Hey All,

I've been avoiding using PHP and MYSQL for too long now simply because I cannot seem to get Dreamweaver to connect to the MySQL databases on the server.

Can anybody tell me how to do this or point to a site where I can follow some steps to learn how to do this?

Basically the info that I need to fill out is:

Connection name: (Self Explanatory)
MySQL Server: ???????
Username: (No Probs)
Password: (No Probs)
database: (No Probs...I Think)

Sorry for the simple question, but I really need to learn this. I have a number of projects that would greatly benfit from MySQL and PHP rather than a Windows Server.
