Given that Dreamweaver MX 2004 is out, can you comment on whether PHP support is better or whether any of the steps you go through change with the new version? I do have a copy of DWMX2004 and I know that the Properties and Insert panels have changed in appearance and to some degree functionality. Also, the Answers panel does not exist anymore.

Yes I think it's a little late for this article. It should have been over MX 2k4.

MX2k4 has the addition of user authentication behaviors, more modern PHP code style (ie $_POST[''] instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS['']) and a built in PHP reference.

Perhaps the article title could have been in bolder print. Then nobody who wanted to read about 2004 would have been disapointed 'cuz they would have skipped it.
I thought the article was fantastic! It was the most lucid, comprehensive yet concise piece of writing I've seen to date that covers the MX/PHP deal. Looks like I'm in the minority but I say *excellent* article.

Good article on a topic that's difficult to keep concise. Personally, I don't think Dreamweaver MX is up to the task as a click-n-drag application developer. Real-world applications deal with table joins, multiple queries per page, session management, form variable validation, etc. and unless I'm much mistaken, hand-coding is still essential. But it's an interesting direction and I'll be keeping my eye out for how MX 2004, 2005,... develop.

Pretty nicely explained, and all above stands for examining the possibilites of Dreamweaver MX's cohesion functions with PHP. And the things written in the article are true for easily building a small, simple dynamic website with few tables and simple queries - with not much programming skills needed. BUT using these MX features disable utilizing more advanced conventions like PEAR, Smarty etc., and after a while one should definitely come to the boundaries of MX where built in functions are simply not enough and need more - and then runs into bunch of generated code which is difficult to modify.
I myself use MX for website development, but I wouldn't recommend these built-in functions explained to use for more complex website.
On the other hand, MX has some really excellent features which suite for all programmers, like it's site management, and separated code/design editor.

Hi. I am a new user to PHP, and for that sakes HTML. I think this is nicely done, perhaps the best website I have found for PHP/MySQL on Dreamweaver. However there is one thing I have not understood (probably only to do with me, sorry) How to link things in PHP.
If I have a table, and displaying information on the front page of the site. And I want a link, connecting to the rest of the article. probalby the same way this is site is written. go to next and so on, without coding manually each page. how do I tell dreamweaver how to do this???
