Overview

Learn by doing! Follow along, step-by-step, as you upgrade a static HTML site that uses obsolete code to an XML standard-compliant, CSS-formatted dynamic site using Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP), Macromedia ColdFusion, or the open source PHP. Create several integrated applications for a fictional travel tour operator, including a searchable listing for tour descriptions, country profiles, and a tour price calendar. In this official Macromedia guide, you’ll learn how to:

Use a relational database—Microsoft Access or MySQL—as the driving force behind a site

Use Dreamweaver’s built-in server behaviors and application objects to assist in the rapid development of dynamic Web applications

Read and hand-code ASP VBScript, ColdFusion Markup Language, and PHP scripts well enough to understand how dynamic Web pages work, troubleshoot errors, and customize scripts

Collect and manipulate user-entered data, performing calculations on the fly

Use SQL to pass information between your pages and the database

Validate forms using client-side and server-side scripts
