Dreamweaver CS4 and PHP
Hi,
One of my reasons for creating killerphp.com, was to make learning PHP easier for web designers. I also wanted to bring awareness to the web design community of the importance of PHP.
… I happen to think that PHP is a key technology in the web design stack, to the point that I believe that all web designers should learn at least some PHP.
That said, I thought it made sense to look at web design tools (such as Dreamweaver) to demonstrate how PHP works in that context.
So … I just released a 6 page article on soon to be released Dreamweaver CS4 detailing its’ PHP and database features.

Check it out: Dreamweaver CS4 Introduction to the PHP toolset.
I also plan on creating a bunch of supporting dreamweaver CS4 video tutorials to help fill in the details not covered in this chapter. I hope you find it useful.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Stefan Mischook

Thank you for the overview.
It seems an upgrade to CS4 is definitely recommended. Especially the feature to connect to MySQL-databases is very interesting.

The database features have been around for years btw.
