Writing a simple database application in PHP and mySQL can take a lot of time and effort – you will have to design the HTML form, write queries, implement validation/error handling, test the application, etc. You can save yourself a lot of time and reduce development cost if you use a PHP code generator. Code generators are desktop or web-based applications that once installed will allow you to define your database and it will automatically generate all the required HTML, CSS and PHP files. You can then simply update these files to your server and get complete running applications in a few minutes.
