Recordset binding wont drag from panel into code or live php page

[paulc89302236]

DW 21.2 / 15523 in Win 11

I like to work in code/live split view. 

I have created a recordset (RS) in my php based on data in my locahost mysql database.

I want to insert a binding into my php page, however:

If i click into live view, the RS and binding grey out so i cant drag across.

If i click into code view the RS becomnes active (not grayed out) but if i try to drag into code view its nor permitted. 

This is not expcted behaviour. It used to work fine in DW versions prior to 21, now I dont see how i can place my binding!

What do i need to do to fulfil this requirement please?

well, I didn't used SB since DW CS somtehing for a tutorial... but I'm not sure that Drag & Drop was working in CC Live View.. Did you try on Display view ?

just curious , when you say that it use to work, was it in CC Live View?

Thanks for your reply.

I've switched to design view which allows the drag function. I can work with that!

I'm glad that it can help you.

it seems to me that during the prerelease that consisted of reintroducing SB in the CC version, the Adobe team had worked on the possibility of interacting with Live View from the IDE panels, but since then SB has been removed from DW again... so I don't know what state its work is in at this point on the very last build.

I hope you're NOT using the deprecated Server Behaviors Panels that Adobe removed from DW CC.  The old Server Behavior scripts use outdated MySQL connections that are a) not secure and b) not supported by servers running PHP 7 or higher. 

You should switch to a modern replacement. 

WebAssist's MySQLi (improved) extension is the closest to old server behavior panels.

Another option is manual coding with current MySQLi (improved) or PDO::_construct both of which work on servers running PHP 7 or higher.

I've been using using WA's MySQLi extentions for many years.

I'm running php v7.4

I've noticed many issues arising sine win 11 - whether coincidental i dont know.

i'm planning on reverteing to a stable version of Win 10 for the time being.

OK, good. 

Can you drag into DESIGN view? 

Did you reach out to Ray at WebAssist? 

I'm still using Win10 so I can't help you with Win 11.

[paulc89302236]

Yes, i can drag into Design view.

Ray is a legend.

I've been a WA community member and customer since 2008, Ray has helped me countless time.

The latest version of DataBridge is an awesome product.
