Free PHP-based MySQL GUI with advanced features

Frontend
1

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a magical software solution that meets several needs. Does anyone know of a free tool that can serve as a GUI frontend for MySQL databases on a PHP server? Here’s what I’m hoping it can do:

  • Create custom forms
  • Handle operations on multiple tables in a single go
  • Use AJAX for a sleek look
  • Manage user logins automatically
  • Be entirely buildable in the browser without any coding
  • Offer extras like email sending and scheduled tasks
  • Be safe for end users without accidentally breaking things

I’m really hoping something like this exists. Any ideas? Bonus if it can even make coffee!

While I understand the desire for an all-in-one solution, I’m afraid you might be asking for too much from a free tool. In my experience, most MySQL GUIs focus on database management rather than application building. You might want to consider a low-code platform instead, which could offer many of the features you’re looking for. However, these typically aren’t free and may require some coding knowledge.

For basic MySQL management, phpMyAdmin is a solid free option. It won’t do everything on your list, but it’s reliable for database operations. If you’re willing to invest some time, learning a framework like Laravel could help you build a custom solution tailored to your needs. It has a steeper learning curve but offers more flexibility in the long run.

yo, that’s a tall order! :sweat_smile: haven’t seen anything free that does all that. maybe check out phpmyadmin for basic stuff? or if ur willing to learn some coding, wordpress + plugins could work. just don’t expect miracles from free tools, ya know? good luck!
