You don't need a local testing environment, but it's highly
recommended
that you do. It's much more efficient and secure.

I watched about four minutes of that "tutorial". It's totally
useless.

The reason that doesn't work is because the creator of the
"tutorial"
failed to explain the difference between quotation marks and
backticks.
What actually appears on screen is not what you have typed,
but this:
$query = 'CREATE TABLE `menu` (
`mid` TINYINT( 3 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(20) NOT NULL
`link` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( `mid` )
Note the difference between ' and `. The second one is called
backtick,
and is located above the tab key on most keyboards. In this
case, you
don't need it. The following would be fine:
$query = 'CREATE TABLE menu (
mid TINYINT( 3 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(20) NOT NULL
link varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (mid)

PHP/MySQL issue after security update 2010-005

Hello,
I run Apache/PHP/MySQL on my MBP for testing Web sites.
After the 2010-005 security update I can't connect to my databases anymore.
I don't know how to fix this, I even don't know where to start looking.
Ideas, anyone?

etresoft, thanks for sharing this ... I decided to go with the TriangleJuice suggestion instead for two reasons ... first is that I wasn't sure where to find this launchd file.
There is nothing wrong with TriangleJuice's suggestion. My only issue with creating a php.ini file is that now I have to worry about all those other settings in the ini file. If something else in PHP breaks, I have to figure out if I am the one who broke it.
Apple ships MySQL with MacOS X Server. They probably adjusted the PHP settings to match how they have MySQL setup in MacOS X Server.
For MySQL's, no, Sun's - drat! no, Oracle's part, they still haven't acknowledged the fact that Apple has shipped MacOS X 10.4. MySQL still ships with a Startup Item. If you don't know where the launchd file is, it is because you don't have one. You probably have a MySQL entry in /Library/StartupItems or maybe /System/Library/StartupItems. Startup Items were deprecated in 10.4. Oracle should be creating a file named com.mysql.mysqld.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
Here is what mine looks like now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I also don't have a /var/mysql directory and wasn't sure whether I should just create one or if this meant my configuration was different. If you feel like explaining any of this, I'd be curious to know.
You have to create one. Such a directory probably already exists on MacOS X Server. Just make sure it is owned by mysql.
sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo chown _mysql:staff /var/mysql
sudo chmod 0755 /var/mysql
[jdaniel@Pele:516] /var $ ls -al /private/var | grep mysql
drwxr-xr-x 3 _mysql staff 102 Aug 26 20:03 mysql
Of course, /var is a symbolic link to /private/var. Long story there.

PHP MySQL Error Code 500

May be someone can help me out with this problem.
I have setup a new site using PHP MySQL and Dreamweaver 8.02.
Dreamweaver connects to the database but after creating a
recordset the recordset cannot be used.
instead Dreamweaver returns:
HTTP Error Code 500 internal Server Error
Any help will be much appriciated.
Jos

Hello,
I have also had the same error - namely that whilst I could connect via ftp, upload/download files, and view database tables, any attempt to view of modify recordsets resulted in error 500.
Having checked other potential causes (e.g. selection/non-selection use of passive FTP setting, enabling of php, etc.), on the back of posts here I contacted my host and asked if if could relate to mod security, as further investigation revealed that the issue only occurred on sites where mod security had not been disabled (I don't like to disable mod security for obvious reasons - and I'm told you can't do that site by site with apache2 anyway).
After a few false starts, the problem was resolved - with the following response from my host: "The false positives were being generated by "/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php" and that is what we've worked around in the rules. As such, any domain on [servername] using that script in the same way shouldn't generate a false-positive moving forward."
So it seems the answer (assuming your on an apache server of course) may be to modify the rules to allow full access for MMHTTPDB.php.
I hope that is of help to some.

PHP/MySQL incommunicado since upgrading OS X Server 10.4.2 - 10.4.3

Back when 10.4 first came out and I foolishly upgraded my server right away, I spent hours trying to reconfigure PHP because Apple had monkeyed with with the configuration (since 10.3) and shipped it such that PHP/MySQL wouldn't speak out of the box. I think the trouble had something to do with the location that PHP looks for MySQL, but low level config of these services isn't really my area of expertise. Eventually I got it fixed, but it was a nightmare trying to figure out what was wrong.
Sooo....performed the update to 10.4.3 this morning....and now if I try to bring up a php page in a web browser:
Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.1.250' (61)...
And that's as far as it gets. Anyone have any ideas? I would speculate that Apple may have finally addressed the issue that was preventing PHP/MySQL from working out-of-box in 10.4, but, in doing so, my workaround for that problem has now become a problem itself.
Any advice or help would be of greatly appreciated!

Make sure mySQL server process is started running.
I think on some upgrades the setting for automatic start of mySQL
servcies gets set to NO in /etc/hostconfig file

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.

Php/mysql ajax toggle div

Hi,
I have recently started using ajax in my pages, and I am very impressed!
But my skills have not yet developed and I am using a code snippet off the internet to do what I want.
I have a hidden div tag called photo to which I want to load images into
I have a link tag with an ID of the "album name"
I want to call the div by clicking on the link and have the div animate down with a do while loop consisting of the images in that "album name"
Here is my code:
AJAX
window.addEvent('domready', function(){
    var mySlide3 = new Fx.Slide('photo');
    mySlide3.hide();
    $('<?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name'];?>').addEvent('click', function(e){
        e = new Event(e);
        mySlide3.toggle();
        e.stop();
PHP
<?php do { ?>
    <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" >
      <tr>
        <?php
$listAlbumPhotos_endRow = 0;
$listAlbumPhotos_columns = 4; // number of columns
$listAlbumPhotos_hloopRow1 = 0; // first row flag
do {
    if($listAlbumPhotos_endRow == 0 && $listAlbumPhotos_hloopRow1++ != 0) echo "<tr>";
   ?>
        <td><div class="AlbumNameText"><a href="#" id="<?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name']; ?>"><?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name']; ?></a></div></td>
        <?php $listAlbumPhotos_endRow++;
if($listAlbumPhotos_endRow >= $listAlbumPhotos_columns) {
?>
      </tr>
      <?php
$listAlbumPhotos_endRow = 0;
} while ($row_listAlbumPhotos = mysql_fetch_assoc($listAlbumPhotos));
if($listAlbumPhotos_endRow != 0) {
while ($listAlbumPhotos_endRow < $listAlbumPhotos_columns) {
    echo("<td> </td>");
    $listAlbumPhotos_endRow++;
echo("</tr>");
}?>
    </table>
<?php } while ($row_listAlbumPhotos = mysql_fetch_assoc($listAlbumPhotos)); ?>
HTML
<div id="photo">
This is a test
<br />
</div>
Currently this works for the first record found.
I have setup two albums "Friends" and "Other"
Currently Other is not accepting <a href="#" id="<?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name']; ?>"> the ID or the Ajax is not allowing the ID
I'm not sure which. Can anyone help me?

Take a look at this list:
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Calendars/index.html
Ignore the first few that have a colored background because
those are paid resources, but the rest will do what you want.
One note to mention on this subject is that there are
combination scripts, PHPiCalendar being the most notable, that
allow you to use a stand alone calendar application like iCal
(Mac), Windows Calendar (only in Vista), or Sunbird (from Mozilla,
Win or Mac). From those programs you could publish the calendar.
All you would need to do is edit the template files in that script
and then your users can publish from easy applications they know
over a calendar app based entirely on PHP/mySQL.
This is not say there are not good solutions, but this is
just an observation. Also if you are using a forum, most forum
software (ie: Invsion Power Board, vBulletin, Simple Machines Forum
(SMF), etc) all have built in calendar scripts that are tied into
the forum software. So that might be another avenue to consider.
But if you just need a stand-alone app, then check out that
list. There are some pretty good scripts there.

Thinking of learning to build sites with PHP/MySQL

Is it worth it to invest the time and brain power? I've been
using Dreamweaver for years. None of my sites really are so large
that I'm having issues. But, I could see some down the road that
might be too complex and large.
I'm having some problems figuring out where to begin. Any
suggestions on books that specifically deal with Dreamweaver and
database driven sites?

David Powers 'Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8' is what got
me started. I
was able to work through most of it in a weekend. He takes
you step by step
on how to set up your computer to run PHP/MySQL, and then you
build a series
of increasingly complex projects with each new aspect of
PHP/MySQL that he
teaches.
He has some newer books out, too, if you have a more recent
version of DW:

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!

Can't connect PHP/MySQL 404 error

Wow, the learning curve is killing me. Yet another challenge. I'm using Dreamweaver CC and this tutorial http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html
I'm at this step:
Open comments.php. You must have a PHP page open in the Document window to create a MySQL connection.
In the Databases panel (choose Window > Databases), click the Plus button on the panel and select MySQL Connection.The MySQL Connection dialog box appears.
Type connTest as the connection name.
For the MySQL Server, type localhost.If you are using the MAMP default ports on a Mac, use localhost:8889.
For the User Name, type phptestuser.
Type the password you chose for the phptestuser account in the Password field.
For the Database, type php_test.Note: You don't need to precede the underscore with a backslash here. It was inserted by phpMyAdmin in the previous section (see Figure 20) only because phpMyAdmin uses a query that permits wildcard characters.
Click Test.Dreamweaver attempts to connect to the database. If the connection fails, do the following:
Double-check the server name, user name, and password.
Check the settings for the folder Dreamweaver uses to process dynamic pages (see Specifying a Testing Server for Dreamweaver).
Verify that the web and MySQL servers are both running.
Temporarily disable any firewall or security program. If the connection works, you need to configure the security program to permit communication between Dreamweaver and MySQL.
Click OK. The new connection appears in the Databases panel.
Expand the connTest connection, and then expand the Tables branch. You'll see the comments table in the database, which you can expand to reveal the details of the table columns (see Figure 23).
As far as I can tell I have followed this tutorial to the letter.
As far as I can tell, XAMPP/php mySQL are all running fine, the files are in the correct place and everything should be working. However when I hit test I get a 404 error. (Same error when I hit the select button.)
The suggested problems on the 404 message are:
1. There is no testing server running on the server machine.
Pretty sure the testing server is running. Is there any way to test this, other than to note that xampp is definitely running right now and that I can log into phpMYadmin no problem?
2. The testing server specified for this site does not map to the http://localhost/php_test/_MMServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.
Ummm...I'm pretty sure I put things where I was told to put them in the tutorial, but I'm lost at this point where I should verify what. A clue here? The files are where they are supposed to be, but maybe I entered something wrong? Except...I'm not sure what that could be or where to find it. Whatever IT is.
Everything in local files is looking good.
Thanks for your help!
PS: Extra points to anyone who figures out how to make copy/pasteable error messages! These buggers are the bane of my life!

Bgupta, you rock!
I hope you have copied the "mysql.php" and "MMHTTPDB.php" files from "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\locale\Configuration\Connections\Scripts\PHP_MySQL\_mmDBScripts" to "C:\xampp\htdocs\phptest\_mmServerScripts"
This was EXACTLY the problem. I checked the tutorial and I couldn't even find where the tutorial said to do this. (If I missed it, let me know where in the tutorial it was, please.)
Fixed!

PHP/Mysql issue

I use Dreamweaver CS3 to create my sites on a Windows/Apache
Server with PHP5 and Mysql 5. The site works perfectly on my
testing server at home. On the Web server I'm getting the following
error which causes the page to not load:
PHP Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid
MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 63
PHP Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a
valid MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 61
The lines in question are:
Line 61 - mysql_select_db($database_conn_phh, $conn_phh);
$query_getSuccess = "SELECT * FROM horses WHERE status =
'Success Story' ORDER BY horse_barn ASC";
$getSuccess = mysql_query($query_getSuccess, $conn_phh) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_getSuccess = mysql_fetch_assoc($getSuccess);
$totalRows_getSuccess = mysql_num_rows($getSuccess);
All of the code is supplied by Dreamweaver. I did not tweak
the code. I'm not a web developer and what I have found out there
is still reading greek to me. My connection file is working and
connecting the database that I have tested.
Since the above code is throughout the site in one form or
another it's causing me major headaches. Any help would be
appreciated.

This is the first time I've used Adobe products so if the
following is in the wrong forum (It's the closest one I found so
far) or the format is incorrect please forgive me.
I'm new to Dreamweaver CS3 and as I was reading the "first
steps" it mentions to set up a Dreamweaver site right away. I got
as far as completing "Site Definition" page under the basic side of
the setup screen.
The next screen is "Do you want to work with server
Technology?"
There are 2 options - Yes or No. If you select yes a
drop-down menu appears with several options (but you can only
select one)...
Asp Javascript
Asp VbScript
Asp.net#
Asp.net Vb
Cold Fusion
JSP
Php MySql.
I know nothing about these format and brand new to web design
so I thought it best to contact GoDaddy (my hosting account) to
find out what their servers would support. I spoke to a tech rep
but she wasn't sure.
She did mention that I have a windows hosting account and Php
MySql would not work unless I changed to their Linux platform at no
additional charge.
The site I have in mind will design with CSS, Liquid layout,
have some flash, widgets, an inquiry form that clients complete and
results e-mailed to me, auto-responder, Paypal link and whatever
else I can discover from Dreamweaver.
My question being:
I haven't even begun designing my site because I do not know
what weather I should select the Yes option and select one of the
formats mentioned above (if so which one) - or select the No
option. If I do select the No option at the very beginning, will I
have problems with my site uploading and working correctly?
Thank you

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.)

Php mysql math error when using format(somenumber,2)

osx 10.5.2, php 5.2.5, mysql 5.0.51 (standard leopard desktop os install)
Select format(myField,2) as someNumber from myTable ...
returns data i would expect, formatted as you would expect.
while looping through the data returned i am calculating a running total.
for numeric values less than 1,000 results are expected. for numbers gt 1000, php seems to want to truncate the value at the comma. 1,111.11 evaluates to 1; 25,000 evaluates to 25.
If you remove the format() from the sql statement everything works the way you would expect.
wrapping the value returned in a floatval() had no effect.
I am posting this on the apple site rather than php/mysql forums on the off chance that this is a mac centric issue. googling the obvious combinations wasn't productive.

Sounds like a locale issue.
Many international formats use comma as the decimal separator, not the thousands.
There are many levels where this could be set. It could be an OS setting (you don't say where you or, or the locale information of your machine (System Preferences -> International -> Format). It could be in PHP (see: http://www.php.net/setlocale ), or it could be in the database (data could be written in a comma-based table).
It will take a little research to work out where your specific problem lies.

DW8.02 + php + mysql recordet issue

Am absolutely new to PHP and MySql having been using ASP
& MSSql for a
long while.
I have the latest versions of PHP and MySql installed which
would both
appear to be working correctly.
When I go to create a recordset in the usual manner - if I
press test I
can see the correct data, when I click OK to finish I get a
series of
JavaScipt errors "while executing findSeverBehaviours in
recordset.htm"
(line 53??) etc etc cannot find TomLR-PHP-AdvRS.htm
DW puts the code in the page, but the Bindings window remains
empty.
I've cleared the winfilecache - anyone got any other
suggestions??
TIA!!

Sounds like you haven't installed the mysql module.
I'm sure someone who knows much much more about it than me
will be
along in a moment.
However - possibly the easiest way to do it without getting
your hands
dirty is to delete and then reinstall PHP - make sure you do
the
detailed route and look out for the modules section and check
all the
MySql ones (sorry can't remember exactly what they were
called - I've
only done this twice - the first one I bodged up!) -
otherwise it's
trawl through your php.ini file and uncomment all the mysql
components
that you think you may need!

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.

PHP/mySQL code help please

Hi all,
Thanks to David Powers fab tutorial I am now well on my way to competeing my first dynamique website using PHP/mySQL, (thanks David ), however I am stuck on one particular area....can anyone please help?
I know that the mySQL database uses the format YYYY/MM/DD for dates, and that is fine. I've sorted out how to display in a more regular format (eg. 1st September 2011) for my application, but I am stuck on how to convert a more regular formatted date entered by the site user into the mySQL format.
Ideally I would like for the users entry or say either 1/9/11 or 1-9-11 (or something along those lines, to be recognised and displayed on the entry form, but to have a backend function that converts the data to mySQL format. I seem to be reading plenty of forum posts which say this can be done, but unfortunately I can't quite seem to fathom how, or where the code should sit. Would someone mind taking a look at my code page to actually identify what I need to insert, and equally as importantly...where!!!
Along these lines...is it possible to have a mini-calendar date picker that could be embedded next to the date entry field to ensure that a valid date is entered and in the correct format? Where could this be sourced?
Thanks in advance of some much needed help
Mark

This is becoming really frustrating for me (so god knows how I am to you!!!!), but I usually pick things up so fast and yet this whole PHP/SQL thing is eluding me!!
I can see (I think) how the code would work, but am struggling to see where it fits into place with my own Dreamweaver 'Update Record' code, as follows. I have spent a couple of days trawling through PHP.net and various other sites and forums before bringing my stupidity to the public domain, but I just can't seem to crack it.
This one last time then i'll leave you in peace??????
