Hello,
I am using Yahoo for my hosting service. They do not allow remote access to the database on there server. B/c I rely alot on Dreamweaver mx alot for building php pages to allow my cust to access the database I need to set up a mysql connection in Dreamweaver. I have installed mysql and php on my computer. I built a database w/ a simple table just to have to test the connection. Anyway, when I try to connect thru Dreamweaver in the database panel it gives me an unknown error. I cant figure out why! I thank any one who can assist me w/this.

Thank you,
Manda

An idea for you would be to have your database designed locallly and then export it to your webhost where can be deployed. If you have to make any change sto your live db, then you can expoert it to your local db. I don't use PHP, but I know that you can do this. That way you still work on Dreamweaver and php/MySQL the only problem would be you cannot work live. Otherwise, perhpas changing webhost would be more sensible.

Hope it helps.
