Mysql in dreamweaver

[roxy_taylor]

It says that all I have to do to setup the MYSQL database connection in dreamweaver is to go to the + sign under databases and select mysql connection to create my connection to the database. Well in my version of dreamweaver cs3 that is not one of my choices. I get Custom connection string or Data Souce Name (DSN) how do I get my cs3 to let me choose mysql as one of the connections?????

Have you set up your testing server and saved your files as PHP or ColdFuion fiels?  Database options will not be available of you are just working on a .htm page or non dynamic site.

ASP/MySQL is not a supported server model in DW.  If you want to use that combination, you will need to code the application by hand.
