How do I set up a product catalog page in Dreamweaver CS3, PHP MySQL?

Question

Hi everyone,I am using MAMP 1.7, Mac Book pro Leopard 10.5.6 and Dreamweaver CS3.Are there any good tutorials that explain how to set up product catalog pages, for a photography web site?I want to display images from a MySQL database and link them to  PayPal buttons.My images are stored in a MySQL database as image file names not as BLOBS or the full URL.I have looked on the web, but the tutorials I have found are patchy at best. I was also reading David Powers book The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3, PHP and AJAX, I was looking at the last three chapters about Spry and photo galleries, but I'm not sure if this approriate for what I want to do?Can anyone help me please.Thankyou in advance.

David's book is a good place to start. This is really far more involved that can be covered in this forum. You'll need to get familiar with a database, most likely MySQL, PHP, how to send requests tot he database - queries - and most likely maintain a state with Sessions. As you can see, it's a bit involved. The good news is this skills you'll acquire to do this will go a long way! It will cover all the basic requirements of web application development.

Dive in, and have fun!
