PHP-CI-MODCON

What's New ??

• API authentication is added.
• Now supports GUI interface to easily perform your task.
• Automatically generates foreign key constraints and designs patterns for join statements.
• More stable than before and fixed minor bugs.

Introduction

• The PHP is widely used for web development and it also supports some popular frameworks which helps developers to boost the development speed. People who works with PHP Codeignitor already knows that the CI framework requires to generate controllers and models manually. So it's a time consuming process to create controllers and models again and again while in development phase.

• Whoohoo!! The PHP-CI-MODCON will help you to boost your development speed as it will help you to generate controllers and models in just few seconds with all the CRUD operation methods readymate inside it which is directly available to use with all the neccessory parameter inside it. All you need to do is copy the models and controllers generated by PHP-CI-MODCON into your CodeIgnitor project and pass the parameter by calling the methods to perform CRUD operation and many more. Easy right !! 😃

Pre-Requirements

• Should know basics programming of PHP and OOP.
• PHP CodeIgnitor framework setup in your system. Or you can download it from here Download CodeIgnitor.
• Basics of working with Controllers and Models in PHP CodeIgnitor.
• SQL database (Database tables should contain first field as primary key to use this library).

E.g of primary key
employee(empid, empname, deptid) //Right
student(studentid, studentname, deptid) //Right

employee(empname, empid, deptid) //Wrong
student(studentname, studentid, deptid) //Wrong

• SQL database (Database tables should contain foreign key name into the following format).

E.g of foreign key (Note : foreign key column should be fk_foreignKeyTableName_foreignKeyTablePrimaryKey)

department(departmentid, departmentname)
employee(empid, empname, fk_department_departmentid) //Right

state(sid, sname)
city(cid, cname, fk_state_sid) //Right

department(departmentid, departmentname)
employee(empid, empname, fk_department_deptid) //Wrong

state(sid, sname)
city(cid, cname, fk_sid) //Wrong

Configuration table

• The configuration table represents the avaiable methods inside the library as well as how to use those methods.

ClassName	MethodName	Parameters	Response
databaseConfigure	constructor()	constructor('hostname','username','password','dbname')	True/False
databaseConfigure	getAllDatabases()	No parameters	Collection
databaseConfigure	getAllTables()	No parameters	Collection
databaseConfigure	getTableFields()	getTableFields('tableName')	Collection
ModelGenerator	generateSingleModel()	generateSingleModel('tableName')	File
ModelGenerator	generateModel()	generateModel(Collection) Collection from getAllTables()	File
ModelGenerator	directoryContent()	No parameters	List of files and directory
ControllerGenerator	generateSingleController()	generateSingleController('tableName')	File
ControllerGenerator	generateController()	generateController(Collection) Collection from getAllTables()	File
ControllerGenerator	directoryContent()	No parameters	List of files and directory

How to use ??

Step 1. Download the repository (Prefer branch 2.0 for latest update) and unzip or extract the downloaded file and place it inside the wamp or xamp / www folder.

Step 2. Open index.php file inside PHP-CI-MODCON folder and have a look onto the configuration table for more steps according to your requirement.

Step 3. Run the localhost server and run the PHP-CI-MODCON project.

Step 4. By default index.php will be executed and it will display GUI interface from which you can generate controllers and models according to your selection.

Step 5. Once the execution is completed it will display the directory status about whatever the changes are occured and will display the newly created files onto your browser.

Step 6. Open your CodeIgnitor project and navigate to the application folder.

Step 7. Copy the files from ControllerGenerated folder and paste it into the application\controller folder. Also copy auth.php and paste it into application\controller folder. Now copy the corresponding models of the controllers from ModelGenerated folder and paste it into application\models folder.

Note: It may possible that you have only generated models or only controllers so in that case you can skip some instructions from step 7.

Step 8. Now it's time for testing.!! So for test the CRUD functionality of the controllers have a look onto the following table.

Request URL	Parameters	Form Method	Form Parameter Name	Response	Type
localhost://projectName/controllerName/	No parameters	GET/POST	-	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/create	Table fields via html form	POST	fieldName=value	True and total affected rows in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/update	Table fields via html form	POST	fieldName=value	True and total affected rows in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/delete	Table primary key field via html form	POST	fieldName=value	True/False and affected rows in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/limit	Start and end value via html form	POST	start=value&end=value	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/select	Comma(,) seperated field names via html form	POST	fields=field1,field2	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/selectLimit	Comma(,) seperated field names with Start and end value via html form	POST	fields=field1,field2&start=value&end=value	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/max	Field name via html form	POST	field=fieldname	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/min	Field name via html form	POST	field=fieldname	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/avg	Field name via html form	POST	field=fieldname	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/sum	Field name via html form	POST	field=fieldname	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/search	Field name and value in the following format via form	POST	condition?field1=value, field2=value	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/searchLike	Field name and value in the following format via form	POST	condition?field1=value,field2=value	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/searchNLike	Field name and value in the following format via form: condition?field1=value, field2=value	POST	condition?field1=value,field2=value	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/groupBy	Field name via html form	POST	fields=field1,field2	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/orderBy	Field name via html form	POST	fields=field1,field2	Table records in json	JSON
localhost://projectName/controllerName/distinct	No parameters	GET/POST	-	Table records in json	JSON

Note : Form parameter should be same as table fields names inside your database table.

<!--E.g : If table format is like this =>  product(productid, productname, qty, rate) 
then form input element name attribute should also like productid, productname, qty, rate
same as table fields name.-->

<!-- Code to display data -->
<?php
    $ProductData = json_decode($Product,true);

    for ($i=0; $i < count($ProductData[0]['response']); $i++) { 
        echo($ProductData[0]['response'][$i]['productid']." ".$ProductData[0]['response'][$i]['productname']." ".
             $ProductData[0]['response'][$i]['qty']." ".$ProductData[0]['response'][$i]['rate']." "."<br>");
    }
?>

<!-- Form for insert operation -->
<form method="post" action="Product/Insert">
    <input type="text" name="productname">
    <input type="text" name="qty">
    <input type="text" name="rate">
    <input type="submit" value="insert">
</form>

<!-- Form for selected column display operation -->
<form method="post" action="Product/select">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="productid">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="productname">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="qty">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="rate">
    <button type="submit" name="btnsubmit">Select</button>
</form>

<!-- Form for selected column display with limit operation -->
<form method="post" action="Product/selectLimit">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="productid">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="productname">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="qty">
    <input type="checkbox" name="fields[]" value="rate">
    <input type="text" name="start">
    <input type="text" name="end">
    <button type="submit" name="btnsubmit">SelectLimit</button>
</form>

<!-- Form for search operation -->
<form method="POST" action="Product/search">
    <input type="text" name="condition">
    <button type="submit">Search</button>
</form>

<!-- Form for search like operation -->
<form method="POST" action="Product/searchLike">
    <input type="text" name="condition">
    <button type="submit">SearchLike</button>
</form>

<!-- Form for search not like operation -->
<form method="POST" action="Product/searchNLike">
    <input type="text" name="condition">
    <button type="submit">SearchNLike</button>
</form>

<!-- Form for groupby operation -->
<form method="POST" action="Product/groupBy">
    <input type="text" name="field">
    <button type="submit">GroupBy</button>
