Using iWeb to make a website that uses a mysql database

Hi there
i am trying to help out my friend. He has built a mysql database on his webserver, however he needs to create a page which allows him to filter and search through what is on the database.
at the moment he is trying to code the page himself but i am sure there is a program that he can use to create the user interface and link it to the mysql database, can iWEb do this?
or does anyone know of another website program that enables you to do this?

He will need to hand code it.
If you're intelligent enough to create a MySQL database in the first place, then you're clever enough to code the interface I highly doubt that there is any software that will help with only one part of it.

How to make a website for a MS SQL database?

I'm used to making static html websites, but now I shall make a website for a friend who has made a database (Microsoft SQL). So I shall make the layout, forms etc, and he provides the database. Can anyone please explain the prinsiples of making such a site, and how to connect it to the database?
PS: I've added the features "Server Behaviors", "Databases" and "Bindings" in my Dreamweaver CC, as they are not preinstalled.
Hope for help!

media="screen" or media="print" is part of a css link in the head of a page and allowed one set of rules for print and another set for screens.
It was the precursor to "Media Queries" which is what you're looking for.
Here's a good starting point for Media Queries...
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing-media-queries.html
Basically, you make one site in html, then 2 stylesheets that control the site depending on the viewer device. You use the pixel width of the device or browser window to determine which stylesheet is used. When they're on a desktop, stylesheet1 is used, when they move onto something smaller, stylesheet2 kicks in.
The basics are pretty simple, getting the most out of it takes practice.

Using two MySQL databases at once

I have a situation where one PHP page needs to access two
MySQL databases
for different functions (it's in integration thing). I don't
think I can
combine the databases because two different programs are set
up and using
them separately. Is there a way to do this without PHP
getting as confused
as it's getting? Obviously I'm no MySQL and PHP expert.....

I think I've got it. There might be other tweaks needed, but
I moved the
EasyPHPCalendar table into the same database as the Wordpress
table. With
luck (I'll know tomorrow when I mess with it) that should cut
the confusion
factor!

How to use non-MySQL database with DW and PHP...???

I need to connect to a data-source that is not MySQL from
with my PHP scripts. The only option I get under the Databases tab
in the Application panel is MySQL Connection. What about just
standard ODBC connections? Will DW not handle those for me? Do I
have to do all of that by hand??
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There once existed an opensource servermodel called phakt
that used the
ADODB database abstraction library,
the company that created and supported it was bought by Adobe
and
subsequently the project was cancelled.
A group of people (including me) started a community
initiative@
http://openphakt.sourceforge.net
to continue distribution and development of
phakt, but unfortunately I don't have access to Dreamweaver
CS3 due to lack
of funding.
Phakt will almost certainly NOT run on CS3 in it's current
state, but is
should support previous versions.

How can I use a mySQL database schema with numeric auto increment primary key instead of GUID?

Hello!
I'm using the TestStand "MySQL Insert (NI)" database schema with GUID as primary key. So everything works fine.
But I prever using numeric values as primary key, because the database is in conjunction with another database which uses numeric values as primary key.
Is this possible?
Has anyone an idea how I can modify the "Generic Recordset (NI)" for use with MySQL?
Thanks!
Configuration:
Microsoft Windows XP
TestStand 3.1
MySQL 4.1.12a
MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver
Brosig

Adam -
The TestStand Database Logging feature does not allow you to run a separate SQL command after executing the command for a statement(table), so I do not think that you can use an auto incrementing column for the tables. There is just no way to get it back in a generic way. One option that I tried is something similar to the Oracle schema where you call a store procedure to return a sequence ID for each record that you want to add.
So you would have to create the following sequence table in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE sequence (id INT NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO sequence VALUES (0);
Then create a stored procedure as shown below that will increment the sequence value and return it in a recordset:
CREATE PROCEDURE `getseqid`()
BEGIN
        UPDATE sequence SET id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id+1);
        SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();
END
Then update the MySQL tables to use INT primary and foreign key values, so the TestStand MySQL SQL file to create all tables would have text like this:
CREATE TABLE UUT_RESULT
ID    INT PRIMARY KEY,
~
CREATE TABLE STEP_RESULT
ID    INT PRIMARY KEY,
UUT_RESULT   INT NOT NULL,
~
Then update the schema primary and foreign key columns in the TestStand Database Options dialog box to be INT to match the table. For the primary key columns, you will have to set the Primary Key Type to "Get Value from Recordset" and set the Primary Key Command Text to "call getseqid()". This will call the stored procedure to determine the next value to use as the ID value.
Hope this helps...

I can't get my website to connect to mysql database hosted on my yahoo site

I used David Powers tutorials to build a CMS website in Dreamweaver using a testing site set up on my computer. I installed XAMPP and got it working on my computer. (I have a Windows 7 PC with Dreamweaver CS6)
Now I have installed the mysql database on my remote site following the instructions in the help section of Yahoo Small Business, where my website is hosted. I recreated the same database on the myPHPAdmin on my remote site. (If I understood what I found out when searching for a solution, Yahoo doesn't allow me to see the database from Dreamweaver. It seems that I have to make sure the connections are correct and then upload my site to the remote server. Then it should work once up)
Following the instructions I could find on Yahoo it seems that all I needed to do was make sure that the user name and password were the same as on my local computer and change the my Sql Server in the Server Connection in Dreamweaver CS6 to mysql instead of localhost, upload my website and it should connect. When I go to my webpage online I get "No database selected".
I know html, css, some php, and mysql.
I have been using Dreamweaver for approximatley 2 years and have created 2 successful websites for my husband, who is a photographer. He now wants to have a blog type news website and since I couldn't get Wordpress to do what he wanted to do I decided to create a CMS website. It works great on my computer, but now I need it to work on my remote site.
I know it's probably something really stupid that I have overlooked and I would really appreciate any help I could get.
I'm more than happy to learn whatever I need to learn to get this done. I have been searching all kinds of forums and I can find a lot of posts about this or a similar problem, but no solutions.
Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

I'm sorry, the way I wrote that was confusing. In mysql it suggested you create a new user that had limited access to access each database you created, rather than use the root user which had all permissions. So in both the mysql on my computer and the mysql on my website I created a user with the same username and password, so that when my website was on my remote server the username and password were the same as when I was testing it on my local computer.

Just looking at that part of your response, I don't get what they are asking you. Typically the remote host will require that you update the username/password and possibly SQL server. When you are in most shared environments, which is what I presume you are in, you typically have a username that is prefix_username. So you should be updating your script to match that information, not the other way around. Also with the "mysql instead of localhost" comment, you would only change the script from localhost to another server (ip address) if the mySQL server is not on your web server. If you host tells you this is true thent he value should be an IP address instead of localhost. Is that the case?
For the second part of your question in the "Why can't I access my database" help on Yahoo it says "If your PHP or Perl configuration files require a host name, you may have a problem with your host name. Make sure that you are using the host name mysql, not the default host name localhost." I assumed that meant that in the setup menu when establishing a server connection I needed to replace "localhost" as the mysql Server with "mysql" and then upload my website. This didn't work. Since the mysql server I am trying to access can be accessed using phpmyadmin at www.mywebsite.com/phpmyadmin this seemed to make sense to me. I think I might have managed to access the mysql server, but I'm not choosing the database I want correctly.

How to make and schedule backup tasks for MySQL Databases

Has NSS 322 this functionality? If not, are there any packages to do dat? I can´t see the folders that contain MySQL Databases, so I can´t backup them.
Many thanks in advance for your support.

All of the MySQL databases are visable within the phpMyAdmin application. phpMyAdmin can export, import, manage the databases directly.
To use the remote replication feature from the GUI, you need the databases visible in a share. I'm sure that is possible through the CLI, but I'm not able to tell you how to do it. Maybe someone else on the forum can help provide a solution.
You can also use the rsync command in the CLI directly.
Did you find any ideas on the phpMyAdmin website? This must be a common task that someone has worked out a solution for.

I am trying to put an iweb page on a website that already exist on godaddy

I have followed the steps given to me by both go daddy and iweb, but it is not showing up on my web site. the sight name is www.nakedsonproductions.com

It's not very clear what you expect to happen when someone goes to the site. Are you supposed to see the "front" page and then click on something to go to the "back" page? If so, there needs to be a hyperlink added to the front page. If you will clarify this perhaps someone can help.

How can I use iWeb to create website that contains a lot of downloadable audio files?

Hi
How to use iWeb to create a website that contains a downloadable audio files. I'm uloading about 15 GB of audio files. I need to creat folders "albums" and then put the files in these folders. Any advise?
Thank you very much for your time to this
W B

The important thing is not to put the audio files directly into iWeb: if you do that then every time iWeb decides it needs to upload the entire site you will find yourself uploading all 15GB of audio files, which won't make you happy. Start by uploading the files to the server - in folders as suits you - and then link to them in iWeb.
If you want them to download rather than play, you may be able to set up an .'htaccess' file in the folder which will force a download - it depends on whether your hosting service will allow this. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/download.html
Here is an example of a simple link which produces a download (without the process described the audio file would play in the browser in a blank page):
http://rfwilmut.net/stars/dawson2.mp3
Then all you need to do is to provide a link, designed however suits you, in your iWeb page. If your server won't allow the .htaccess file then you will have to ask visitors to control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the link and choose 'Download linked file' or equivalent - not so convenient; or otherwise zip the files first, which won't much reduce their size but will force a download (and of course the recipients will have to unzip them).
If you want the files to play in a player in the page, you can use an html snippet to provide a player as described in this page (you will also need to upload a script to the webspace - this is provided in the page):
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/qtembed.html

Need to design a website that loads files and creates inventory

I work for an engineering firm that would like to make a website that on one page you can upload PDF files to directories that would be named according to the project number that the user inputs. After that I would like another page that would be able to list all of these project and have a link that would allow for the PDF file to be viewed. Unfortunately I am very green to fancy website designs so any help of how to get started would be greatly appreciated.
Our Web server runs Apache 2 / MySQL and PHP
Thanks in advance.

I agree entirely.
However, as it happens, I have just added a PHP recipe to the Dreamweaver Cookbook that describes how to upload images to a website. The principle behind uploading PDF files is identical. All that you need to change is the test for the MIME type. The recipe can be found here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Need_code_to_upload_image-16389.html.

Using mysql database on another machine without having mysql installed

Hi...
I was wondering whether its possible to copy a Mysql database that I have created on my machine, take it to another machine which does not have Mysql command line stuff installed and use my own JDBC connection to the copied mysql database and start manipulating my data. I don't know if this is possible or not ..
The main purpose of doing this is I am creating a Java program which uses a Mysql database and I want to know if I give it to someone else to use it do they have to install Mysql and all the package or can they simply start using it.
Thanks a lot

I don't know if this is possible or not ..No. Not only would it be in violation of the terms of your license, but a MySQL database is a client/server type setup. No MySQL binaries, no server, your client (jdbc) cannot connect.im just curious because im new to mysql myself, but what do you mean that its a violation of his license?
do you mean for the commercial version?If he licenses his application under GPL, okay, no problem. Otherwise I read this quote
Free use for those who never copy, modify or distribute. As long as you never distribute the MySQL Software in any way, you are free to use it for powering your application, irrespective of whether your application is under GPL license or not.
to mean that you are not allowed to distribute MySQL (or any part of it, unless your application is GPL licensed) with your application, and if he distributes even just the data directory, he is distributing at least a part of MySQL.
Other's may not see it that way, but do you want to take the chance?The critical element is the word distribute. If he tries to embed MySQL in the application he is giving to his users, he's distributing it. Hence a violation of the license. That does not in any way prevent him from including scripts that when the application is installed goes out and runs the script on the user's installation of MySQL and builds the databases and whatnot his application needs on their MySQL installation.
Now, for the OP. If all you're keeping up with is urls and such and you don't have hundreds of them. I wouldn't bother with a db at all. a properties file would actually serve your purposes, and xml would suit just fine. Of course you'd have to have access to the file system and such but no licensing issues at all.

Can I make another website using iWeb,then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb

Can I make another website using iWeb, and then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb, even though I have a website published on mobile me, can I just use the SMTP engine to publish a different site but to a different server, that's the question I'm asking. I'm hoping for a quick reply. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Yes. You can do it one of two ways:
1 - select FTP Server in the Publish To menu (click on the site folder to get to the options) and enter the FTP address, username and password and publish as you would if using MMe.
2 - select Publish to Folder and publish. Use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck to upload the site files to there server using the FTP address, etc.

Can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver?

can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver? How would I do this? I didn't create the site and don't know Dreamweaver, but I figure I could learn iWeb quickly.

No, iWeb cannot open or change existing sites no matter what other program created them.

Using iWeb 09 to create website for showreel and videos

Hello,
I'm an independent film maker and I am looking to set up my own website to show my work on. Seeing how iWeb 09 finally allows you to publish your website to a host via FTP, I wondered if anyone could answer some questions for me - I have googled some stuff but have not come up with any satisfactory answers.
Okay, so basically I want a really simple website - incredibly simple in fact. All I want to do is have live streaming video (like the movie trailers on apples movie trailer website) for my own films. Of course, I want the videos to be of the highest quality (with some HD stuff as well). I have found a web host that offers unlimited web-space and bandwidth/traffic for a very cheap price each month, so is it simply a case of dragging a QT movie file into iWeb 09, publish it via FTP, and hey presto, people can view my films in high quality on the web? Is it really that simple or is there a catch?
Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
Many, many thanks if you can clear up these queries for me, as I cannot seem to find any clear info anywhere else.
George
P.S. I will be using FCP, not iMovie, to create and export films. Since they can both export QT files, I presume this will not be a problem?

George ~ Yes, there's a catch. Your videos will become part of iWeb's Domain file which may make it slow to open in iWeb, make backups and re-publish everything (if needed). Better to upload your videos separately to your server and embed them into your iWeb site.
iWeb '09 makes this easy if you upload your videos to YouTube: iWeb '09 has a new YouTube widget to embed your videos into your iWeb page:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#widgets
...For high definition video, YouTube was recently ranked the best of several video sites:
Which HD video Web service is the best?
See also this article:
YouTube officially enables HQ in embedded videos
Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
If you're concerned that some PC users won't have QT and won't want to install it, I think if you go the embedded YouTube route, almost all PC or Mac users will be able to view your videos — because "videos on YouTube are streamed through an Adobe Flash player."
If you'd prefer to use Flash in iWeb, this article may help:

Is there a workaround for websites that use "frames" when Safari does not support?

Is there a workaround for a website that requires "frames" when Safari (5.0.6) does not support it?

Has anyone found a work-around for this that works?
No. Any attempt to use an unsupported network device with Time Machine will probably result in data loss, even if it seems to be working at first. If you take data protection seriously, you won't try.
Is it possible to get Time Machine to use SMB to make the backups?
No.
