About PHP database connections
For PHP development, Dreamweaver only supports the MySQL database system. Other database systems such as
Microsoft Access or Oracle are not supported. MySQL is open-source software you can download for free from the
Internet for non-commercial use. For more information, see the MySQL website at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ .
This section assumes you have set up a PHP application. It also assumes a MySQL database is set up on your local
computer or on a system to which you have network or FTP access.
For development purposes, download and install the Windows Essentials version of the MySQL database server.
Connect to a database
To connect to a database when developing a PHP application in Dreamweaver, you must have one or more MySQL
databases and the MySQL server must be started.
1 Open a PHP page in Dreamweaver, and then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases).
