PHP/MySQL Builder

Post by jasonfnorth »

Is anyone aware of a WYSIWYG Builder where I can drop FORM elements into a web page and generate PHP to populate a mySQL database. I'm not a programmer, but I know HTML/CSS and would like to take a stab at building a web app.

Nothing?

Wow, about 6 years ago I worked for a startup which had software to web-enable legacy mainframe systems, and it was quite powerful. You could screen-scrape the green screens and tie them to web objects, and create functional web applications without writing code... or at least very little scripting.

I can't imagine that there isn't a PHP Builder tool which provides a similiar set of features to tie a MySQL DB to web objects and ease the process of querys, etc..

If anyone else has any ideas, please speak up!

I know dreamweaver has kind of that thing through screens and the like but you still need to know a bit of sql, or abit more sql and php to make it efficient.
