Yea,
Stop using PHP.
$ gem install rails
$ cd ~/projects
$ rails new mydbentry
By default it will create a new database using sqlite3. If you have an
existing database using a different DBMS, you can specify which one on the
rails new line by adding -- database=mysql, or whichever db you used.
$ cd mydbentry
Add the following line to your Gemfile (it just works better)
gem "puma"
Update config/database.yml with your database credentials
$ bundle update
$ rails generate scaffold tablename field1:type field2:type field3:type etc
I.E. rails: generate scaffold employee last:string first:string ssn:string
notes:text
Open config/routes.rb and find a line (about 8-10 lines down from the top)
that is commented out that says root :to =>.
Create a new non-commented line just like it, but instead of welcome#index
yours should be tablename#index
If you allowed rails to create a new database for you instead of using an
existing one...
$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate
Now run the server
$ puma
Use a Web browser of your choice and access the page on port 9292.
Should take no more than 5 minutes to set up. It actually is harder to
explain than to do. 5 minutes is a generous estimate, 30 seconds is more
likely.
If the form is too ugly/basic for you, edit it at app/views/tablename/...
Happy inputting
