    Hi Everyone!

    Quick question from a newbie - doing a website with members, login, database, admin etc when building the database does it have to be perfect before I link it to dreamweaver or can I alter it subsiquetly? Will changes update automatically if it is doable?

    Hope I`m makin sense, thanks!

    Justa quick note to make clear I mean like adding a table or something obviously not adding stuff to the tables which is the purpose in the first place.

    no, you can use Dreamweaver for developing in PHP too, you just need to set it up

    Hi theg81der - you use phpmyadmin to administer the database. You use DW to code your pages - in your pages you will open a db connection with your code and use sql statements to retrieve/insert/update/drop data or whatever you're doing - but your code will first just connect to the db as is ... I'm not sure how else to say it I hope you get what I'm saying.

    Basically yes you can connect to the database as is and work with the data either by using sql statements in your own php pages or by logging into phpmyadmin and doing it there.

    To be more precise - can I add tables afterwards?

    As previous reply states...
    you use phpmyadmin to play around with MySQL server... and dreamviewer is used for coding...

    there is no one stopping you from actually insert the queries in the PHP pages and manipulate database without phpmyadmin on the fly...

    for example.... you can have an html page where you can ask for a database name, table name and field name in a html form and when form is submitted you can catch the input in a PHP page and open SQL server connection and create database...

    phpmyadmin is an open sourse package which is collection of different html and PHP pages to manipulate the s server... that is all... you can do everything from MySQL console too or you can write your own version of phpmyadmin

    dreamviewer can be configured with your webserver on local or remote machine so it can display dynamic result of executed PHP page...

    hope my post makes things more clear...
