When I wrote the PHP/MySQL tutorials for Dreamweaver XAMPP seemed to work fine. However, development of the Mac version seems to have stalled, so I'm recommending Mac users to use MAMP instead. You can download it from the <a href="http://www.mamp.info/" rel="nofollow">MAMP Website</a>. Carmine,

I want just to let you know that the application XAMPP does not seem to work on Mac OS X (I downloaded it, but the application seems to be a Classic Application... (it is actually named "mamppstart.app"). In any case a similar application named mamppstack 5.5 seems to the same thing. regards. Great book thanks!

Yes DW8 is OK with PHP 5.0--everything related to Dreamewaver's PHP/MySQL tools works with 5; it's just that with version 5.1.4 of PHP a few things DON'T work...most notably the XSLT/XML stuff I discuss in Chapter 24 of my book. Hal,

Still the same DW problem as with 5.1.4? I see the Adobe website says DW8 is ok with 5.0.x. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=98dd5a1#svrmodels I've got a PHP 5.0.0 version so I'll try that for testing. I have not been able to find a 4.3.x to download - everything now available for download is PHP 5.x.x Agree - great book!

In PHP 5, XML support is built-in, but it's optional with PHP 4. There's a good artcle on the Adobe site explaining how to setup XML support for PHP: <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/config_php_xslt.html " rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/config_php_xslt.html</a>. However, you usually don't have control over your PHP installation at a Web Hosting company. So if XML support isn't enabled at your Web host (the article mentioned above shows you how to find out), then request your Web host to add it, or find a different hosting company. Hi Riley,

They claim to have an extension but it is not on the site...hence likely that is a bogus statement. I'll try emailing them but I guess I'll need to do this on IIS. Great book thanks!
