Got lost on Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver

I am following Dave Powers article on building a dynamic website. I am using Mac 10.6.7 and Dreamweaver CS5. I have downloaded Dave's example file and tried putting it on the desktop that didn't work. Next I tried dragging it into the website folder. That didn't work. Then I tried putting the php_test file into MAMP/hedocs and that didn't work. Where should the file go? I got to 2 green lights on the MAMP and can open the start page. The next step was to put in the time code which I did. It looks fine in design but when I click on "live view" it wants me to save the file. I save it as a php on my desktop. It then tells me I havn't specified a testing server. I have tried several ways of setting up the testing server. I set up the file name as :Local Testing---connect using: Local/Network---for the sever folder I have tried /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/php_test with web url: http://localhost/php_test/ . And I have tried it with: /Users/checkout/Desktop/php_test. Any ideas?
Thanks,
She

Don't have the pro version? That's unfortunate. catch-22 for you... can't get any $$ to buy tools for web development until you start getting $$ developing websites and can't develop websites until you get $$ to buy tools for web development.
You have no doubt learned by now through searching (and REsearching) that virtual host is a MAMP Pro feature. If you're too cheap/poor/whatever to afford $59 for MAMP Pro (but you somehow managed to afford the high price of Dreamweaver) then put your site files in MAMP's host location: Applications/MAMP/htdocs
You said in OP that you did something like that... that you put php_test file (presumably php_test.php with contents unknown to forum readers) in the MAMP directory and could not load the page by visiting http://localhost/php_test
That is probably because you did not specify the file extension in the localhost URL like this: http://localhost/php_test.php
How about this... what exact tutorial are you following (provide a URL) and what exact step in the tutorial are you having trouble with? Or try this: instead of php_test use index.php in htdocs directory. For contents of index.php put <?php phpinfo(); ?> then visit http://localhost and see what happens.

Setting up PHP & MySQL (MAMP Pro?)

I recently upgraded to Leopard on my MacBook Pro and plan on purchasing Dreamweaver, then porting my websites over from my PC. I'm now ready to set up Apache, PHP and MySQL on my Mac, but I'm not sure where to start.
When I was using Tiger, I downloaded a program called MAMP, which installed and configured all these programs. It seemed to work OK, though I couldn't make a database connection. However, that was apparently due to a problem that will be fixed if I purchase MAMP Pro.
But here's my first question: Has MAMP Pro been updated to work with Leopard?
Second question: Is MAMP Pro Apple software?
I thought MAMP was made by a different company... http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp-pro/
But I just discovered this page http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/mamppro.html
Finally, what are some pros and cons of using MAMP versus setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL one at a time? I understand Apache and PHP are already installed on my Mac, but they probably need to be configured. In addition, I'm not sure if they're the latest versions.
One thing I like about MAMP is that it apparently keeps all these programs relatively separate from the system, presumably minimizing the chance of interfering with my Mac's overall operation. You can delete all the MAMP programs by simply deleting a folder, I believe.
Thanks.

Mac comes with a fully functioning Apache web server with all the scripting languages (except VB). You need to enable them in the configuration file.
You need some light weight UNIX administration skills to do this. Use the system restore disk to set the password for the root account.
Open a terminal screen from the Utilities folder in Applications. Type "su", press return, then enter the root password you set using the system restore disk.
Make a backup copy of the Apache configuration file with the following command (type this in with no mistakes and press the return key).
cp /etc/httpd/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.copy
Enter the following to open the Apache configuration (type this in with no mistakes and hit the return key).
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf &
Locate and remove the # comment symbol from the following lines and save the file in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.
#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
#AddModule mod_php4.c
Exit the TextEdit application and quit out of the terminal application.
Put the following web page into a file named greetings.php inside the folder Library/WebServer/Documents.
<html>
<head>
<title>Experiment</title>
</head>
<?php
echo "Greetings";
?>
</body>
</html>
Once you have made these changes, you can reboot to activate the changes.
Put the following into your browser to test the configuration.
http://localhost/greetings.php
You should see "Greetings" on a web page titled "Experiment".
MySQL is a separate server that you need to download and configure to complete your web server.
I hope this helps.
Best regards - Greg

HELP:Setting up Fireworks website Background Scroll for Dreamweaver Export

This is what I have designed for my website thus far (image attached) The lime green rectangle is the box that I want to extend for user to scroll down for more information while on the Website. How do I set up this image/function for dreamweaver CS4 html compatible.
Do I use 9 slice scaling or Export a small horizontal image that repeats as the back ground or what.
Please Help me.
Thank you.

It's impossible to see all the details you have from the size of the image you show. It looks like you have a small graphic next to each block of text. If that's what you're asking about then you should export just that graphic and use CSS to place that as part of a class for a div. For each block of text + photo, then, you would add another div. Once you get the code right for one block, you're fine. You do not write this code in Fireworks. You do it in Dreamweaver.
You can't use a repeating graphic for this element (if it is what you're asking about), because the text blocks may or may not line up with it.
Try going through this tutorial (the graphics can be done with Fireworks instead of Photoshop)
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/design-and-code-your-first-website-i n-easy-to-understand-steps/
You can also learn a great deal by looking at the work of others. If you see a site you like, use your browser's source view function and see how it was put together:
View>Source (IE)
View>Page Source (Firefox)
[page control icon]>Developer>View Source
Ctrl-U (Firefox or Chrome)
Here's a site full of inspiration: http://cssbrigit.com/
Again, your image is small, I could very well have misunderstood your question. If so, please describe what you're asking for.

Setting up PHP environment per Adobe tutorial

I am just completing the "Setting up a PHP development
environment for
Dreamweaver" tutorial on Adobe's web site here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html
I have gotten to the very last page (page 6), when you create
a test
database and populate it with a script file. Adobe says;
"Locate the the SQL script file, tutorial.sql, in the sample
files
included with this tutorial and copy it in the bin folder in
your MySQL
installation folder."
Can anybody help find the "tutorial.sql" they refer to? I can
not find a
link to it anywhere. Was this originally supplied on a disk,
but left
out of the online tutorial?
Thanks,
Harvey

I did follow the following link http://www.coderanch.com/forums/jforum?module=posts&action=insert&forum_id=33 and went through the troubleshooting section at the bottom. However my Java code does not display in Dreamweaver's 'Live View'
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time.

Support for PHP 4 to be discontinued - implications for Dreamweaver

Today (13 July 2007) is the third anniversary of the release
of PHP 5.
To mark this occasion, the PHP development team has announced
that
support for PHP 4, except for critical security fixes, will
be
discontinued on 31 December. Furthermore, even critical
security fixes
for PHP 4 will cease on 8 August 2008 (8/8/08). You are urged
to move to
PHP 5.2 as soon as practicable.
As far as PHP code generated by Dreamweaver MX 2004, DW8, and
DW CS3 is
concerned, this change will have NO effect. The code runs
without
problem on PHP 5.2, and should continue to run even when PHP
6 is
eventually released.
Code generated by Dreamweaver MX should be upgraded to run on
PHP 5.2,
as it uses deprecated predefined variables, such as
$HTTP_POST_VARS
(instead of $_POST). Although PHP 5.2 can be configured to
support the
deprecated variables, they will NOT be supported in PHP 6, so
it's a
good idea to start planning ahead.
If you're on shared hosting, the likelihood is that your
server still
runs PHP 4. Now is the time to start pressuring your hosting
company to
commit to upgrade to PHP 5.2. There's no need to panic,
because there
will be security patches for another year; but after that,
any host
still running PHP 4 will leave you potentially open to
security risks.
A lot of people worry that switching from PHP 4 to PHP 5 will
result in
broken sites. For the vast majority of people, it won't. When
I switched
three years ago, I didn't need to change a single line of
code. The only
people who are likely to face problems are those using very
old code or
object-oriented PHP.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

ANN: "Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8" - DW 8.0.2 updates

Readers of "Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8" who have

http://foundationphp.com/dreamweaver8/updates.php#802updater
I have posted details of changes resulting from the release
of the 8.0.2
updater. The main issues are as follows:
* SQL queries that use MySQL functions may be corrupted
(Adobe has
confirmed this as a new bug).
* Changes to the Advanced Recordset dialog box.
* XSL Transformation server behavior fails in PHP 5.1.4 (not
clear
whether this is a Dreamweaver bug or a PHP one). Fortunately,
there is a
simple solution - Adobe has been alerted to the problem.
I have also created new download files for Chapters 8 - 10
(Chapter 11
will follow later). They will eventually be moved to the

David,
Will this affect pages prospectively? In other words, if I
update to
8.2 and then create the database and queries, will everything
be just
tickety boo and it's only already-created functions that are
in jeopardy?
Thanks for staying on top of this!

Tutorial: Flash Builder 4 beta 2 and PHP Data/Services for beginners

Hi fellas,
I've written this tutorial for total beginners to get quickly to FB4 and PHP. Comments welcome
Flash Builder 4 and PHP Data/Services for beginners
http://www.flashrealtime.com/flash-builder-4-and-php-data-services/

Hi,
The first issue will be the pathing differences between wamp/mamp/xampp, some use www as root others htdoc you need to setup the php services on your local machine rather than importing a project.
The created services will have a connection array declared at the top of the code that points to the mysql server, in the project default debug folder you will have the config file that has the zend and webserver path
top of service file
============
var $username = "root";
var $password = "";
var $server = "localhost";
var $port = "3306";
var $databasename = "zend";
var $tablename = "clients";
var $connection;
amfconfig.ini
=========
[zend]
;set the absolute location path of webroot directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\www
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/www
webroot =C:/wamp/www
;set the absolute location path of zend installation directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\PHPFrameworks\ZendFramework\library
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/PHPFrameworks/ZendFramework/library
;zend_path =
[zendamf]
amf.production = false
amf.directories[]=Zender-debug/services
In your main project folder you have a .model folder the file there is an *.fml file that contains your channel endpoints etc.

Is cartweaver available for dreamweaver cs6

I have been trying to find Cartweaver within Adobe Extensions for Dreamweaver CS6, but although I've just downloaded all updates, it doesn't appear in the list. Is it no longer available? I can see PHP shopping cart, but has this replaced Cartweaver?
Thanks.

Hi Linda,
Yes please do pop over to the Cartweaver user forums. Handling detailed information would be more appropriate there.
Briefly, there has been an update since the Lynda.com course was done - just a small on to make things easier. After installing Cartweaver into your site and once you have created a new blank database, and set you data connection, just brows to your admin. The first time you do this you will be presented with the create database page - click the button and all the Cartweaver tables and data will be added to your database.
For any more details feel free to ask on the CW user forums or email me or support,
Hope this was helpful. Thanks!

Setting up an Internal Server for Captivate 5 using ASP

We recently purchased Captivate for one of the features of being able to setup an internal server. I viewed the blog entry about setting up an internal server and it seemed pretty straight forward except that our server is setup for ASP not PHP. Does anyone have a template for ASP coding and have you set up an Internal Server for collecting Quiz Results in the Quiz Results Analyzer instead of using Acrobat.com.

Server address = FTP host
Host directory is optional but you need to ensure that Dreamweaver is looking at the root directory of your website in Remote View.
If you see a folder such as public_html or html or httpdocs or similar then you're one level too far up in the folder hierarchy on the server.
Simply put the root directory folder name (public_html or html or httpdocs or whatever it's called on your server) into the Host Directory field in Dreamweaver.
