Membership problems in cs3

I am trying to set up a registration, log on, log off, activation of a persons account and access to membership pages only. I am using dreamweaver cs3 with wamp and mysql. I can write all the relevent html and the database items in phpmyadmin. What i really need to know is how  I get the two to communicate with each other. It all seems to go wrong if I review it in the firefox browser.

Your help on this is greatly appreciated

Which PHP version do you have on your servers -- remote & testing?  Modern PHP is not compatible with the deprecated server behaviors panels.  The code is too old.  If you can't code manually, there are commercial extensions you can buy from Web Assist or DMX Zone to help you.   Although I'm not entirely sure they work on CS3 which is 10 years old now.

Have a look at the thread linked below, specifically answer No. 3. It might get you some way to where you want to go or at least point you in the right direction.

How do I create a login page with Dreamweaver CC 2017

In DWCS3 you will have access to the server behaviours panel to connect and get data from a database in Dreamweaver BUT these behaviours are out of date as they use 'mysql' and I don't advise that you use them. Use mysqli (note the additional 'i') as the answer in No. 3 of the thread mentioned uses.

That way you can be assured of no compatibility issues going forward.

PHP is the link between your HTML and the data. The book PHP Solutions by Powers is a good place to learn about this.
