What is MaxDB PHP Generator?

Is it possible to create web pages with html logos and navigation menus using your software?

Is it possible to edit php code generated by MaxDB PHP Generator?
Of course you can modify the generated code but we do not provide any support on this.
I installed MaxDB PHP Generator and generated a first script, but it produces just a blank page.

Add the following lines into the generated .php file (immediatelly after <?php):

Listing 1.
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');

Then run your script again to see a more useful error message.

When I try to access a generated PHP script file via my browser, I get the following error message: Warning: include(templates_c\%%56^567^567072C6%%page.tpl.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \libs\smartylibs\Smarty.class.php on line 1152.

Make sure that both templates_c folder and PHP temporary folder (session.save_path directive in php.ini) are writable by the web server user.

To determine which user account is used by Internet Information Services (IIS), follow these steps:

  1. In the Windows Start Menu choose "Run:", type "inetmgr" and click "OK";
  2. Expand the list of web sites under the "Web Sites" node in the tree view, right-click on a web site that is being used and select "Properties";
  3. Click the "Directory Security" tab;
  4. Take note of a "User name:" field in the "Authentication Methods" dialog.

Does your software support lookup options?

Yes, it does. Moreover, lookup menus are generated automatically if your database contains the appropriate foreign key constraints.

How can I determine the total number of records in the table/view/query using a PHP script created with your product?

Use the mouse hint for the page numbering area:
