I'm aware that Dreamweaver has built-in tools for XHTML/CSS Web development, and also able to write PHP scripts. But does Dreamweaver have built-in PHP development tools to make it just as easy as XHTML/CSS development?
What tools does Dreamweaver have built...It has a full range of server behaviors and other tools that make it easy to create core dynamic pages in PHP, as well as ASP and ColdFusion. These include:
- Create connection to database
- Create recordset (simple or advanced)
- Binding panel - for dragging and dropping dynamic data on da page (had to keep the alliteration going ;-)
- Repeat region (for displying multiple records from a recordset)
- Insert record
- Update record
- Delete record
- Show region based on recordset empty or not empty
- Authentication routines for creating a log in page and protecting pages in your site
There are many other PHP specific tools. Of course, it will only take you so far, but you can build a very robust site just using the Dreamweaver dynamic toolset.
