few days ago I was writing this php/ajax application for a client and then I realized I needed a way to manipulate the tables
some tables were simple but some had two or three relationships
I thought about writing a generic class for the simple tables and doing other tables “by hand”
then I realized… maybe someone else wrote something similar
and I’ve found just that
Achievo ATK framework makes it really simple to create /admin for your client so he can manipulate his tables by himself
but that simplicity comes only after you’ve spent some time getting familiar with it
at first, atk coding seemed cryptic but now I’m into it and it feels natural
atk will make your life easier because once you understand it you can easily manufacture table interfaces
it has support for cascading deletes so you don’t have to worry about orphaned records
one thing I’d like to see is full UTF-8 support
it currently uses iso-8859-1 character set by default (english language)
I got it here
