Lookinf for a DB add.

[jethro10]

Hi,
[EDIT : I meant a DB App. but can't edit the title!]
I have built a NAS / server for home and it's fine.
I want to put on a, preferably, php web based database front end, eg a VERY simple Microsoft Access type client I guess to make and store my own databases in probably a MySQL backend?
Now theres lots of CMS type packages that you drop into your web server, connect upto MySQL and your away (I use Joomla)
But can't find a generic Web based database GUI, or at a push a home/hobby "Collections" type database may do where folk record, lets say stamp collections, or coins, or movies they have seen.

Any ideas?
Jeff

Well apart from can't spell app!, I've finally found one or two solutions
http://www.tonymarston.co.uk/php-mys...plication.html (Click on online demo)

and
http://www.radicore.org/

would both be ok, I might invest a little time on this.
Unless someone knows of something a little simpler?

I'm a little confused - are you looking for an application to help manage the SQL back end or are you looking for a simple application to store items in a DB - I could probably help you with both.

1. For managing SQL I highly recommend PHPMyAdmin.
2. If you are looking for a simple PHP/SQL site like "Enter information about your item and hit submit" then I (and many others) would be able to write something for you.

If you are looking for say, a tutorial, try searching for "PHP News Tutorial" - I used most of those results to teach myself basic PHP/SQL code.

I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Richard

Background. I program for a living in microsoft.net, using asp.net and use SQL server for the backend. So :-

1. already use it to backup my Joomla site etc, find it's great.
2. Nearly, not a site, I want a web based basic database editor for example to store and edit a wine collection and tasting notes etc. Would rather it was generic, cos I may then decide to store other types of data in it. or create a new set of table to store the other stuff in.

As far as PHP/Myslq goes, yes, i've decided to try an learn it as well, that's why I would like 2. above to be simple so I can use that to follow what it does and lear from it.
But basically my re-designed point 2 is what i'm after.
Can you follow these ramblings? It's always difficult to explain properly.....
Thanks
Jeff

Kind of sounds like you want a very basic PHP site with an SQL backend with three fields: ID, Title, Text. ID is automatic for pulling records. Title is a short description of what you are storing (Wine Recipe: Blah Blah Blah). Text is the full text of what you are storing.

Am I getting closer here?

Thanks,

Basically, thats it.

I've just found this site http://www.hotscripts.com and it has loads of samples including this :- http://www.dadabik.org/
Which is more than enough, just installed it on my PC.
Why I never found something like it 2 months ago on my initial search I dunno.

Excellent! I'm glad you found something.
