&name; enables PHP scripters to quickly create forms used to interact with data

stored in a MySQL database table. The procedure described below will enable you

to generate the <firstterm>calling script</firstterm> containing the database

logon and a variety of options. An included file

<filename>phpMyEdit.class.php</filename> will later manipulate MySQL records

based on user options which are configurable in the calling script. The calling

script essentially generates one form which facilitates actions that include add

record, change record, copy record, view record, delete record, etc.

After selecting a table, a list of its MySQL columns will be displayed. Select a

column that is a unique numeric identifier. The unique numeric identifier is

typically that column which is the unique auto-incremented record ID. Although

non-numeric unique identifiers are also supported, we recommend you to use

numeric one.

Below the list of column names you will find two input boxes containing a

suggested <GUIlabel>Page Title</GUIlabel> and suggested <GUIlabel>Base

Filename</GUIlabel>. Either accept or change the content of the input boxes. An

attempt will be made to generate a script, write the script to the base

filename, and then display the script in the web browser.

Depending on your system configuration, the script may be written to the current

directory.

After clicking the <GUIbutton>Submit</GUIbutton> button, the script should

attempted disk write was successful.

Depending on your system configuration, the script may or may not have been

written to the directory from which <filename>phpMyEditSetup.php</filename> was

run. You will need to either open the file that was written to disk or else

highlight and copy the script from the web browser and paste it into a blank

document in your text editor.

If the proposed <GUIlabel>Base Filename</GUIlabel> was "employees" and the disk

write was successful, a file named <filename>employees.php</filename> would

exist in the directory from which <filename>phpMyEditSetup.php</filename> was

run.

</para>

<para>

If the disk write was NOT successful and you've pasted the script into your text

editor, save the file in the same directory which contains the phpMyEdit program

files. Save the file with the <filename>.php</filename> extension.

<para>

Because HTML header and footer requirements vary between users, no header or

footer is generated. Add or include appropriate HTML markup as necessary (e.g.

<HTML><HEAD> [headers] </HEAD><BODY> [script]

</BODY></HTML>). By default the table will be enclosed by <div

class="main"> ... </div> which offers a degree of formatting in terms

of using CSS (cascading style sheets).

</para>

<para>

Once the header and footer are in place, there are script configuration options

that you should review and possibly change.
