I am totally new to phpmyedit. I just started exploring php and mysql 4 months ago. I am setting up a database for my company to record things like equipment location,serial numbers,install date,cost,depreciation. Employees information, Work orders e.t.c The people at my company are all but computer illiterate. Expecting them to type in ANY type of SQL query is like expecting to win a million dollars int he lottery. So I am going to set up series of interanet pages/forms that will use php to access the mysql database. All access will be from INSIDE our internal network. What I was looking for when I came across phpmyedit was some way to make up the search pages and input pages that the users will see when they click on a link on thier desktop. I was going to do all the html and php coding by using web page editor to make up the forms the go do all the php coding by hand. Then I came across phpmyedit and from what I read on the sites first page it looks like with will do MUCH of the database access coding for me then I can go back and fine tune the pages that it generates. Is this so. Can somone give me a link to actual screen shots of the code it generates or an avi of someone actually using it. I did download and print out the manual. I *think* I understood most of it but I only read up to chapter 4. I guess I am just a visual person I need to see a a screen to have a concept embed in my head.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I recommend that before starting to write the program that seams complicated for you, you start to design a simple table and create form for it with phpmyedit.

Good Luck
