Connecting FP03 to MySQL database

[Guest]

My web host includes MySQL. I have created FP03 Forms on my web page. I have
set up corresponding Fields in a Table in MySQL, First Name, Last Name,
Address, City, State, Zip, etc.
My web host won't give me guidance with FrontPage, so how do I my Forms
connect with my databse (Mysql)? What is the next step?
Thanks.

What scripting language is support by your host? FP can only create connections using ASP / ASP.net,
any other have to be create by you manually.

Hi Chris,

FP3 does not work with MySQL databases.

You CAN use FP2003 to connect to a MySQL database if your ISP sets up an ODBC
connection for you that points at your database. Then you must use ASP to
connect to the ODBC connection to mainipulate your data.

Sure but you can not use the DRW or DIW to work with a MySQL database. Therefore, FP is not connecting to the database.

DRW appears to work nicely with MySQL, though I do have issues with the DIW
(but I have yet to read the manual for mySQL, so the database tables could
be badly set up)

see www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/mysql/ for an example.
