Hello, I am using the recordset option to connect my PHP. Am trying to define the connection by doing the following:
Connection Name: Test
MySQL server: ________ I believe this is where the problem is, my provider ixwebhosting provides me with a host name, and my databases name is skittle_test. I don’t know what to put here as nothing I use will connect. The FTP server has connected fine so I do not know what is going on!

“Dreamweaver MX” has a huge problem that it does not allow odbc connection with PHP.
======================================…
Dreamweaver provides you with string templates to create OLE DB connection strings for ASP.NET applications (see Creating an ASP.NET database connection in Dreamweaver). To create a connection string, you replace placeholders in the template with the requested parameter values. This section gives sample parameters for Microsoft Access and SQL Server databases.
Note: For the parameter values specific to other databases, see the database vendor’s documentation or consult your system administrator.
Case 1: You use the .NET Framework on a networked development server called Savant and you want to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database called pubs on the
server. Your SQL Server user name is “sa” and there is no password.
If you use the Managed Data Provider for SQL Server (that is, if you chose SQL Connection in the Databases panel), here are the parameters to create the connection string:
Data Source=Savant;
Initial Catalog=pubs;
User ID=sa;
Password=;
Hope this helps.
Try using localhost as the MySQL server name.
