Testimonials
David Boccabella: "I am getting my manager to purchase your excellent product in a couple of day. It has really proved useful with working with the advanced features of MySQL".
David Lantz: "Thank you, this is by far the simplest, and most friendly utility for building db record system I have ever used. I wish I could get my systems guys at the office to purchase this for our company would be so very helpful and speed up a lot of work. I for one have used it for everything from a simple inventory record of my house, to a members record for my church just little pet projects and a test bed to test my own db builds and theories before having to hand code at the office..... it is a lot of fun to work with".

PHP Generator

SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce a release of PHP Generator 22.8, a GUI frontend that allows you to build high-quality and feature-rich data-driven web applications for your database in minutes. There are versions for MySQL, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, Firebird, DB2, SQL Anywhere and MaxDB.

The following is a list of new feature implementations since the last official release.

New feature highlights:

  • Generated php code is now fully compatible with all PHP versions up to PHP 8.1.
  • New and updated controls. This version extends the already wide spectrum of components available in grids, cards, and edit/insert forms.
    • Support for Toggles has been implemented. This control allows to represent logical column values in a comfortable view and to change them in one mouse click directly in data grid and cards. Text, size and style of toggles are customizable.
    • Support for Barcodes has been added (requires php 7.0 or higher). This view control allows you to represent string data as symbols that can be scanned electronically using laser or image-based technology. This version introduces 30 types of the most popular barcodes including UPC/EAN codes, Code 39, Code 128, and Postnet. The ability to set the foreground color makes it possible to use Barcodes in dark color schemes.
    • Support for QR Codes has been implemented. To represent column data as QR Code, just select the corresponding view control. Allow users to follow to specified links by clicking or tapping QR Codes using hyperlinks.

  • Starting from this version .XLSX file format and "phpexcel" engine (creates native Excel files) are used for export to Excel by default. The OnGetCustomExportOptions event allows to change these options.

  • Optimized big databases management. The new Refresh whole database on connect option has been added to the Generation rules. Uncheck this option to speed up working with large databases.
  • Added Portuguese (European), Greek and Latvian translations. Thanks to our users.
  • Added possibility to use shortcuts in any editor.

In addition to above, several bugs have been fixed and some other minor improvements and corrections have been made. For more information about a specific tool see the appropriate page:
