MySQL databases can be managed with specialized applications that are meant to offer you a web based "graphical user interface". This web based GUI (graphical user interface) will simplify the database management operations such as adding, editing, view or search records.

When you do not have administrator privileges and on your webhosting account there is no application that will provide you with an interface for MySQL database administration, it is useful to define your own set of PHP files that will form the needed database interface.

PHP Generator for MySQL is a freeware Windows application that provides you with a wizard to generate PHP applications that have a MySQL database backend. It will create a set of PHP scripts that will allow you to manage any MySQL database on any web hosting account without the need of a preinstalled application for MySQL database manipulation, such as PHPMyAdmin.

PHP Generator for MySQL will automatically connect to the MySQL server and then you should select the database that needs a front end. This application also allows you to specify custom SQL queries and to select only certain tables from a given database.

Database table rows (fields) can be included or not in the final PHP application, with custom caption names for pages navigation menu and resulting grid. The templates used for PHP scripts are customizable directly from the PHP Generator for MySQL application or through CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) files. The generated PHP files can output menus, links and other dynamic text in your own language due to localization option included in PHP Generator for MySQL wizard.

The most important aspect in database front end generation is represented by security features available for database content access and protection on hierarchical levels. Practically, the login system can be defined for multiple users having various access levels.

The basic usage of PHP Generator for MySQL application wizard will lead to the creation of a set of custom PHP pages that will allow you to perform the management of a given MySQL database (add, edit, view, delete, search records and more). But PHP Generator for MySQL application has also other powerful features, such as the possibility to combine the administration of two or more MySQL databases from the same web based interface, allowing you to deploy custom PHP / MySQL applications without writing a single line of PHP code.
