Unable to connect to database

#1 (**permalink**) 04-13-2008, 02:51 AM

It seems that no one can give me an answer to that question!
After I created a ColdFusion datasource, and tell Dreamweaver where to find
the database file, I tried to insert a recordset, but the database does not
show the connection on panel.

Hi Geo,

I don't know about ColdFusion but in php you have a call to the datatbase as
the first statement of the sentence routine ..

<?php require_once('Connections/mydb.php'); ?>

This is before even the <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC statement

the mydb.php program is created automatically by Dreamweaver when you input
the connection info - it auto puts it in a folder called "Connections"... I
guess Coldfusion is similar.
I hope that is helpful and not leading you down the garden path - good luck.
Regards.
Patrick.

Dear patrick,
I think ColdFusion is not the same as PHP.
Thank you for your help,
Kindly,
