[snip]What are aiming to do that something like PHPMyAdmin doesn't do?[/snip] The OP never really answered this, but I don't think you can use PHPMyAdmin to automate the generation of forms from every table in a database. You could use the function I supplied in a loop to read each table and spit out a form (either write a file or do it on the fly) for those tables. The original intent of my function was to never have to worry about table structure ever again, just read the table info and generate a form on the fly. Never would a form have to be hard coded again. The basis for this script was begun 10 years ago, the one I provided to the list was last updated in 2006 as a generic handler that really needed much more work. It could be used as a stand-alone function or as part of a class. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
