I haven't worked with symfony, but Dreamweaver's site-specific code hints work a treat with Zend Framework. There's a video on Adobe TV explaining how to set up site-specific code hints.

Hello,
Dreamweaver CS5.5 is a very wonderful IDE to develop web applications. I was wondering if I can use dreamweaver to customize applications developed in different frameworks like symfony. Please give me a link or tell me how I can customize such applications.

Thanks.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 uses mysql_pconnect() because the server behaviors are based on the original MySQL extension, not MySQLi. Apart from a few bug and security fixes, he server behaviors in Dreamweaver have remained essentially unchanged since 2002. I’m not an Adobe employee, but I’m in regular touch with the development team; and I get the feeling that server behaviors are very low down on their list of priorities. I don’t expect the server behaviors to be updated soon, maybe not ever.

Dreamweaver CS5 made massive improvements to support for PHP with full code hinting for PHP 5.2 (CS5.5 now supports PHP 5.3), code introspection, and autocompletion. Using site-specific code hints, you can now work in Dreamweaver with third-party frameworks, such as the Zend Framework and Symfony. The unspoken message coming from Adobe is that Dreamweaver offers support for a variety of web technologies to developers/designers who are willing to write their own code. The same policy has been applied to JavaScript. The Spry widgets haven’t been removed, but CS5.5 now has full code hinting for jQuery, opening up far more possibilities, but also requiring the developer to use his or her own skills. No software can hold your hand the whole way. Anyone who expects Dreamweaver to do so is using the wrong program.

Was wandering why, Dreamweaver 5.5 still uses mysql_pconnect and NOT mysqli when using the auto code generation (ie; databases, server bavahiors, bindings). I see your books cover mysqli, which is good.

David – I had been struggling for DAYS before I found your tutorial on the Adobe web site for installing PHP, mySQL, etc – it went like a breeze – so easy to follow it was a pleasure installing it. However, I have a problem and wonder whether you can tell me if there is a straight forward tutorial somewhere that you know about regarding using the mySQL and phpMyAdmin to allow one of my clients to update a page on her website without having to keep phoning me every day. I have seen sites where you type in the web address followed by ‘admin’ and it takes you to pages that the client can then update but I can’t seem to find the program – the phpMyAdmin site would be too confusing for her. I hope I haven’t waffled on too much and have made some sense. I would be great to have your feedback.
Thanks for making php more understandable to people like me who have never entered that world before!
Thanks
Nikwak

Thanks David for your quick response.
I will purchase ‘PHP Solutions, 2nd Edition’ a.s.a.p.

The total project will take me as far as I see it now, probably 3 to 6 month, because I like to learn the techiques too and not only following guidance.
