MYSQLI (PDO) and MSQL

Sorry Dreamweaver dropped the ball many years back, poor management or lack of interest, false promises of introducing new database server behaviours failed to materialise, that killed the program stone-dead whilst the 'uneducated' wasted time on introduicng other failed rubbish, instead of concentrating efforts in the areas where it once excelled. The legacy of DW will be one of a once innovative editor in the hands of the right people, driven into the ground in the hands of those without a clue, sound familar - buy it up and trash it. Leaves a bitter taste in the mouth for those that had used it for years or are still using it.

On a more positive note you can of course buy expensive 3rd party extensions which will give you access to sqli or pdo or failing that you can write your own code. These days Dreamweaver is just a simple over-priced html editor in my opinion, the rest you have to either buy add-ons or write yourself.

Think Im being harsh, well maybe so but even Adobe acknowledge its lack of interset in the web sector as they recomended using VS Code when they killed Brackets, another very innovative project in my opinion, which eventually met a dead end, sound familar.

Hi @Operacional23,

Get the commercial extension from WebAssist -- MySQLi Server Behaviors

http://www.webassist.com/dreamweaver-server-behaviors

Example of a MySQLi connection string.  Copy & paste this into a new, blank PHP document.  Save as test.php and run it on a server.

<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","your_username","your_password","database_name");

// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
  {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
		}
		else echo "Successfully connected, happy coding!"
?> 

<?php phpinfo() ?>
