Dionys Henzen: "Congratulations! Your MySQL PHP Generator is a great tool, that can save a lot of time and money to a developer! I'll evaluate for sure your software products when I need them. Great job".
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".

Master-Detail Presentations

Master-detail presentations allow you to view and edit records from master and detail data sources (like country/city) on a single page. So, browsing the page representing product information, you can, for example, see all the orders related to a certain product, add new orders, edit/delete existing orders, and so on; working with list of continents - to inspect countries of the specific continent as on the picture below.

 

 

You can also create nested master-detail presentations when you can see the "details of details". On the picture below the webpage with a list of continents is represented. For any continent all the corresponding countries may be browsed with a single click and at the same time it is possible to see cities of a certain country.

 

 

First 20 detail records can be previewed without opening a separate page. To see all the detail records, click the Full view link above the detail data grid. Alternatively you can access a detail page using the drop-down list on the right of the plus button.

 

 

Database schema requirements

To create a two-level master-detail presentation, you need two tables with a parent-child relationship. The foreign key constraints are not required but highly recommended to enforce the referential integrity at the database level.

 

Creating master-detail views

There are two ways to provide the result webpage with a master-detail presentation:

 

Automatic creation

If tables are linked with a foreign key and the Setup details by foreign key option is enabled, the first-level detail pages are created automatically.

 

 

Manual creation

If tables are NOT linked with a foreign key or the Setup details by foreign key option is disabled, you can create detail pages manually as described below. The same technique is applied for creating nested detail pages.

 

1. At the Page Management step of the wizard select a root-level page you want to create a detail page for or (for creating a nested detail page) select a detail page in the corresponding list.

 

2. Click the Add... button on the right of the detail page list to open Link Editor.

 

 

3. Select a detail data source (table, view, or query) and columns from the Master field and Detail field lists. Click Add to add a link condition (you can specify multiple columns from each list for a single link). Click Remove to delete a field pair.

 

 

4. Click OK to save changes and close Link Editor.
