I have been monkeying around with PHP for a while, and have various examples of odd PHP scripts at http://penguin.epfl.ch/PHP/index.html The scripts on this page include a 'Manage how-to database' example which gave me some ideas for doing something more general... for example, creating an html interface for any given MySQL table. Thus I have pieced together some PHP scripts that are capabable of generating PHP scripts from a table definition as defined by mysqldump. The generator is at: http://penguin.epfl.ch/PHP/WebDB/WebDB.html It is important to read the help file at: http://penguin.epfl.ch/PHP/WebDB/help_WebDB.html which will tell you that I haven't yet implemented insert,modify and delete yet; etc. This is very much a 'work in progress', and is surely buggy. If anyone has some ideas on how this sort of thing could be more elegantly done, I would be interested in hearing about it. Getting all those quotes right is almost a religious experience... :-) -- denice.deatrich @ epfl.ch, ADM/SIC, E.P.F.L.
