Integrating DreamWeaver and PHP.
Integrating DreamWeaver and PHP
Since this came out a week ago (I feel so behind!), I suspect a lot of you have seen this but for those that haven't, here's a good article on DreamWeaver and PHP:
… but MX finally offered a simple tool for rapidly building database-driven sites using two widely-supported open source technologies: PHP and MySQL.
Unfortunately, if you've used Dreamweaver MX to build ASP, ColdFusion, or JSP sites, you'll notice that the program's PHP offerings fall a bit short. Some standard features, such as password-protecting web pages, or options for formatting dates and numbers, are missing from Dreamweaver's PHP server model. To add insult to injury, if you want to get some of that missing functionality, you'll have to shell out $99 for Macromedia's Developer Resource Kit Volume 2–an add-on that also includes new tools for other Macromedia products such as Flash, Fireworks, and ColdFusion MX.
But there's no need to settle for less, or shell out money for features that should have come with the program. With a little time spent browsing the web, you'll be able to bring Dreamweaver's PHP support up to speed, for free. [_Go_] (emphasis mine)
Note: I'm not a DreamWeaver fan or user as the UI gives me hives so I can't comment in detail on it but it seems right.
