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.
