FileMaker

Claris FileMaker provides advanced calculation, scripting, and process automation controls, ideal for building forms interfaces that can be hosted on FileMaker servers and accessed with either the FileMaker desktop application or WebDirect forms, with data optionally available via the FileMaker API. FileMaker works exceptionally well with PHP, enabling securable 2-way data interactions with single or multiple SQL databases or APIs.

PHPRunner

Xlinesoft PHPRunner is an application that generates HTML forms interfaces for SQL databases or REST APIs. Administrators with standard web browsers can securely log in, search, add, update, delete, import, or export data stored in MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, or Postgre databases. PHPRunner interfaces are securable using encrypted passwords, with multi-level permissions, multi-factor authentication, and field-level change audit controls.

Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat PDF forms provide very adaptable programmable interfaces that can be used, shared, or deployed as data calculation and interaction runtimes. Acrobat forms can utilize JavaScript to add interactivity, making it possible to dynamically calculate, validate, format, and post query parameters to PHP scripts that execute queries on databases or APIs and return the filtered query results back to designated form fields in real time.

Why use PHP for communications between forms and data sources?

PHP is an extremely popular general-purpose server-side programming language, used by Amazon, Shopify, WordPress, Facebook, PayPal, Gmail, Slack, Tumblr, and Wikipedia.

PHP Data Objects (PDO) and cURL code libraries provide securable, injection-resistant methods to safely interact with SQL databases, REST APIs, and cloud services.

PHP makes it significantly easier to integrate different technologies without incurring SaaS connector costs, functionality limitations, security concessions, and dependencies.

PHP is open-source technology, which means there are no licensing costs, transaction fees, or subscriptions required to own and use simple but industrial strength code.

“Extraordinarily efficient, ridiculously cost-effective.”

“Simplified, lightness added.”

“Strangely, merging technologies drastically simplified things.”

“That is way, way, way less complicated. Thank you!"

Desktop, web, or mobile interfaces, simple deployment, minimized dependencies, integrating different technologies to build simple or complex data automation solutions.
