  David,
  
  I use redirection to a personal page on page 515 of The Essential Guide to DWCS3 in the following form: $_SESSION [MM_Username] .php in the field "If the connection is successful.
  
  This does work for me the first time, that loading of the login page. I get a 404 error. However, it I click the back button and try it again it works. I have a hypothesis that the Session variable is used before the username, it draws from the DB, but I don't know enough to be sure. I tried to move the lines of variable assignment and he screwed up royally.
  
  This is performed on a live server. Below is my code that works if I hit the back button. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Thank you.

  Thank you for reminding me. There is a mistake in the book, I
  discovered during the Christmas period, if you forgot to send to friends of ED
  for the errata page.

  Do not use $_SESSION [MM_Username]. Use $loginUsername instead. He then worked.

• The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David Powers

  The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David powers:
  
  This book would help me learn more about Spry and Ajax and how applications may be lodged with them, if I have my e-commerce site works on a compiled C code cart (ShopSite) but supports scripts PHP server-side or is - this only for shopping carts based on PHP itself (like X-Cart)?
  
  I'm not sure. Someone please let me know if I can buy this book. Thank you.

  You don't need no prior knowledge of PHP or Ajax, but you must
  know the basics of HTML and CSS. As I say in the introduction, "You."
  don't need to be an expert, but do not have a curious mind.
  It teaches the basics of web site design, or he's trying to list
  each unique feature in Dreamweaver CS3. There are many other books
  to fill this gap. However, by working through this book, you will gain a
  in-depth knowledge of the most important features of Dreamweaver.

  The book provides detailed coverage of the features of Spry 1.4
  Dreamweaver CS3, which can be applied to any site. With minor
  adjustment, you can also use Spry 1.6. It is important to realize,
  However, the features of Spry/Ajax in Dreamweaver CS3 * cover of no
  asynchronous requests to the server. The ability to communicate
  asynchronously with the server has been added in Spry 1.6. If it has
  the asynchronous server calls and answers you are looking for, your
  programmer will need to dig into the documentation for Spry 1.6 on the
  Adobe Labs site and manually code it.

  The Spry features covered in the book are Spry, Spry UI widgets effects
  (menu accordion, tabbed and folding panels), Spry
  Widgets of validation and Spry XML data sets.

  Yes. All Spry techniques can be used on any web page. This is not

• OT: Question for author David powers

  Hi David Powers.
  
  I was wondering if I could order this book (as in "early" command) "PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy." When this work is published in the market? I think you had mentioned this a while back in the middle of November of this year (2006), no?
  
  Finally, I love your book, "PHP for Dreamweaver 8" and you've probably noticed that I'm recommending other participants your book several times already. Because it's a book excellent, excellent. I mean! Like no other! * hands down *.
  
  I really recommend that you wrote this book rather eloquencely a concise, clear and precise, to discuss or present information at all on PHP working around in/with DW8. Thank you very much, David Powers!
  
  Thank you, Brian, aka DWD

  "PHP Solutions" are available for pre-order on Amazon (and probably
  other online stores). The official publication date is November 20, and
  I understand that the book is on schedule. He was sent to the last printing
  Friday. You can see the details of what the book contains, together
  with direct links to some stores online, by visiting my site to the
  following address:

  http://foundationphp.com/phpsolutions/

  I would like to point out that there * not * a book of Dreamweaver. It emphasizes
  entirely on PHP coded manually. Some of these techniques in the book copy
  which is already automated for you by Dreamweaver. However, there is a
  a lot of other material that does not support Dreamweaver. So I hope
  Dreamweaver users will also find the book useful.

  It will also be published as an e-book (available through the Apress
  site). There is a special offer on the last page of the printed version
  for all those who want the printed and electronic versions.

  Online stores are displayed just in case any confusion, the
  book as having a purple cover, which is very different from that
  shown on my site. Purple cover was just a mockup out my
  editors several months ago. I expect they will get finally round
  showing actual coverage, which is a kind of matte gold - and in my opinion,
  much more enjoyable.

  the height of your expectations.

• same old same old: the appeal of David Powers

  It was interesting to watch and read comments recently about the tangle of DW with database-driven sites.

  I use DW CS6 (12.03) Mac with Mountain Lion and have installed MAMP and runnning.

  I'm done religiously tute David Powers here.

  Question:

  Why am I getting her "dynamically files cannot be resolved due to an internal error" when I go to the page with the Live button?

  The page displays empty... Laughing out loud

  Can someone tell me the possible cause?

  I wonder why Adobe has left this for 3 years when (after all updates) the message is still displayed and development stops.

  Are the defective tutorial files, or am I missing soemthing?

  David: can shed you some light on this please?

  In order to track the problem, I created a new site on my MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and followed the steps in the tutorial, using a new download of the files. Everything worked exactly as planned.

  After finishing, I checked the version of Dreamweaver CS6. It turned out to be the original 12.0. I tried to apply the update 12.03, but could not. So, I uninstalled and downloaded again CS6. However, because I have a subscription to creative cloud, when I have updated the program, he maintained at 12.2.

  Also, I copied your code of the forum and who was running. It also displays correctly.

  I don't know if there is a problem with CS6 12.03, but it seems highly unlikely because the files work fine in Dreamweaver CC as well, even if I do not have the server behavior extension installed.

  The unusual thing only I see in your screenshots is the wildcard: php_test in the privileges of phpMyAdmin. However, we should not make a difference because Dreamweaver must clearly connect seamlessly to your database.

  The only other thing I see as a possible cause is the server parameter in the site configuration dialog box. Make sure that the check box is selected, not away.

  

• Help with Adobe Dreamweaver tutorial (by David Powers)

  When you use Dreamweaver tutorial Adobe (create your first website by David Powers), I met my only problem to step 18 of the fourth part.  The insctruction is as follows:

  "Once you added properties to all the three rules, press F5 or click once in Design view to refresh the view.

  Look at what happened to the text. The h2 title has turned blue; the h3 title has been resized and now fits on a single line; and the text of the paragraph has been reduced in size (see Figure 16). »

  My problem is that changes to the text of the said does not happen.  Step 17 is a code to change the text as described above, and I entered the text, verbatum, checked several times (it was entered correctly).

  Here is a link to the fourth part tutorial): http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/Dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt4.html

  I had no problem until then and have done everything that the tutorial has loaded.  It is extremely detailed and everything that preceded eighteen number should be correct.

  Is that what the Cill problem someone please suggest me?

  Thank you.

  hello020 wrote:

  If it has been entered correctly, it will work as described. So, obviously there's a mistake somewhere. But as John pointed out, we must see what you've done to identify the problem.

  It would also help if you describe what happens. Say that something is not working is only half of the story. If something unexpected happens, that often gives a clue as to where the error is located.

  Common errors in the CSS are mix upward of colons and semicolons (or them leaving aside). You should also check that your opening and closing braces match. In addition, the color used in one of the rules is #00b4e1 . The first two characters after the sign of hash are zeros, and the last character is the number one. It's small errors that can make a big difference.

• Seek help from David powers once again, please

  David,
  
  I am using your drop-down list of the script files page 197 of PHP Solutions. I have adapted successfully to read a list of PDFs of my subdirectories. The list of files is not on a base of data, but read in directly from a subdirectory.
  
  However, for the life of me, I can't understand how actually do one load the PDF file. I tried every syntax/combination in the action property that I can think of with no luck.
  
  What I would do is either: 1) select the PDF in the drop down menu and then have it load in the browser or the 2) select the PDF fromt the drop down then press a button 'Download' and the file to load in the browser.
  
  Can you please help me understand this?

  It's the kind of mistake that you should be able to diagnose quickly by
  looking at the code coloring. The error is mine, because I was
  just by typing in a News Reader, but the cause becomes immediately visible
  in Dreamweaver code view, because several lines after the leak of slash
  became red. This means that the following lines are treated as
  part of the chain. A backslash before a single quote, it turns
  in a quotation mark in a string.

  The answer is to escape the backslash:

  > $filepath = ' C:\xampp\htdocs\Garrison\PDFs\'.$getfile;

  Should be this:

  $filepath = ' C:\xampp\htdocs\Garrison\PDFs\\'.$getfile;

  You can also use forward slashes for the separator of directory like this:

  $filepath = ' C:/xampp/htdocs/Garrison/PDFs/'.$getfile;

• Is this a problem re CONCAT: David Powers, or a problem of magic quotes...

  I tried to understand this with the posts (and some info on the site of David, etc.), and I can't seem to understand the real problem.
  
  I'm working on a tutorial and I can't know if the error message is correct and this is an incorrect encoding inserted by DW (and if so, I can't understand what it takes to correct) or
  
  If there is a problem with DW8.0.2 like what will fix the fix that seems so hard to get, or
  
  If this goes in the direction of an example of why magic quotes must be turned off and if so, where and how can I turn off the correct code, and if not, how could it be properly corrected?
  
  Here is the error message:
  Parse Error: parse error, unexpected '=' expected ', 'or')' in < dittos > on line 34.
  
  Here's the code that reference:
  32 $Search_rsSearch = "abc";
  33 cases (isset(#txtSearch#)) {}
  34 $Search_rsSearch = (get_magic_quotes_gpc())? #txtSearch #: addslashes(#txtSearch#);

  That will fix the part of your problem, but the error is caused by something

  # is one of the characters used to comment on the part of a PHP script. I have
  think you have received it in the Dreamweaver Help files, which
  damage especially on this point. The show the runtime value
  expression as #formFieldName #, which isn't a ColdFusion, PHP model. You
  need to replace #txtSearch # with something like $_GET ['search'] or
  $_POST ['search'].

  What makes matters worse, is that the code inserted by 8.0.2 without the
  fix is also incorrect. Line 34 should be something like this:

  $Search_rsSearch = $_GET ['search'];

  Line 37 is also wrong.

  > 37 $query_rsSearch = sprintf ("SELECT * FROM EmployeeStore ItemName WHERE AS")
  > CONCAT('%%', %s,)
  (' > ' %%') ", GetSQLValueString ($Search_rsSearch,"text"));

  It should be this:

  $query_rsSearch = sprintf ("SELECT * FROM EmployeeStore WHERE ItemName")
  LIKE "%s", GetSQLValueString ('%'. $Search_rsSearch.) '%', 'text'));

• Book of css David Powers OT

  Hello

  I just wanted to know if your css book is on target for you on 27 nov, or pushed, thx RJ

  I was told last week that the book was sent to the printing press, but I was not given a date of publication. The official date is still 27 November. Actual delivery could be a bit later, but it shouldn't be long now.

  I've worked hard on a site companion, which hopefully will go live in the next day or two.

• How does them mode chapter audio books?

  If I do the mp3s of my audiobook CD and load them on my Clip 2gig (with firmware 1.01.29a), what makes "mode chapter? No matter what? Or is this only valid/good if you listen to audio books in a different format?

  Thank you!

  For Audible mode chapter will pop you through the large audible section piecewise (in my experience the chapters of the book, not just not really different points in the book to navigate more easily).

  For mp3, overdrive etc. Chapter mode allows to use buttons to jump between the fwd/rew audiobook files and will allow the number of files in the upper part of the screen.

• David powers cs5 with php...

  I work through his book of class, and I came to the point where, in Chapter 4 you place the sidebar from right to left. Add when the prop 'margin left :-1180', he disappears completely no displacement to the right position. I tried up 118px more maximum and you can watch it slip to the left, but... any help would be appreciated.

  I had a hell of a time with the same problem and finally managed to do work.  In the previous step 12 where you set margin of make sure that you type the "'px" when you type 0 0 0 240px. "  This is what worked for me.

• Question for David Powers on a subset of records display

  David,

  I used your fantastic book, PHP Solutions to great success in the development of my own projects.

  My problem is in the rest of your approach to display a subset of the records in my database. In your book (page 333, php solution 12-4), you use the tables, and in my design, I am using CSS. Everything works fine if I display the record set, but when I want to limit the number of records displayed on a page, I can't make it work. I suspect that your method using the table is "autonomous" insofar as the table was created on the various parameters of the subset.

  I don't have an example of a line of code, rather I would like to find a resource that could help me shed some light on this problem. I have tried things for hours today, but can't achieve my goal to limit the quantity x of subsets per page.

  Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

  Sincerely,

  wordman

  The fact that the thumbnails are displayed in a table is not relevant. What controls the subset of records being retrieved from the base is the code in step 4 top of page 335.

  $startRow is the current page number (counted from 0) times SHOWMAX (the number of items to display on the page.

  Which translates the SQL on page 2 that said: ' SELECT * LIMIT 6, 6 IMAGES. ($startRow is 1 * 6).

• Problem of forgotten.php of Lesson08 of David powers

  I have a strange problem when running forgotten.php. The program works very well initially with the parameter mail_connector.php as below. I managed to send and receive e-mail. Everything works well initially. After a while, I found the problem by running the same program again. This time, it generates the error message ' opinion: index Underfined: [email protected] in c:\vhosts\phpcs5\lesson8\scripts\request_reset.php on line 25' and the message "no connection could also because the target machine actively refused it."

  No idea why?

  Mail_Connector.php

  <? PHP

  $mailhost = ' mail.agri - organica.com';

  $mailconfig = array ('auth' = > 'login',)

  'username' = > ' [email protected] ',

  ('password' = > 'password');

  $transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp ($mailhost, $mailconfig);

  Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport ($transport);

  If it works once, it should work all the time, unless there was a change on the code or the authentication of your mail settings.

  The error message indicates that the problem is at line 25 of request_reset.php, not Mail_Connector.php. The code example in the book on this line looks like this:

  $mail-> setFrom (' [email protected]', 'DW CS5 with PHP');

  Defines the header in the email. To prevent spammers from using the mail as a spam relay server, it is common to refuse messages that does not come from an authoritative source. You are logging on to the Server SMTP of agri - organica.com, but using a yahoo.com e-mail address in the header. I suspect that the server rejects mail because the header is not an address of agri - organica.com. change the address in the line 25 of request_reset.php to an address of agri - organica.com, and it will probably work.

• Question about password reset in lesson08 David Powers (Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP)

  I'm at page 299 that found a problem in reset password. I managed to received email link to reset the password. In the reset password form, why no verification of the length of password unmatch with password or password not entered confirmed? Instead, it displays the error message ' sorry, there was an error. Make sure that you used the complete URL in the email you received. The URL can be used to change your password only once. If necessary... "The error message of 'passwords do not match' or 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only' not treated."

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  It is a known error in the code in the book and on the CD. The correction was posted on my Web site at http://foundationphp.com/phpcs5/errata.php.

  The solution is simple. You must encapsulate the following line in a conditional statement:

  $_SESSION ['nomatch'] = TRUE;

  The modified code looks like this:

  If (! isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {}

  $_SESSION ['nomatch'] = TRUE;

  }

  Simple. You download the Zend Framework on your remote server and point $library to the new location.

  It is covered in Lesson 13 of the book (pages 468-469).
