I'm looking for a web frontend for end users of our database (server runs either MySQL or Postgre) for organization-internal contacts and order handling.

I've searched the web for free/opensource database web frontends but only found admin tools (phpMyAdmin, ...) and frameworks that only show the tables but you cannot create apps (dadabik, vfront, xataface).

I want to create apps like in Access forms but apparently there is no such tool out there... As a backup, I would use openoffice Base with JDBC connection or progam the frontend in PHP manually.

An advantage would be user authentication (preferably LDAP).

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

  • Will the end users customize/develop using the web frontend, or simply operate an app created by someone else? – Paul Feb 21 '11 at 21:14
  • They'll only operate the app, but the app should be developed quickly and easily using some kind of framework. – ngo-manu Mar 17 '11 at 17:26
  • Product and service recommendations are off topic per the updated [FAQ](http://serverfault.com/faq). – sysadmin1138 Aug 22 '12 at 00:29

Without knowing more about your project, I would suggest a Model-View-Controller Framework. These typically have an object-relational-mapper (ORM) that makes it easy to design a front end for a database.

Some examples are:

Another CRUD builder is Crudin

With Crudin you can use to save hours and hours of programming when you have to build a custom CMS system, extranet or when you have to manage the content contained in a MySQL database

The Crudin not generates php files, it directly generates the interface. With a change in the database the system automatically fits, without any line of programmming.
