I need a very simple PHP database front-end admin panel; a simple records editor for a specified table

Question

Hi there,

I am looking to add some dynamics to our corporate website. This is a secondary role so I'd rather not be spending a ton of time on it.

At this point, all I need is a simple PHP script where a non-technical user can pull up and manage the records in a MySQL table. There's only one table of data to be managed; it's just that it will be accessed and updated quite frequently.

I recall that Grails' default scaffolding feature has precisely this: list of entries with the ability to add, edit and delete, with no nonsense.

What would be the best tool to use for this? I would rather not be writing it from scratch, as this will take me quite some time.

It seems like the kind of thing that ought to exist somewhere.

Thanks!

Answer 1

for the db script, I recommend phpMyAdmin. It requires sql knowledge to do complex things, but simple operations are made friendly.

Answer 2

Have a look at Xataface. It's essentially a CRUD interface to your db. It's straightforward to install, open source and can be styled to match your corporate intranet.

Answer 3

If you are looking for similar functionality of Rails, there is CakePHP, which can automatically generate code for scaffolded views to add, edit, view and delete records.
