Go for PHP (and maybe Apache)
I personally would like to see a good configuration tool for php.ini, there are too many posts of guys that are not able to use all options because they are not configuring it correctly (on windows
).Please don't waste time on another db frontend, even if it is a wonderful exercise to understand how to administer it (rather contribute to one of those projects). BTW dcaillouet, very nice tool!

Thanks pabloj. If y'all decide to do what pabloj asks, I have a couple of suggestions.
1. One tool that I use that has lots of different configuration parameters but is still easy to understand is Wise Install Master. I've attached a .jpg for those who are unfamiliar with it. It has 6 catagories with subcatagories across the top. Click on any one of those and it brings you to the screen to configure that section of the install script. If you click on the Script Editor button at the bottom of the form, it takes you to the script that is being created. In other words the script is being created in real time. This change is bi-directional. If you change the script, it changes the forms & checkboxes on the GUI side as well. You can work from the GUI side or the script side and your changes are reflected in both places. In addition to using the GUI to build the script, the Script Editor has a list of actions on the left-hand side that can be dragged-and-dropped into the script. When you finish, there's a Test button at the bottom of the form to test the validity of the script. Then there's a Distribute button to move the install to a local directory or ftp it to a remote box. If you could figure out a way to use something like this to create configuration .ini files, that would be cool. 2. My second suggestion would be to design it so that the program framework could easily be changed to create any .ini file. Don't hardcode anything PHP specific in critical areas. Design the PHP specifics as a "plug-in" that could easily be exchanged for another set of criteria to create a different .ini file. |
