How to connect to a MySQL database in Dreamweaver

Unfortunately, that help document is out of date as are the deprected server behavior panels which were removed from Dreamweaver CC because the code is not secure and won''t work on servers running PHP 7x or higher. 

For building dynamic database driven sites in PHP & MySQLi (improved), you would need to code manually or buy a commercial extension like this one.   AFAIK, this extension works in all recent versions of Dreamweaver.

The first thing you need to determine is what server model you are going to be working with. Unfortunately most of the database tools from within DW do not exist anymore. So you are going to be looking at either hand coding or extensions from third parties to help you do this.

You need to be more precise in how your data is organized. You can have a look ito the link to get an idea:

What sort of data do you want to use Dreamweaver for?
