About phpScaffold

phpScaffold quickly generates simple CRUD scaffold modules for PHP/MySQL. It
takes a project name and a schema dump from a browser session, and cooks HTML5
pages for editing it’s tables.

It features session based authentication; searching, sorting and paging
facilities in listing page; and the generated forms responds to column types
text, date, datetime, (var)char and bool (int(1)).

I’ve started it from the public copy at phpscaffold.com, to be able to use it
in any new simple model I need, without having to tweak by hand automatable
tasks (id est, for no more reinventing wheels!).

Installation and usage

1. Go to index.php, and seed the form with your schema dump.
2. You can go to tmp/table_name/ to grab/test the files
   (make sure that tmp/ has write permissions for the web server).
3. Adjust MySQL info and users (by default it’s ‘admin’, ‘pass’) from inc.config.inc.
4. Start using it!

Some comments

The table must be up and running; phpScaffold doesn’t change anything in the database.

You may add text search criteria adding ‘text’ as third parameter to search_options (in search page).

To do list

• When saving an entry, if has position attribute, it forgets it in the REPLACE?
• Errors on tables without primary key.
• date and datetime fields shouldn’t be surrounded by <legend>.
• Distinguish between int and char columns, to tie text/number search options automatically.
• Date/date-range search.
• Upload files capability?
• showEmpty option for build_options().
