PHP db support was Re: [GENERAL] Dreamweaver

A long time ago, I wrote a DB Neutral set of routines which works with Oracle, Postgresql and, untested, MySQL. That just seemed to be the easiest thing to do, but I have not tried to plug it into Dreamweaver. PHP also has a module called dbx that allows you to do this as well. It has some serious performance advantages over the PEAR library because it is a module (written in C) rather than a bunch of PHP classes.

I haven't tried the combination PHP + PostgreSQL but my efforts
to get ColdFusion + PostgreSQL supported were rather unsuccessful
so far.
Well, some folks are certainly doing it, check out this blog entry:

If the support for MySQL is in the form of an Extension, is there a PostgreSQL equivalent as I have been contacted by one of our clients who has said, Do we povide MySQL ?, we dont. Oh! I am teaching myself PHP + MySQL using Dreamweaver and I wanted you to host the site :-( I use PHP + PosgreSQL alot. I'd love to be able to help people who have the impression that MySQL is all there is !! When the toolset they have only mentions MySQL it is easy to understand how they come to that conclusion. Usually Macromedia avoids to support anything good :-) You can however try to script the support into Dreamweaver using Javascript (most of DWs functionallity is written in Javascript) Regards Tino Wildenhain ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html

I haven't done much exploring of what is actually offered but wondered whether any one had tried to convince Macromedia to provide a PHP + PostgreSQL or at least a PHP + anydb. PHP has a shortcoming of NOT having a unified interface to any DB. MySQL uses one set of function calls, while PgSQL another. Yes, of course they could add support for another (very popular) DB. But I'd rather feel out their support for JSP/JDBC, which should be in :-) If the support for MySQL is in the form of an Extension, is there a PostgreSQL equivalent as I have been contacted by one of our clients who has said, Do we povide MySQL ?, we dont. Oh! I am teaching myself PHP + MySQL using Dreamweaver and I wanted you to host the site :-( The only unified interface offered by PHP, that I know of, is ODBC. I know there are build options to fuse some Java support in, but that is, IMHO, a waste of time and effort - not to mention resources.
