Running MySQL Connection for PHP on Dreamweaver8

Good Day:
I installed the MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.0 to run on my Dreamweaver 8.
On the Application Panel -> Database tabs -> MySQL Connection: after i entered the connection name, user name and everything, it returns HTTP ERROR CODE 502 BAD GATEWAY.
btw, I'm running on localhost
May someone pls tell me what's wrong with it?
many thanks!

Hi,
maybe your issue is related to what´s already been posted to the Dreamweaver Application Development forums:

Dreamweaver & MySQL Extension for PHP

Hey guys,
As everybody knows, the mysql extension in PHP has been deprecated and it will soon be replaced by mysqli, so does anybody know where I can find an Adobe Extension I can use so I can start using mysqli with Dreamweaver instead of mysql?
By the way, I'm using CS5, CS5.5, so I don't have access to exchange since Adobe put it to work only with CS6.
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no extention available at the moment which replaces the old/current msql server behaviours in DW for msqli. Whilst they are/were useful they are/were also were quite limiting.
After Adobe announced that they would be removing the server behaviors in the current version of DW CC and that php announced that it would no longer support the sql extention in it's next release personally I decided it was time to move on. The good news is using sqli to connect/query a database is really quite a simple proceedure. Just Google a few tutorials.
I understand the reasoning for wanting sqli automation BUT its not available at the moment so you have two choices, 1) continue to use the old mysql server behaviours or 2) learn the new sqli way. It wont take you long to get to grips with it. The server behaviours in DW only offered the basics so learning those basics using sqli isn't going to be too time consuming, plus you actually get more familar with the coding.

PHP MySQL connect error

OK
I get the following error when running my php pages on our
new web server (Windows Server 2003):
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\jionas_website\Connections\jonas_website.php
on line 9
When I open the file jonas_website.php it indicates the
filename Connection_php_mysql.htm. It is on my local machine in the
programs folder but not on the web server. Should it be?
If I run a phpinfo page it runs fine...actually any php
commands seems to work.
I also get that "unidentified error" when I try to connect to
MYSQL through Dreamweaver MX 2004. I have followed all the
suggestions in the technote for this error. I still get it.
I can connect to the MYSQL server through MYSQLadministrator
so I am not sure what is going on.
Please help.

Remove the semicolon from the beginning of these lines in the

extensions section:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_mysql.dll
Also add this line after them:
extension=php_mysqli.dll

PHP MySql connection to GoDaddy

I use DWCS4, PHP, MySQL. I have created a MySql database on my GoDaddy-hosted account and can FTP to it and have transferred tables and data to it. However, when I try to create a database connection in DW, I get the following error message; "Your PHP server does not have the MySQL module loaded or you can’t use the mysql_(p)connect functions."
I searched for solutions on the web (no answers in this forum), and got several results that said to manually create the connection file such as the following
<?php//Sample Database Connection Syntax for PHP and MySQL.
//Connect To Database
$hostname="your_mysqlserver.secureserver.net";
$username="your_dbusername";
$password="your_dbpassword";
$dbname="your_dbusername";
$usertable="your_tablename";
$yourfield = "your_field";
mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) OR DIE ("<html><script language='JavaScript'>
alert('Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.');
history.go(-1);</script></html>");
mysql_select_db($dbname);
?>
Just fill in your password etc, save it as connectdb.php (or whatever), and include it at the top of the files that need to access the database. You could use an if statement to determine whether you were working locally or on GoDaddy.
I tried that, but it still won't connect. (My regular connection for just transferring files works fine).
Has anyone out there solved the GoDaddy database connection problem?
Frank

Check php_info()to see which connector is enabled.
It should be either mysql or mysqli.
Since you are having problems with mysql, try to connect with mysqli connector.
If that won't solve your problem, email GD about your problem, and ask if any mysql connectors are enabled in your hosting plan.

CS3 mysql database connection using php

Hi, this is my first time trying to connect to a database. I have created a mysql database with my hosting provider. I am also configured to use php. I have ready numerous threads on this topic, but am still confused.
I am getting the following error message:
When I enter the following information into the connection string, I get the following error Error http error code 404 file not found. The site does not map to ftp.readyhosting.com/_mmserverscripts/mmhttdb.php Is the location of mysql server correct? Connection name ? user defined ?aosprod?
Mysql server = aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com. Also, this is not the same location as the web server.
The hosting company provides the following php code to connect to the database.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com', 'aosweb', '*password*');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(aos);
?>
Because of the connection dialog boxes in CS3, I have not used this php code but only used the mysql server aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com.
My requirements are very simple, I want to use the same remote database for the dreamweaver connection for the remote and testing server.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks. George

First of all, you seem to be mixed up about terminology. ASP stands for Active Server Pages, and is a type of server technology similar to PHP. I think you mean ISP (Internet Service Provider). However, this is not correct, either. An ISP provides your connection to the internet. Although some ISPs also host websites for their customers, your website is normally located at a hosting company. You need to get that mixup out of the way. Otherwise, you might confuse people with future questions about ASP, when you actually mean something completely different.
OK, lecture over...
Your hosting company is following standard procedure by preventing remote access to MySQL databases. However, Dreamweaver does make it possible to use your remote database and website for testing purposes. It does so by uploading a hidden folder called _mmServerScripts to your remote server. This performs a local connection with your database, and then sends the results back to your local computer. When setting up your testing server definition in Dreamweaver, you need to provide the details as I indicated before. When creating a MySQL connection in Dreamweaver, fill in the server name and account details as given to you by your hosting company. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to use your remote server and database for testing.
Having said that, it is much better to install a local testing environment. You'll find it faster, and it also lets you make mistakes (an essential part of the learning process) in the security of a closed environment. For details of how to set up a local testing environment, see this article in the Adobe Developer Connection.

New PHP/MySQL Connection extension doesn't show tables. What's the next step?

I'm creating Dreamweaver extensions to work with my CMS.
Since it is already connecting to the MySQL database I'd like
Dreamweaver to access the same connection without asking the
developer for the MySQL credentials again. I have created the HTML
form, the EDML for the connection script, and the JavaScript to
stitch it together, and I can successfully create connections. The
connection script looks good but when I try to expand the tables in
the database window it doesn't post a request to the server and it
just shows "None". I have a regular PHP MySQL connection on the
same site which works fine.
I feel like I'm missing a required next step which would tell
it how to enumerate tables. It would be ideal if I could plug into
the existing PHP MySQL code for this.
I would really appreciate any help and/or pointers!

Are you using the Database access functions?

Updating to 10.4.11 killed my PHP/MYSQL connections

Hi all - I use Dreamweaver CS3 for web development, and have been using some very simple PHP/MYSQL Select and Inserts. Everything was working fabulously up until this morning, when I updated to 10.4.11 (Macbook Pro, CoreDuo). As soon as I updated, I get a 'No Database Selected' message in Safari, Firefox and IE. I can see the database and work with it in DWeaver, just can't get it to go live in browsers.
I'm running PHP 5.2.4, MYSQL 5.1.8 and whatever version of Apache is bundled in OS X (I think it's 1.x - but can't find how to get that number!)
Just for record, I have stopped/restarted Personal Web Sharing, Personal File Sharing, OS X, MYSQL to just check whether something wasn't working there.
I'm about to close out, zap the PRAM and then come back in.
Any ideas?
Vince

Thanks - A couple of additional points. This is OS X 10.4.11, not OS X Server, so I had installed MYSQL and PHP as fresh installations. MYSQL has not changed since I installed and is running fine through direct client (Navicat).
For PHP I was running 4 and it had been running fine. When the update to OSX came through, PHP 4 didn't work - no change had been made to any configuration file that was working already. These are the httpd.conf instructions I had followed to set-up PHP 4:
+1 Launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities.+
+2 Open the Apache configuration file and edit the UNIX shell prompt:+
+sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf+
+3 When prompted for a password, enter the Mac OS X administrator account password.+
+4 Uncomment the following lines:+
+LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so+
+AddModule mod_php4.c+
+5 Add the following lines (add these lines above: AddType application/x-tar .tgz):+
+AddType application/x-httpd-php .php+
+AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps+
+Note: All the commands for the pico editor display on the screen and you can start any commands with the Control key. Use the arrow keys to move around. Pico is a text editor, mostly for UNIX users to use at the UNIX command line. The pico text editor resides in /usr/bin/ directory.+
+6 Add a new index page for PHP (index.php) so that the web server will recognize it as the first page to load:+
+<IfModule mod_dir.c>+
+DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm+
</IfModule>
+7 Save the httpd.conf file by pressing ^X (control & x keys). When the screen asks "Save Modified buffer?", press "Y". When prompted for "File Name to write : httpd.conf", press Return once to accept it. This will return you to the UNIX shell prompt.+
When PHP 4 stopped working, I took the decision to upgrade to 5 and then fix the breakdown (by now, I was convinced it was an Apache change (nothing in config had changed at all). So, upgraded to PHP 5 and, to do so, had to reverse the directions above. Since then, I've tried reenabling the above, replacing with PHP5 wherever PHP4 appears, all to no avail (in fact, it just froze the Personal Web Sharing that turns Apache on/off).
Right now, running the phpinfo check detailed above tells me the PHP 5 is successfully installed and running. The text from the test copied here:

I don't know if any of this helps, but it's what I find. From my online troubleshooting and reading, I believe all of the above looks right and that things should work. So, I'm still left with an informed gut decision that something in the set-up of Apache changed (location in file structure, configuration file, etc.) Could it be looking at a second copy of httpd.conf somewhere else? That would seem to make sense - however I haven't managed to turn up how to assess which version of Apache is loaded (I think 1.3) or where it's located.
If anyone can confirm what PHP5 code should be included in httpd.conf given the above, that would be a great next step.
Thanks for all your assistance!

PHP and MySQL Connection problem

I am trying to make a PHP MySQL on a remote server connection in Dreamwesaver CS3.
When I enter the information (host, user, password, etc.) and hit TEST, I get the following error message.
"Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured."
I know the user, password, etc. work, as I can access the MySQL database with other software.
I checked with my host and they say there are no permission problems on their end.
I have checked the settings on the Test Server page in Site Setup and everything looks correct and works there.
I have not seen this particular problem described in other forum postings (although there are a LOT of postings on this topic!).
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought my testing server was the remote server and is always on as far as I know. I don't know how to turn it on or off.
Is there some other testing server that I should be aware of?

I know you are using remote, but is your testing server on? if not turn that on and see if that does it. it just happened to me working on remote server and could not get mysql conn to work, until I turn on my testing (developer server), then I was able to connect to mysql and the tables that I created in phpmyadmin remotly was downloaded.

You control the camera for Skype from within Skype, so Skype must be running to running to make video work.

Mysql connect

I have been using Dreamweaver 8 for about a month (previously
mx2004). It is updated to 8,02.
I can't make a mysql connection as well as open help section.
The help section freezes then closes Dreamweaver
The mysql conn throws this error:
can't connect to local mysql server through
socket;/var/lig/mysql/mysql/sock'(2)
What has happened, this worked fine a few days ago?
Thanks for any help.

If you're using a local testing environment, it sounds as
though the
MySQL server has stopped running on your Mac.

Microsoft Drivers for PHP 5.6+ for SQL Server

Hi there! I'm trying to migrate all of the sites running on Joomla 3, PHP 5.6, from mySQL to MSSQL server 2014. I can only find Microsoft SQL driver 3 which supports
until PHP 5.4 but I'm currently running PHP 5.6. Joomla will NOT even recognize SQL driver PHP 5.4 since I'm running PHP 5.6. Based on my research, it seems as Microsoft DO NOT have SQL driver for PHP 5.6 and don't seem to worry about it. Is there any support
for SQL Drivers for PHP in the future (PHP 5.6+)? Any suggestions? These current sites we are supporting do get PHP upgrades, as well as Joomla. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Microsoft as a whole don't worry about PHP, PHP is not a product of Microsoft. The support for PHP was just because of over requests of PHP users and developers so Microsoft supported PHP on Windows.
Microsoft, might, in future support 5.6 and so on, but these features are not as much supported by Microsoft as MS SQL Server, Windows, ASP.NET are supported and updated frequently.
So, as you've already found. The bid is that you go, and find a third-party plugin. Or, you can however read the manuals (developer documentation) of SQL Server and try to create a plugin in PHP that would connect to SQL Server. If I had to do this, I would
have created a new plugin rather than trying to use an old third-party plugin. Microsoft's product are land-locked so you can't say any plugin would fully function with Microsoft's products.

Code generated in FB 4 for php zend service

I am trying the data generation stuff for php in FB 4
I used to use amfphp and my class would look like this
<?php

    var $connection;
    function AudioService(){
        $this->connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
        mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $this->connection) or die(mysql_error());
    function checkResetPasswordKey($key){
        if (!eregi("^[0-9a-zA-Z]{50}$",$key)) {
            throw new Exception('Bad key');
        /* Verify that user is in database */
        $q = "SELECT * FROM tbusers WHERE forgotPassKey = '$key' AND

        $result = mysql_query($q, $this->connection);
        if (!$result) {

I am by no means an expert; furthermore, I do not know PHP, I use ColdFusion. But what I am about to say applies just the same.
"however in the code generated like FB 4 it looks like this, I wanted to know what advantages this has over my method".
Advantages? None, and probably some disadvantages. I have qualms about this "data-centric" paradigm. Just to do some fun testing, I created two little projects:

These both have View Source enabled, so you can see the differences.
Anytime you use a program to generate code, that code will almost always be much larger than if you code by hand.
Look at the diference between the generated value objects and my single AS class. I have not run the profiler, so I don't know how many milliseconds' difference there is between how fast these run, but I suspect #2 is faster.
You can go from here.

MySQL Connection failed ServerScipt file are disappearing

Running CCS Dreamweaver, Mac OS 10.7.5. MAMP Local Server is working.
I have a sucessful connection on Manage Site>Server>Local Server
I am trying to connect a database through Window>Database>MySQL Connection.
1, I have copied the /MMHTTPDB.php and the mysql.php file to my sites mmServerScript folder. As per Adobe
I get this error message:
The files (mysql.php,mmServerScript ) I copied in to my web site folder are now gone from the website>mmServerScript folder.
I did it three times! All the same results.
Anyone?

There are detailed instructions for setting up a PHP development environment in Dreamweaver on a Mac here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.edu.html#articlecontentAdobe_nu mberedheader_1.
Looking at the error message you have got, you have not defined your site in the MAMP server root (/Applications/MAMP/htdocs). Also, you don't need to copy the MMHTTPDB.php and the mysql.php files. Dreamweaver does that automatically for you.
You should also realize that the name of the folder that contains those files begins with an underscore. It's _mmServerScripts, not mmServerScripts.
Finally, be warned that the PHP server behaviors in Dreamweaver are deprecated. They use code that will be removed from a future version of PHP.
Dreamweaver is fine for developing with PHP, but you should be prepared to hand-code PHP scripts if you want your web pages to continue to work in future.
