Creating new database and tables

[Guest]

Hi. Is there any server behaviour to download for crating new databases and new tables in mysql?

Installing the deprecated Dreamweaver SB panels is only useful when using MySQLi Server Behaviors | Dreamweaver extension | WebAssist.

http://www.dmxzone.com/go/22151/database-connectivity-collection-php?utm_source=Extensions&utm_mediu... come with their own panels.

Further to that, you are encouraged to do your own coding. there are plenty of online resources to help you, Become a PHP Developer - Learning Path is one that comes to mind.

Thanks for the answer. I managed to create database in Dreamweaver with coding php file but I would rather prefer to make it through visual components like adding and updating rows. I hasn't worked with dreamweaver for a decade so I'm trying to get back on the road to accomplished my idea. The dmx looks alright and I will definitely try it. However I hoped the dreamweaver would offer the extension for free when they even scraped the option to buy full software.

Thanks again

That was one of my reasons for purchasing/using Dreamweaver in the first place. Since having acquired Dreamweaver, Adobe has done little to keep it properly updated. That era is now in the past and I have witnessed a real effort by the Dreamweaver team to try to get Dreamweaver back to where it should be. I have a feeling, that SB may be on the cards going forward. Fingers crossed.

I forgot to mention that I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 still as trial version. Does it mean that SB are not in latest version at all?

[BenPleysier]

Correct.

The code that the deprecated SB produces is not recognised in PHP 7, the current version of PHP.

The code produced by your SB version is MySQL, the new way of connecting to the db is by using MySQLi or PDO. Google the subject and you can find out more. I initially started out using MySQLi because I was led to believe that this was the way to go. Currently I use PDO because it has advantages over MySQLi.

I hope it all makes sense.

I wandered why I couldn't connect to my mysql database when I chose PHP7 in MAMP and it took a while to make it work by changing php version. I thought it has something to do with out-dated dreamweaver. So is there any option in latest Dreamweaver to use older php version with MySQL to makes SB works in my project and when Dreamweaver makes it compatible with the PHP7 then simply upgrade it to PHP7? I recon the SB is still in the latest dreamweaver but is not updated with the latest php version
