You can do the same thing with Radicore (http://www.radicore.org) - build your database, import it into the data dictionary, export it to create the basic List/Search/Create/Read/Update/Delete transactions. All withut writing a single line of HTML, SQL or even PHP. You can customise these scripts to your heart's content As an added bonus you get a Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system, Audit Logging, Workflow, Single or Two Factor Authentication for user logons, PDF forms generation, and a whole host of other goodies. -- Tony Marston http://www.tonymarston.net http://www.radicore.org > -- > Thanks! > -Shawn > http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
