Question

Dreamweaver and ODBC

I am developing a website using PHP and MySQL on my MAC. I have this working via hand typing all code etc, with PHP connecting through the ODBC DSN I have created querying and my MySQL database.

Recently installed Dreamweaver as I want to do some more exciting stuff and want to know how I configure Dreamweaver to connect to my MySQL database through the ODBC DSN (as this is what I require for publishing the pages on my site). I have searched through help and can't find anything.

Also, can you reccomend any good books for MySQL, PHP, dreamweaver development, with Photoshop as well 🙂

You have to download and install MyOBDC in order to use MySql through OBDC.
You can get it at http://www.mysql.com

I actually have ActualTechnologies ODBC installed, and this works perfectly for me via my php code.

In dreamweaver, when I try to connect to a MySQL database I have no option to select an ODBC DSN. How do I configure Dreamweaver to use the SYSTEM DSN I have created to connect to the database.
