Connecting Dreamweaver to MySQL database

Hi,

I'm fairly new to all this PHP stuff, and up until the last few days didn't even realise that there was alternatives to a daunting install of appache in order to test php and mysql stuff offline.

I'm eager to learn php and mysql, but as a learning curve happy to let dreamweaver do some of the work to get me off the ground.

I want to test an offline site, using PHP with Mysql table records in it.

Can anyone tell me what information I need to put into dreamweaver to make the connection, in the "MySQL Connection" box
Connection Name - obviously whatever I call it?
MySQL Server - ?
Username - ?
Password - ?
Database - ?

Any help would be greatly appreciatted.



Regards

MySQL Server - localhost
Username - root
Password -
Database - Database_Name_Here

the default root user does not have a password set, so dont use a password. for security conserns though, you should add a password for the root user. if you dont know how, check out the the phpmyadmin tutorial in my wamp user guide (link is in my sig)
