PHPRunner 9 adds an option to build and package desktop applications as well as web applications. In this article we’ll try to answer most common questions and explain what PHPRunner desktop applications can and can not do.

How it works

First of all, Desktop apps functionality is built on the top of wonderful open source PHP Desktop project. PHP Desktop packages together the following software components:

  • web server (Mongoose)
  • PHP
  • Chrome browser

This is a just for fun PHPRunner project similar to one we built for World Cup 2014. Check this live demo first.

This project requires PHPRunner 9.0. Yes, there is a desktop app for this project. Download it, install it, run it and enjoy. Ignore the security warning, we didn’t sign this one yet.

This project uses live Euro 2016 data provided by football-data.org in JSON format. PHPRunner project makes the use of this data and if will not work if they website is down for any reason.

In PHPRunner 9, ASPRunner.NET 9.0 and ASPRunnerPro 9.5 we are switching to new version of charting components: AnyChart 7. What does this mean for you as a user?

  • AnyChart 7 is Javascript based. No more Flash charts, works out of the box on all devices
  • AnyChart 7 provides better user experience, more functionality, better looking charts
  • We are adding ChartModify event that would allow you to tweak charts appearance and behaviour in endless ways. You can copy and paste basically any example from AnyChart manual as is.

Below are a few examples of how you can use ChartModify event.

Add horizontal scroller

var currentScroller = chart.xScroller();
currentScroller.enabled(true);

Add horizontal scroller and set initial zoom to 50%

Web applications generated by PHPRunner, ASPRunner.NET or ASPRunnerPro communicate with databases via means of SQL queries. Whenever you search, edit or delete data your web application issues a series of SQL queries, gets results back and displays it on the web page. Understanding the basics of SQL will help you build better apps and find errors faster.

Our code generators come will handy option to display all SQL queries application executes. For this purpose you can add the following line of code to AfterApplicationInitialized event:

In PHPRunner

$dDebug = true;

The code in this article was updated to be compatible with version 10.x of PHPRunner, ASPRunner.NET and ASPRunnerPro.

Similar to Excel-like grid discussed in previous article this technique helps you to achieve similar goals. Instead of bringing up the whole edit page you can click that single field you need to edit, change its value and see your changes posted to the database automatically.

Continue Reading "In-place editing"

Some applications may require to provide users with quick editing capabilities. While Inline Edit does just that entering inline edit mode for multiple records can be painful. It would be much easier is some or all fields appear as edit controls when page is loaded.

While PHPRunner/ASPRunner.NET/ASPRunnerPro do not have such functionality built-in it’s fairly easy to implement it in your project. In this sample project we’ll show how to make fields ProductName, UnitPrice and Discontinued editable automatically. For now we only support text boxes and check boxes. Data is saved automatically once you leave the text box or check off check box. To see that data is actually saved in the database simply reload the page.

You can also see how server-side validation works. Enter Unit Price that is less than $20 and move to the next field to see it in action. Record won’t be saved until you enter $20 or more price value.
