Hello all. I appreciate any help that you can give.
Currently, I am developing a web site with NetObjects Fusion. I use NetObjects Fusion to make the site all pretty in HTML, and then change the extensions to .php and code it.
First question, is there a good HTML editor with PHP support?
Secondly, I need to make a dynamic layout depending upon columns in the MySQL database. Since I depend upon NetObjects Fusion to make the base layout, I need it to be able to make html pages according to entries in the database.
NetObjects can do this, and NetObjects calls it "stacked pages". The problem is, is that in order to create a page, NetObjects needs ODBC access to the database. My hosting provider has unixODBC loaded and enabled.
I tried loading the MySQL ODBC driver on my Windows box, and setting up a DSN to the DB. This did not work. I got a "could not connect to the database" error. Should I be able to do this? Is there any guides out there to do this? Also, If I can get the DSN set up on my windows box, when I publish the site to the host, do I need to set up a DSN on the remote host?
