Testimonials
David Lantz: "Thank you, this is by far the simplest, and most friendly utility for building db record system I have ever used. I wish I could get my systems guys at the office to purchase this for our company would be so very helpful and speed up a lot of work. I for one have used it for everything from a simple inventory record of my house, to a members record for my church just little pet projects and a test bed to test my own db builds and theories before having to hand code at the office..... it is a lot of fun to work with".
Peter Robinson: "As a tech savvy company director, I wanted an inexpensive web based database application to manage all aspects of my business. As with most humans I find developing purely by CLI very hard and do not have the will or time to invest in improving my skills. I was looking to find a nice human friendly GUI to design and build my application, which is when I came across PHP Generator for MySQL.

Whilst you still need a great understanding of logic and a small amount of programming ability to get the specific results you require, I am very happy with the speed of progress I have been making with this invaluable tool.

With all the standard libraries included, this product makes normal requirements such as JavaScript form validation, lookup selectors, on click events, auto complete, detailed searches, multiformat exports, rss feeds and username security straight forward and quick.

Having any changes made via the GUI written to the web server at the click of a button makes testing out ideas quick and easy without fear of breaking your application.

To conclude, I couldn't find any other product on the market that came close to offering the amount of options this does, and I do hope that more products like this come out in the future, with the hope of eventually eradicating the need to program all together".

I installed PHP Generator for MySQL and generated a first script, but it produces just a blank page.
Try to turn ON the "Force show PHP errors and warnings" option in the Project Settings dialog. Then refresh the page in the browser to see a more informative error message. It also makes sense to take a look at the web server logs.
Is it possible to execute a custom SQL query from an event handler?
Yes, it is possible for server side events. See the Developer Reference section in the manual for more information and examples.
After uploading of a generated project on my webserver I came up with this kind of error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in my_page.php on line XX.
The code produced by PHP Generator requires PHP 5.2 or higher. Please make sure you have installed the correct PHP version on your webserver.
Does your software support lookup options?
Yes, it does. Moreover, lookup menus are generated automatically if your database contains the appropriate foreign key constraints.
Is it possible to handle many-to-many relationships with PHP Generator for MySQL?
Yes. Please find a couple of examples in our Feature Demo.
What variables can I use in events and templates?
This is covered in the "Using Variables" section of the manual.
How can I determine the total number of records in the table/view/query using a PHP script created with your product?

Record number

Can I incorporate features provided by a third-party library in the script created by PHP Generator for MySQL?
Yes, PHP Generator allows you to activate third-party components. Find out details in the corresponding article.
How can I supply pages created by PHP Generator for MySQL with look and feel of an existing website?
The simplest way is to use the <iframe> tag. Live example.
Is there a way to add a new action link or button to link to a custom php page?
The current version of PHP Generator for MySQL doesn't support such feature directly, but there is a simple workaround: you can replace the original content of an existing data column with the required link or button using the OnCustomRenderColumn event. For example, to display the "Do something" link referencing to the dosomething.php script file instead of the original data stored in the 'data_field' column, specify the event body as follows:
Listing 1.
if ($fieldName == 'data_field')
{
   $customText = '<a href="dosomething.php?id=' .$rowData['id'] .'">Do something</a>';
   $handled = true;
}
In case your table has no column to replace, create a custom query based on this table with an additional stub column. Hopefully a more convenient support for row-level command buttons will be added within one of the next releases.
How to add a new link to the application menu?
The simplest way is to use the OnCustomizePageList event. It is also possible to provide a custom template as described in this article.
Is it possible to use variables within the lookup filter condition?
Yes. The correct syntax is as follows: owner_id = %CURRENT_USER_ID%.
I got the following error message: DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: Failed to parse time string at position 6: Unexpected character.
You have to specify the correct time zone in the php.ini file as described in the PHP manual.
I want to send an email notification after a user inserts or updates a record.
I set outgoing mail server settings, but emails are not sent
If you use Google Mail or Yahoo, please make sure you allowed sending mail via SMTP. Otherwise please contact your ISP for details.
Export to PDF does not work for me as I got the following error message: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted (tried to allocate Y bytes) in path_to_file\pdf_renderer.php on line Z.
I have a table with a column storing values computed from an expression that use other columns in the same table. How can I use OnbeforeInsertRecord and OnBeforeUpdateRecord events to add the values automatically?
Suppose, you have a table with the 'totalcost' column which values are calculated using the 'unit_cost' and 'quantity' column values. To fill the column automatically, use the following code at the OnBeforeInsertRecord and OnBeforeUpdateRecord events:

Listing 2.
$rowData['totalcost'] = $rowData['unit_cost'] * $rowData['quantity'];

What is the correct syntax for items containing spaces in Combobox and Radio Group editors?
It is as follows: "stored value 1=display value 1","stored value 2=display value 2". For example, 1=Small,2=Large,"3=Extra large".
Is it possible to display NULL values as empty strings?
What should I enter as 'host' when connecting to a MySQL server?

I want to connect to the server via SSH tunnel and I have a public-private key pair that works fine with PuTTY. However when I test the connection, I get an error message "Key is broken".

PuTTY uses its own format to store private keys while our products support private keys stored either in OpenSSH or ssh.com formats. To convert a private key from PuTTY's format to one of the formats acceptable by our software, use the PuTTYgen utility that can be freely downloaded from the PuTTY website.

I cannot upload files larger than 1M to my database. What to do?
You should setup correct values for the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize parameters in php.ini and max_allowed_packet MySQL variable.
