If you are a web developer and you are always looking for useful applications to help you in your hard work as a programmer, then you will find out that PHPMaker can help you a lot. This is a great application that will make your work easier when you have to create web applications and dynamic web pages with PHP. Specifically, PHPMaker is a script generator that will let you manipulate data bases easily. In other words, you will be able to generate quick control panels (written in PHP) for a MySQL database.
Before starting to work with PHPMaker you will need a MySQL database, either on your PC or on a web host. PHPMaker then will extract tables and fields information and generate PHP scripts instantly based on this information. The application will generate a list page, a view page, edit page, delete page and search page all linked up properly.
To sum up, PHPMaker was created to offer you a greater flexibility in your web development job. It has many features that will let you create your web application according to your needs.
