php generator wizard for mysql DBs

squibs · 30-06-2007 08:26PM #1

I need to quickly do a proof of concept on a database driven website. I know there are several wizard type programs out there that will process a mysql database and generate scripts to view, insert, update, delete records. Can anybody recommend a good one (preferably freeware, preferably generating clean code without styling built into the HTML so I can adapt later)?

PHPMyAdmin

Hmm - can phpmyadmin really generate php code?

Edit: from my original post it wasn't completely clear that that is what I wanted to do - the title says it but the body of my message doesn't really.

phpmyadmin is great at what it does, but it doesn't "generate" the code required; it actually "IS" the code required; there's a slight difference, in that phpmyadmin is a standalone application and you need to log in to phpmyadmin to do stuff.

Also, if some of the options are drop-down lists or images (or even relative fields) it won't handle this, only allowing you to enter details for each record.

At work at the mo - I have a good one downloaded at home and I'll check where you can get it from.

Thanks Liam - do let us know about the good one you have at home. Would much rather a recommedation from a competent coder who's had experience with a good 'un than trying to figure out the best of a bunch of 20 possibilities! That would take me longer than coding from scratch!
