Hello Everyone=2C

I am a beginner with PHP and Mysql and have dived into a project that may b=

knowledge to accomplish what I am trying to.

I have been looking into PHP code generators and was wondering if anyone ha=
s any thoughts or suggestions=2C also if anyone knows of any good resources=
for learning

Most code generators are bloated, poorly designed, and just plain trouble.T=
he
only code generator that I currently like, is the one for CakePHP, but
you'll have to do some heavy reading to get up-to-speed on how to develop
with Cake (especially considering it uses Object Oriented development
principles, and the Model-View-Controller code separation pattern)

If you put any time into CakePHP at all, I guarantee you'll like it.
To generate code with Cake, you build your database tables for whatever dat=
a
you're needing to store (and it's best to structure your tables using cake
conventions), then from command line, you use "cake bake", which will allow
you to build your controller, model, and view for each table.

Bake will allow you to automatically build create/read/update/delete
functionality for every table, it will automatically detect which tables
have related data, and will set up your code so that you can easily
reference data between each table.

It's a definite must-have, but I'm not sure how it would be for a PHP
newbie. I believe there are several CakePHP books out there for the newbie
that should get you up and running fast.

Check it out at http://www.cakephp.org for more info

Re: php generators

Dreamweaver has some php generation. That's how I started to learn. I am
not an expert by any means, and I am sure that experts will not like the
code, but for a beginner, I found it totally fine

You may want to take a look at Metastorage. It can generate ORM classes,
which let you basically treat information in your database tables as
objects.

It can generate all the code for all the queries you need to select,
insert, update and delete table records as if they were objects.

Metastorage can also generate database schema and a class to install or
upgrade it that works with many types of database.

http://www.metastorage.net/

If you are not familiar of how Object Relational Mapping generators like
this can make your development much easier, you may also want to read
this article:

Hey Manuel, this is off topic, but did you guys recently upgrade
phpclasses.org? Last I visited (a week or two ago) it seemed much snappier
(more reactive) than in the past.Aside from the (previous) speed issue, I've
always liked phpclasses, except for some of the really old code samples that
can be found there. Would be nice to start a movement to have all of the old
classes re-implemented for current-day PHP 5, as some of the classes on
there are from several years ago, and are geared for PHP 4.

Maybe an "adopt-this-class" feature on the website for classes that are old
and no longer maintained? ;-)

Not really, nothing changed. Were you accessing a mirror or the main
site? Maybe it is some ad network or analytics snippet that is slowing
down the problem. Are you still experiencing any problem?

That is not something in the control of the site. Each class is
independently developer by the author that submitted it. If you want to
see improvements in some class, maybe you should contact the respective
author using the support forums or directly.
