[Pro] PHP code generators for OSX

Does anyone know of a good php code generators that run natively on OSX?

There are a bunch out there but all Windows based.

Thanks

What does a PHP code generator do for you? What types of code will it
generate, and what do you do with the resulting code?

I ask because there’s another approach here that you might like, but
it would take you into a completely different direction than I think
you are headed at the moment.

Hello Walter

Thank you for taking the time.

I have an idea for a data driven web site that I want to build with
Freeway Pro and eventually monetize. The site will require database
capabilities. There are 3 options:

Use a hosted database service such as dabble.db or Caspio. These
services allow you to setup a database and generate the code that you
can embed in your own website so that the service takes care of the,
session management, forms, data retrieval, data updates etc. This is
the fastest option but it is subscription service with monthly fees.
See a very short video here http://www.caspio.com/video-tutorials/autovalue-track-ip-url.asp
There are php/mysql code generators that can generate the code that
you can embed in your own website. My hosting company supports php/
mysql so it wouldn’t be too difficult to setup. I have experience
working with databases and feel confortable with the mysql UI. This
allows you to do the same operations as #1 without having to write
code. There are several for Windows but none on the mac.
Learn php/mysql and do it all manually. This does the same as #1 but
I’d have to learn php and expand my knowledge of mysql. I did database
development years ago and I’m not afraid of tackling this but it will
take me more time than #1 and #2.

If you have other options I’m all ears.

I think you can probably learn enough to do this yourself by reading Keith’s tutorials over at http://thehelpful.com and asking some questions on the Dynamo list.

If you use a code library to manage the connection between your page and the database server, you can build a data access and editing interface in a shockingly few lines of code. You’ll have the benefit of understanding how it works, rather than just hoping that it does what it said on the box.

If you look here: http://wiki.github.com/walterdavis/myactiverecord/basics I’ve implemented a very basic guest book in 54 lines of code using the MyActiveRecord Object Relational Mapper (ORM). This is a deliberately simple example, but it shows the basics of creating and editing database records using that library.

Don’t panic as you read it. PHP has a syntax and vocabulary like any language, and if you treat it the way I do reading an unfamiliar book – simply plunge ahead and hope that it makes sense in a while – you’ll catch on fairly quickly.
