Would need some more information first Harrison. Like what is not working? What errors are you getting? What is your code?

Give me these and details and we can work it out together.

Thanks Adam, On the training video, i was asked to download project file to follow the training which i did but i couldn't find the codes which i was instructed to paste somewhere in mysql (i.e creation of database products table), i think i will be able to follow the video if i can have those codes for database. Please how do i get it?

Hi Harrison,

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for specifically but from your reply to Adam, I'm assuming that you're looking for the SQL code to execute and thus create the database products table. Here is the link:

Thanks Derrick, I attempted to use the codes as the video instructed but it says "something is missing"

Besides the that code please how do i connect php using dreamweaver to Mysql using xampp?

I will be more than happy if this is answered and worked for me.

Thanks
