Cannot find the 'bindings' tab for a form in Adobe Dreamweaver 2017

Hi!

I am a new developer and trying to code a simple online registration page - I have made a form with fill-in text boxes for each section of my form I wish someone to register to my page with - first name, last name, email, username, password, and a submit button.

I am following a youtube tutorial to make a online registration and "sign in/sign out" site, and I have set up a myphp database to go along. Here is my issue - in the tutorial the man is using an older and much-different version of Dreamweaver and in the tutorial he states to go the 'bindings' tab for the form and then select the option to 'save the data'.

I do not have a bindings tab on the right-sidebar where he has it and I am wondering if it is buried somewhere in the options or I am doing something completely wrong.

One thing I don't have is my Dreamweaver attached to a server in the 'site options' so I am wondering if this may be the issue.

I apologize for my terms as I am new to coding and am unfamiliar with the jargon used by developers!

Thanks for any help you may give!

There isn't one in the default installation of DW anymore.

Adobe removed the server behaviors/database binding functions a few years ago because the code was outdated and won't work in the latest versions of PHP installed on hosting servers. Rather than update it themselves, Adobe now relies on third party extension developers, like DMXZone, to create them as paid add-ons to the program.

If you are a paid subscriber, you "could" download DWCS6 from the CC Desktop App and activate the deprecated server behaviors panel in that version, but that won't fix the issue of the code not working in PHP 7+.
