which tool (written in PHP) to deal with db by interface friendly (like access)?

[_mario lat]

I'd like to deal (update, deal, insert....) a database (with tables and
relationship between these)
by a tool written in php.
I need to share and work on a database with other people.
I'd like to find an interface like microsoft access interface or that let
manipulate the db in easy vay.
Which tool can I use?

Or wich libray can I use for write this tool by myself (in PHP)?

Thank you in advance for the time you'll spend to read and answer my
request,
Mario.

phpMyAdmin is probably the closest you're going to get to what you want.
although it's not at all like Access: http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net

Try DBDesigner 4 http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/. It's not as powerful
as MS Access but it worths the try. It allows you to design your DB and
manage it. You can even generate a HTML report of your databases. It makes
the documentation process easier, specially useful when it comes to
teamwork.

It's great for low level access to the database. But not for user
front-ends. You might want to take a look at PHP-Peanuts, PGPGEN, PHPMaker,
DaDaBik, WizzyWeb and Appgini.

There's yet another package - PfP Studio (which I'm writing) it's more
targeted at developing rich application interaction and customizable
systems but it currently still requires coding to integrate with the DBMS.

It doesn't sound like a good product to me. The website and interface are
not well-polished. My advice is to stick to PHP, PhpMyAdmin and some libs,
like PEAR, to help you admin your database. It's so easy to design HTML
forms afterall. Moreover most of the time a web-based application powered by
HTML/PHP is far much powerful and extensible that a software like Rekall.

If you're looking for Access -like functionality look at Navicat.
You'll feel right at home.

Excellent font-end in my opinion, very intuitive and easy to navigate.
Even dodes reports like Access

If you want to build an application and you happen to know OOP, you
could try phpPeanuts. It's not drag and drop application building, but
if you just code the database design (including the relationships) into
some class specifications you get in instant user interface that you can
already use as a simple application, inlcuding input (form) validation,
searching and navigating the relationships. Once using it as an
application, if something really gets too irritating you make some
customizations by overriding only those specific pieces you don't like.

But i must warn you, phpPeanuts is a much more open environment then
Access, there is lots of abstractions you can explore and thousends of
methods you can override. And it is *very* OO, the leap of concept may
just be an order of magnitude too large from Access.
