   PHP Runner my view

   I bought this about 2 years ago now and I use it to generate applications that I host on MS Azure linked to SQL Azure databases.

   🏁 Competitors: PHPRad, PHPmaker, nuBuilder Forte, radzen.com:443 Radzen

   👍 Pros:    Regularly updated|Produces fast responsive applications|Connects to mysql / postgres / oracle and sql server|Will initially scaffold a complete crud application from linked tables|Each table gets a list / edit / add and view page|Code behind allows for bespoke programming|Very much access for the web|Really good form builder allows multiple columns in a single form|Master / detail forms allowed|Very intuitive design|User forum is well used|Php runner and asp.net versiona available|Excellent security built in with options for two factor authentication|Pay for developer licence allows you to create infinite no of applications|Host applications anywhere - php runner generated applications will run on any server|Generated code seems very stable.|Subscription model allows you to keep product after end of subscription but you will not receive updates

• Collecting data from staff using forms, sending reminders etc

  I previously used formtools.org for a similar project but that was a one off and it didn't have auto reminders as part of the work flow. When I search for workflow tools I get what appears to be something completely different. When I search for for builder its often elements to allow your full app to easily present forms (I don't have my own app). Source: 7 months ago

• Looking to use Base but what about it's end-user side?

  I think that you are asking for https://formtools.org/ on the end user stuff. Source: almost 3 years ago

• self hosted forms?

  Give FormTools a try. I've been using it with forms embedded in a website, but I believe it also lets you generate forms directly within the software. Source: almost 3 years ago

• self hosted form builder

  There's also formtools but it has been unmaintained for some time now. Source: about 3 years ago

• Web interface for MySQL DB

  Don't know if this would be right thing for you, but I Googled "open source mysql forms" and this looks cool: https://formtools.org. Source: about 3 years ago
