PHP MySQL code generator
8 years ago, at the start of my exploration into PHP and MySQL, I soon learnt that building a website using these languages involved a huge amount of repetition. The process of adding, editing, listing and even deleting database data - information in the form of strings would have to be passed from page to page and processed in a predictable manner.
Coding these processes with PHP and MySQL soon becomes a thankless task and very time consuming. Even if you were to rely on heavy ‘Cut & Paste’, you ‘re still required to tweak every string, value and field to match your current table or output.
Quick & easy code creation – Let the code write itself!
About 4 years into my journey, I thought ‘enough’s-enough’, time to get my code writing itself so I can put my feet up. So, using PHP, I created a PHP and MySQL code generator. I wanted it to be simple, but flexible enough to handle the bulk of my day to day work. Okay, I couldn’t get it to do everything, like come up with an amazing website design, or handle complex arrays and database joins. I could get it to cover the usual repetitive parts of being a PHP/MySQL coder that after a while start to drag a little. After it’s completion, I was amazed on how quickly I could now put a decent data-driven website together. Time is money if you do this for a living.
Free for personal & commercial use!
Well, I’ve found this PHP & MySQL generator to be of immense value. It’s not all singing and dancing and will only offer a foundation for your code-life; you will have to add all of the bells and whistles yourself. But, it will save you a huge amount of time and (if you are a beginner-developer) then it is a fine tool for exploring the relationships between the front and back-end of a website and the database table.
Many years on, I’m still using it on a regular basis. I hope you enjoy using it!
