Setup for Sample PHP
Site
Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 comes with sample PHP pages to let you
build a small web application. This chapter describes one way to set up the
sample application using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). For
more information on this web server, see
on page 231. If you're using a different web server, see
Up a Web Application" in Using Dreamweaver.
If you're a Macintosh user, you can either connect to a remote PHP server
or develop PHP sites locally using the Apache web server and PHP
application server installed with your operating system. For setup
information, see the following websites:

Setting up a web application is a three-step process. First, configure your
system. Second, define a Dreamweaver site. Third, connect the application
to your database. This setup guide follows this three-step process.
