing/ corrupt, you'll see the error message you just did.
I've uploaded a functional, proper version of DeleteRecord.js onto my site for you to download. Here's the link:
http://www.sudarshan.me/adobeforum/dw/app/behavior-js/DeleteRecord.zip
Download this file, extract it and put DeleteRecord.js file in your installation directory as follows. If prompted, 'replace' your local copy:
Mac: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 > Configuration > ServerBehaviors > PHP_MySQL
Windows: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\[language]\Configuration\ServerBehaviors\PHP_MySQL
It should work as expected.
If that still doesn't solve the problem, reset your DW preferences and cache and try doing it. Follow the instructions here to reset cache: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
Let us know how it goes.

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.

Our own mysqli server behaviors

Folks, how about we work together to convert the existing Dreamweaver's server behaviors library from mysql extension support to mysqli? I have been able to convert part of it*, but we could try to convert all of it. For those who doesn't know, the source files for the PHP_MySQL behaviors in Windows 8 are at
C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\pt_BR\Configuration\ServerBehaviors
What do you guys think about that?

It's pretty easy to write your own (look for tutorials on Google) and keep them as 'snippets' - insert, update, delete, login - DW server behaviours couldn't really do much more than that, without having to manually manipulate the code.

Command in php / mysql

Hello,
I used to program a lot in ASP, and loved the command
function.
However, now that I'm programming in PHP I do not have this
at my disposal unfortunately.
How does everyone perform certain actions on forms right
now?, for example I'm performing an update on a record, but want to
update all records in the table first by setting a certain field to
0.
Any thoughts and ideas / samples are greatly
appreciated!

I suspect that command is probably a stored procedure.
Unfortunately,
stored procedures were added to MySQL only in version 5.0,
and
Dreamweaver doesn't support stored procedures in the PHP
MySQL server
model. (I've lobbied for support, but it hasn't happened
yet.)
Your update is rather unusual, but you should be able to get
Dreamweaver
to generate the code for you using the Update Record server
behavior.

PhP/MySQL Horizontal/Vertical Repeat Region

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty sure this question would have been asked many times before. If so, first of all my apologies for re-posting this.
Anyway, what I'm trying to do is create a repeat region that spans for 4 columns and then repeats the rest in rows. For example, if I have 100 records in my table (MySQL), then I want to display this in a table of 4 columns and and 25 rows (in reality, the number of records would be unspecified, of course, but still the records need to be displayed on a 4 column, X row table). For example:
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
At the moment, I have no issue with displaying the records either horizontally or vertically (explicitly) using the built in "repeat region" behavior. However, where I'm having the problem is with displaying the records in a table as the one I described above.
I'm using DW CS5 with PhP/MySQL.
Can I still do this using the built in "repeat region" server behavior, if so how?
Otherwise, how else could I achieve this (ideally without using any extensions)?
Thanks in advance for any help and support,
Cheers

I'm believe you should be able to modify the repeat region code to do what you want it to do. With that said we will need 2 things:
1. To see the code from the page.
2. To know the order of the results is it:
Horizontal: 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
Or Vertical:
1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8

PHP/MySql Error Message

I've posted this before and didn't get the answer that I need, probably because I didn't post all of my codes. I am using PHP/MySql. I created a website that has several forms. When I process three of the forms, I get the error messages below:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Condition, Length, Color, City, `State`, Email, Photo) VALUES ('29', '4', 'Used'' at line 1.
Below I am posting the codes. Hopefully, this time I posted everything that I should have so that I can get assistance.

Hi David,
I did as you recommended. For good measure, I even changed the case of the letters to make sure that they coincide with exactly what's in the database. I still kept getting the same error message. So I deleted the recordset and attempted to recreate it. When I attempted to recreate the record set, I got the following error message: "RangeError: invalid array length". My codes are listed below:

Php mysql integration with workgroup manager

Hello,
I run a non-profit arts organization. We have active and inactive members that are tracked with a php mysql web app that I wrote. I was wondering how I could query the workgroup manager from php to make the inactive members not be able to login to our computers. Also, it would be great if we could just add new members into the php web app and then send that new member's info to the workgroup manager.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Alex

Yes, I have an OS X 10.4.3 server - which is also integrated in the AD. If i log on locally on the server with an account from the AD, then the workgroup manager works perfectly.
Guess my main problem is that i don't know where in the process things goes wrong.
- Is it on the client, that it is not able to sent the right requests
- Is it on the OS X Server, where something is misconfigured
- Is it security settings in the AD that prevents the server and client from getting the right information
I have the possibility on both the server and client to do ldap requests through the address book - this tells me that i do have some sort of connection. And that is also verified by actually being able to login with AD accounts.
Is there any logs i should pay special attention to? All the logs i can see through server admin doesn't contain usefull information. The logs on the client located in /var/log only tells me about some minor issues with mcxd (something about the uid being 1325883267 - which confuses me a bit - i thought uid's on unix was between 1 and 65535 :/ )

PHP/MySQL - Nav links pass variable to another page? Or?

I'm a PHP/MySQL beginner. I'm digging through books and tutorials as best I can, but finding myself a little lost in the sheer volume of information. If someone can point me in the right direction for this task, I'd really appreciate it.
I have a database (MySQL) with two tables. One is a list of carpets, and the other a list of the categories of carpets and information about those categories.
The "carpets" table has a field for each record to indicate which category that carpet belongs to.
I'm trying to do this:
- A navigation bar listing the categories
- When you click on a category, a "gallery" page opens, display the carpets (name, description, photo) of each carpet in that category
Does Dreamweaver have server behaviors for this? If not, can anyone give me a general idea of what the code is I need to write to make this happen?
Thanks VERY much in advance,

David,
I believe I've done exactly what you described above; only my naming is slightly different.
catID in my database is "category_id"
page.php in my application is "navbar.php"
detail.php in my application is "gallery.php"
When I view navbar.php in the browser and click on one of the links, the resulting URL is like this:
gallery.php?2=
or
gallery.php?3=
etc.
I'm pasting the whole code from navbar.php and gallery.php below, in case it's is helpful for you to have a look at it (and you have the time to).
I am really grateful for your help.
Patty

Where to go next with Dreamweaver and server-side (php/mysql) applications?

This question is mainly directed at David Powers but I appreciate any input from anyone with the same concern or question.
I've been using DW since the change from Macromedia and have developed a number of applications using built in server behaviors and sb extensions from ADDT, WebAssist, etc. I've learned to customize these behaviors to fit my needs always keeping within the "canned" code. In this way I've "learned" php.
I own most of David's books and in fact, it was because of these that I have any idea about what I'm doing and went in this direction in my "developer" career (building php/mysql applications using Dreamweaver.)
With the decision to remove server behaviors (and the other "developer" panels) from DW and with the deprecation of the mysql extension from the php landscape, I'm wondering where to go next? I fully understand this has to happen.
I'm aware of some alternatives:
Zend or some other framework - to me, this seems extremely complex
Keep several versions of DW installed
Stick to Joomla/WordPress/Drupal - let others who know what they're doing build the architecture
Actually LEARN php - wish I had time; too much work to do (I know how illogical that sounds but it's a very real situation)
I know I'm going to have to switch out all that deprecated code or better yet, rebuild the many applications which used the DW (and other) server behaviors. I'm just not sure which way to turn.

Since I wrote this post I concluded that there is no substitute for understanding and have started my re-education by delving further into the issue with updated PHP/MySQL books and tutorials so I can prepare for a Dreamweaver without this functionality.
Yes, I too have concluded that is the way to go as well. There really is no substitute for learning as much as you can. Whilst the DW Server Behaviours were very convenient they have not kept pace, Adobe prefering to spent their time on less important updates in my opinion. The Server Behaviours are what makes Dreamweaver the tool of choice for database integration for those who lack the knowledge. I feel the Adobe team will regret not coming up with an alternative. Anything that detracts from making the program what it is is a step in the wrong direction and for sure this is a big step in the wrong direction.
rjjacob wrote:
I have mainly used DW server behaviors in my development projects that's why I am curious about what others are doing to make the change. I'm surprised there haven't been more posts; perhaps I'm the last one to be taking action about this, or maybe no one is too worried about it yet.
I think a lot have changed their working practice but many more are burying their heads in the sand. sql_ support is a way off from being completely dropped yet.
rjjacob wrote:
Anyway, your assessment of how terrible the server behaviors are is correct. I'm finding that true after barely breaking the binding on a few books about the greater subject and looking into mysqli and PDO.
Yes, because I relied heavily on them I did not know how bad they were until I forced myself to look further afield. What you can do in a couple of lines of code the DW Server Behaviors produced quadruple or more to achieve the same.
rjjacob wrote:
But they sure were convenient!
Yes, I agree. Maybe some extention developer will come up with a set of new improved behaviours. I tell you if they do they will make a shed load of money.

Dreamweaver PHP/mySQL poll problem?

Hi,
I'm a PHP/mySQL noob who's using some of Dreamweaver's 8
(8.2) out-of-box Update server behaviors to update a database of
results for a poll. I know there's a lot of free polling apps out
there but I need to have the poll show up in another page as
opposed to being refreshed/displayed in the same page/content area.
I've successfully built the backend in phpMyAdmin and I'm
able to list the database contents and do basic updates to the poll
questions and answers. However, I've been unable to pass an
incremented result value via a Dreamweaver radio button group
(which is the normal poll format) without previous unselected
results being overwritten.
When an answer is selected the result is indeed incremented
and is displayed in the Result Listing but unfortunately it also
overwrites any preexisting data for that poll and replaces it with
zero. For example:
Question:
Answer a) 0
Answer b) 0
Answer c) 1 (this would be the value that was selected)
Answer d) 0
If c is selected again the value is stored and incremented
and the value is now 2. However, if that value is not selected,
then another value is incremented and c would be wiped. I've even
resorted to trying to use javascript to maintain the original state
but to no avail I was just previously incrementing the inline php
radio button value and/or assigning different names to each of the
radio buttons. This, of course, allows people to select multiple
values which runs contrary to the whole idea behind radio buttons,
but I thought I'd see if that worked . Anyway, when the radio group
is assigned the same value it merely increments everything.
example:
http://www.dailydatum.com/funFacts/funFactsListingSingleUpdate15.php
As you can see, i'm up to version 15 and gritting me teeth,
lol. Any help would be mighty appreciated.

hi ,
you can always try the macromedia devnet sites , they have
ongoing tutorials and discussions on all areas, including php with
dreamweaver8.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/topics/php.html
be aware though that some of the tutorials require the use of
third party php extensions, like interakt products, which is a
shame because most of them are expensive to buy. But they are still
worth a read.
hope this is some help.

Problems with recordset in PHP/MySQL setting

We use Dreamweaver CS5 for creating dynamic pages (PHP pages with MySQL database). We test the site locally on a Windows 7 operating system with EasyPHP as WAMP server.
We often have a problem in managing the record set.
The following problem occurs quite often:
We take a PHP page. We create a recordset. We use a dynamic table or a repeated region to show the results of the recordset. So far so good.
Then we want to change something to the recordset for example the filter. When editing the recordset, the advanced mode is shown, it is impossible to swith to the simple mode.
By deleting the recordset the problem is not solved. By deleting and afterwards rebuilding the recordset, syntax errors occur. It seems that the php code for building the recordset didn't dissapear.
The only solutions till now seems to completely restart with a new PHP page.
Anyone has a solution for this or anyone did experience the same problem ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Ilse

You cannot switch to Simple mode in the Recordset dialog box if you have made any changes to the SQL in Advanced mode.
Opening the Recordset dialog box to edit the settings does occasionally result in the code being inserted again instead of being changed. This appears to be an intermittent bug, which I have experienced myself, and know that others have complained about it, too. As far as I know, there is no solution other than to watch carefully the code that Dreamweaver generates.
If you don't understand the code, you would be well advised to learn what it means and does. Relying on Dreamweaver to do everything for you severely limits what you can do with PHP/MySQL. Adobe regards the server behaviors as quick prototyping tools, rather than for developing production websites.
