RE: [PHP-DB] PHP and big production database apps ?

You can get a complicated as you want. I am running postgres and php for our Quality assurance department that has a web based front-end portal with the postgres and mysql backend. I use the postgres database for the sensitive database (testing, cvs, test-cases, etc.) while I use mysql for the front-end portal and text information (documents). I run intense data calculations and statistics with postgres and have php create charts and graphs. I have also started writing gui apps with php-gtk for direct database access. This has worked out great.

Hi all, I am absolutly new to PHP and PostgreSQL. So far I developed production database apps for managing production in production comapny(using Clipper and DBF files). Now my boss has got idea to try using PHP and PostgreSQL to create another production apps. These apps should run localy in company, collect all infos from production (time, quantity, persons, machines, production steps, parts, material and so on). Later these infos lets us build statistics, production plans, control people, calculate prices. And my general question is: can I develop complicated database apps for production company using PHP and PostgreSQL? How complicated screens can I build.? What about designing complex printings? Are there any additionall PHP libraries for building menus, screen controls (buttons, radiobuttons, checkboxes, dropdownlists, window tabs and so on), designing printing reports, handling bar codes and handy scanners, creating charts on screen, any other? what PHP language or PostgreSQL limitation can I face? Apps I developed so far has got about 25.000 code lines and uses about 100 releted tables Thanks a lot for your replays.
