Hello
I am totally new to programming and its taken me two weeks to get as far as installing PHP etc etc etc..

Anyway . I have got to the point where I have PHP installled aswell as MySQL and MY ODBC.
When I go through the tutorial to set up a new connection in Dreamweaver and press the test button..it says .. unindentified error. I have tried everything to get it to work.

When I set up My ODBC, and set up the DSN , and tested it..It says it correctly set up..i..e its fine..

Its just when i set it up in Dreamweaver, it doesnt work..
Neither does my live data preview work.. even though it works from the browser directly. MY php pages work.. outside Dreamweaver.
My local files are stored in C: and my remore files are stored in.. wwwroot/dreamweaverphp

I am using the tutorials files by the way.

Hope this makes sense.. can anyway talk me through a check list of what i need to do to get this tom work.

Thanks so much!

Hello,
Are you using Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 or Dreamweaver MX?
