Hi Chris,
Thanks for your help.
Just an update, I managed to install wamp then switched off my IIS 8, and successfully configured myphpadmin.
I created a database in myphpadmin.
Then I managed to set up local, remote, testing site in my dreamweaver and get a mysql connection to my database.
I would like to ask is it possible that I can create a search textfield that will return results from my database.
In layman terms, when i type in the title of a book, it will come out with a result in title, author, publisher, ISBN, price, available stock from the database and display it in another page (I am not sure if it should be html or php)
Right now I just created a blank php file with a default search textfield and search button.
I guess that I have progressed further. I am looking forward to your advice. :)
