Has anyone used PHP Runner? - 4/12/2007 0:10:17
If so, what do you think of it? Is there something out there you like better for developing php database driven sites? Thanks!

Haven't used it myself - I just build it by hand.
The thing that would worry me about it (having just Googled it) is the visual editor bit which looks a bit stoneage (looks like you've got the choice of a table or a table for the layout!).
I've been trying to work out exactly what it does and whether it's just the backend (Admin) stuff or the front-end too. I can see that it could be useful for setting up the tables and queries but the front-end stuff looks too inflexible in it's templating - I'd want to set up the front-end stuff myself.

A quote from Larry Ulman's PHP for the World Wide Web says that "PHP can't be used for client-side features found in some Web sites. When it comes time to develop your own PHP project, remember that you can only use PHP to send information (HTML and such) to the Web browser. You can't do anything else within the Web browser until another request from the server has been made (a form has been submitted or a link has been clicked)."

I have used it a few times to access a database and the likes. Worked good for what I needed.

I use PHP Runner almost exclusively for developing PHP/MySQL projects. I am sold on this product big time. If you download the free trial and have any questions I would be glad to help answer them if I can. I frequently blog about tips and tricks for using PHP Runner on my website also...

I use Dreamweaver and Expression both as well but PHP Runner is a little bit different, it has tools or wizards built into it that will allow you to automatically generate your php code as opposed to hand coding. The code is surprisingly pretty clean also and can be modified once it's generated. It uses Smarty Templates also so customizing your final product is pretty easy.

so I guess I've got the fear issue to deal with in addition to the learning curve!
What?! You have to pay for it? Tailslide would never use it then!
