php generator sample

[John R. Sowden]

I have been writing applications for my company in dbase II(CP/M),
foxbase, and foxpro(DOS) since 1980. It seems that the sql databases
require me to learn a new language (usually C related) in order to
create applications that access the databases. Now I just found a php
generator, but I could find no sample to see what the code looks like,
or run a sample application. Does this exist? I run Ubuntu Linux 12.10
if that is an issue.

There are postgres bindings for a host of languages.

As you're on ubuntu try this
apt-cache search postgres (maybe pipe to less ;}) and look through the list...
you'll find support for perl, python, haskell, c, c++ ... if you want
to build your
own (platform independent) GUIs investigate Qt ...

Now I just found a php generator, but I could

Not sure how you searched, but there ARE examples out there.

Just to name one ... if you're into books have a look at
