DW AND PHP

[xavy9000]

The author explains how to connect to mysql with PHP, however he doesn't explain what we have to so DW connects to the testing server The necessary info to fill out on DW I assume is:

my main question: what do we put on : testing server folder?

 

Testing Server

 

Server Model: PHP MySQL

 

Access: Local Network

 

Testing Server folder: ???????????????????????????????????

 

url prefix: http://localhost

EDIT: or this specific tutorial (this is probably the most useful resource of the three): http://www.extendstudio.com/blog/2010/03/how-to-make-a-testing-server-work/

None of the above worked, what worked was:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html

And I still think you guys should add a video, if I bought your videos I expected not to have to go somewhere else to find stuff (sorry had to vent!) I've lost not days, months!!!!!! trying to figure the above out, so please understand my frustration!

You might consider directing your comments to stefan [at] killersites.com, since he's in charge of the contents in the courses/videos.

 

If you've lost months over this issue, you really should have posted this question and gotten help earlier. Even if you couldn't get Dreamweaver to connect to the server correctly, you should have been able to continue learning PHP just without that live preview functionality.
