I've been trying to create a dynamic webpage that updates a MySQl database, using Dreamweaver with PHP. I installed PHP 5 with a manual installation following all directions. I'm using the IIS server. I followed all the directions about setting up the extensions, and I'm also using the MySQL/PHP connectors (no MySqli). Every time I go to dreamweaver to connect to the database it says an unexpected error has occured, but it shows the connection without my database.

me too had the same problem,the only solution i hv is as ur pc is already a server download and install mysql on ur machine and create a table structure and username and password all matching to ur db on remote host,test to ur hearts content and then upload the scripts.all should go fine .there are some issues u will have to tackle with mysql,also remeber to download the gui tool its quite useful.and set password from the command line ,cos they changed some hashing algo and blah blah........,so a lil pain but sure shot solution.
