Hello,
I am using Yahoo for my hosting service. They do not allow remote access to the database on there server. B/c I rely alot on Dreamweaver mx alot for building php pages to allow my cust to access the database I need to set up a mysql connection in Dreamweaver. I have installed mysql and php on my computer. I built a database w/ a simple table just to have to test the connection. Anyway, when I try to connect thru Dreamweaver in the database panel it gives me an unknown error. I cant figure out why! I thank any one who can assist me w/this.

Thank you,
Manda

Read you manual, go online, whatever, because attaching to mysql is
doable. Once you find the stones, it is no problem however the first
time can be a real headache.
