AppML PHP

If you have access to a PHP server, follow the instructions below to create an AppML server application.

Create a Test Page

Create a test page and save on your PHP server as customers.htm (or anything you like):

customers.htm

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Customers</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css">

</tr>
<tr appml-repeat="records">
    <td>{{CustomerName}}</td>
    <td>{{City}} </td>

</div>

<script>
var customers = {

Create a Database Connection

If you have access to a Database, follow the instructions below to create an AppML database connection.

Define a database connection, and save it on the server as appml_config.php:

appml_config.php

<?php echo("Access Forbidden");exit();?>
{
"dateformat" : "yyyy-mm-dd",
"databases" : [{
    "connection" : "mydatabase",
    "host" : "localhost",
    "dbname" : "DemoDB",
    "username" : "DemoDBUkbn5",
    "password" : "l6|U6=V(*T+P"
}]
}

The connection above is not real. Names and passwords are examples.

Configuration File Explained:

Property	Description
dateformat	The date format you will use in your models
connection	The connection name you will use in your models
host	The IP or hostname for the database
dbname	The database name
username	The database user name
password	The database password

Copy AppML

Download the file: https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.php.txt.

Copy the file to your web site. Rename it to appml.php.

Create a Database Table

Create a model for creating a Customers table in the database. Save it as create_customers.js:

create_customers.js

{
"database" : {
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"execute" : [
"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Customers",
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Customers (CustomerID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,(CustomerID),CustomerName NVARCHAR(255),ContactName NVARCHAR(255),Address NVARCHAR(255),City NVARCHAR(255),PostalCode NVARCHAR(255),Country NVARCHAR(255))",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Alfreds Futterkiste\",\"Maria Anders\",\"Obere Str. 57\",\"Berlin\",\"12209\",\"Germany\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Around the Horn\",\"Thomas Hardy\",\"120 Hanover Sq.\",\"London\",\"WA1 1DP\",\"UK\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Blauer See Delikatessen\",\"Hanna Moos\",\"Forsterstr. 57\",\"Mannheim\",\"68306\",\"Germany\")"
]
}}

Create an HTML page for running the create_customers.js model:

create_customers.htm

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"></script>
<body>

<div appml-data="appml.php?model=create_customers"></div>

</body>
</html>

Run the HTML page in your browser.

Create an Application Model

Create a model for the customers application. Save it as model_customers.js:

model_customers.js

{
"rowsperpage" : 10,
"database" : {
    "connection" : "mydatabase",
    "sql" : "SELECT * FROM Customers",
    "orderby" : "CustomerName"
}
}

Create an HTML page for running the customers application:

customers.htm

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<title>Customers</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css">
<script src="https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"></script>
<body>

<div class="w3-container" appml-data="appml.php?model=model_customers">
<h1>Customers</h1>
<table class="w3-table-all">
<tr>
    <th>Customer</th>
    <th>City</th>
    <th>Country</th>
</tr>
<tr appml-repeat="records">
    <td>{{CustomerName}}</td>
    <td>{{City}}</td>
    <td>{{Country}}</td>
</tr>
