Hi

I have been using dreamweaver and connected to mysql by using the custom connection string as below

 

"driver={mysql}; database=databasenamehere;server=www.youraddress.com;uid=yourusername;pwd=yourpassword;"

 

use the driver on testing server option

 

click test hey presto

 

 I have been using db tools to connect and build tables etc and its free

www.dbtools.com.br/EN/index.php

 

hope this helps

 

Tony

Please can you explain how to go about creating the database connection?
How do I get to the custom string?
