PHP MySQL Application Administration

[dm06tw]

Hi All,

I've got a general query and I'm looking for some opinion. I'm re-designing a fairly involved registration and score reporting system for a sports league that is written predominantly in php and draws from a mysql database. I wrote the initial system (which is still in use today and much-loved) but my coding and skills have advanced a lot since that first attempt.

I'm hoping that version 2.0 will be a significantly improved version of 1.0 which is tempermental and requires a lot of direct input into the database tables.

My question is: how do you recommend that I handle front-end application administration (CRUD + Administrative functions like adding sports and changing the name of a league). That is to say, I want the owner of the sports league to be able to "administer" his application without ever having to go near the actual mysql database.

Is hard-coding my best option? Should I be using something different than PHP? What about plug-ins, 3rd party apps, or frameworks? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Wordpress with some nice addons would be the best options.

Almost all the modern web sites use databases. MySql is probably the most used database for web application. There are many web tools that interact with MySQL, PHPMyAdmin is a great example. But the problem is they are very complex for non expert user. That is why I decided to create user friendly web application for basic management of MySQL.

Thanks for your replies.

I spent a long time looking and I believe AJAXCrud (http://www.ajaxcrud.com) is exactly what I need. Highly customizable mysql editor that allows relationships etc. Mindblowing.
