Instead of using elfinder to browse files. Can I use elfinder to browse Items from database like MySQL.
I'm working on MVC.net
Thanks
Not with elFinder, no, but you can use other open source tools such as Adminer, which works very nicely. Adminer requires PHP.

Note this is for general overall DBA tasks for the person running the site, if your aim is to provide limited access to update and retrieve things out of MySQL for end-users usually people code this up themselves, half the web is app servers querying MySQL for stuff.

i have researched that doing backup and restoring mysql databases is done through phpmyadmin.
I just want to ask, is it possible to have a button in a webpage that will let the user automatically backup a database and send it to his/her desired email account? the backup will be in a zip file.
Just a couple of things
1) phpMyAdmin is just a GUI to manage a mysql database. Basically just a user friendly way to interact with the db without having to use command line.
2)What you want to do is certainly possible in various ways.
You need some sort of server. If you are new to programming you could use an apache server and php as backend technology ( use xampp for a ready to use hosting environment ).
Basically the tasks are the following :
1)Serve a webpage with a button
2)On click of button call another page that connects to the db, backs it up, saves the backup to disk and then emails it. I'm sure there are lots of examples on the web, just make a quick google search :)
Yes it is possible to do that with php or any other server side language which have a functions to deal with MySQL or any type of database
You can program it , here is a good answer on that

Here is the code on github which could help you.https://github.com/tazotodua/useful-php-scripts/blob/master/export-mysql-database-sql-backup.php
I have a client who wants a control panel for the app I am developing them. The control panel is a Mac OSX application that allows the user to submit files (excel docs and such) to my MySQL database. Those files are then checked by the iOS app I have created for them.
I have no idea how to do this. I have the MySQL database all set up, and I have looked everywhere for a solution. Any help is appreciated.
I wouldn't try to connect to your MySQL database directly from your cell phone. It's a bad design for several reasons. Instead build a API on the same server as the MySQL database. It doesn't matter if you do it in java, php, c# or anything else. You might even find some product or open source project that can do this automatically. I've listed some benefits of doing it this way
It makes testing easier. You can write a test framework against your API that doesn't rely on or is using a phone.
It makes development faster. You don't need to emulate or use a phone to develop and test your table design and queries.
It gives you compatibility. When you need to change your database (and you do) you can create new APIs that the new version of the app uses while and old version still out there can continue to use the old API (that you might have to modify to still provide the same functionallity)
It gives you flexibility. If your user base grows and you might need to have replication for reads or sharded databases you build that into the API instead of into the app which is just a better way to do it.
One option would be to use PHP to handle all the database interaction.
Host the scripts on the server and just have the apps call them and get the scripts to return some sort of parseable response (I'd go for JSON).
I have never found a suitable Object-C based connector for MySQL. At this point I would suggest using a C/C++ connector. There's lots of examples of how to configure the connector for both C and C++. The hard part will be all of the data passed from the MySQL code and the Object-C code will that it will have to be in C types.
EDIT: An Example
Is there a way to use a MYSQL database without the database management system.. Like use tables offline without installing the db management system on the machine..
If there is can you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
As far as I know, there is no way to do this.
However, there is a portable DBMS SQLIte. It comes in different ways and can be used on other platform with different programming languages.
After reading your comment, I'm almost sure, this is what you need.
It's not that fast as MySQL I guess, but it works.
You can use The embedded MySQL Server Library to access MySQL data files without running the MySQL server.
You can setup a database to work on your localhost. This will be offline unless you setup the front-end stuff to let the internet interact with it.
What exactly do you mean "without the database management system"? You always need a way of interacting with it, even if it is offline. (Otherwise how can it work for you?)
The server side piece of the application, mysql-server, is needed at a minumum to run mysql. This server application comes with all the tools built-in to manage the instance. I doubt you can prevent installation of this.
If you've actually opened the table files in a hex or text editor, you'll see that you will definitely need the mysql application installed to make any sense of them to use them. Sure the records are all there in plain text (.myd files for myisam, the ibdata1 file for innodb tables), but it would be a complete time-waster devising a custom app to parse or update the file structure, as well as trying to tie in table structure contained in the related files for each table.
Right now, in my internship, I'm assigned to create a system that holds employee information such as personal info, education, salary, etc.
All these stuff is kept in a few spreadsheets right now. I need a basic program, but I feel like I should be using MySQL or another database solution to hold the data. I used MySQL before, but it was a PHP/MySQL assignment which I used Wampserver to create the whole system.
Edit: The system will be used by a few computers across the network. When someone makes a change to the system, it will become visible to other computers aswell. (obviously) (Before the edit, I thought that it's gonna be used by a single computer.)
I'm confused right now. Should I create a PHP/MySQL webpage with wampserver (or similar) to hold the information, or not?
Would it be easier or better to combine MySQL with some other programming language (such as Java/C++) and build a GUI? (I doubt it)
Should I come up with a different solution? Without database usage?
Database usage would be the best option. In the end it will come down to what you are more comfortable using, Java/C++ or php, for what you want to do either can work, but remember the database will need to be live at all times and using wamp server wont cut it. You need to learn how to tun a mysql server without wamp, which is easy(Google is awesome). And personally I would have used Java because Java is also easy to link with mysql, just google it a bit, and java doesn't need to run on a server so no wamp needed as you would have needed for php.
EDIT:
Ok if I understand you correctly what you want to do is the following:
1. Identify a pc to be used as a server and assign it a static IP.
2. This must also be the pc that is turned on first every day and turned of last.
3. Create a front end client application that connects to your sql server that you will be running on the server machine.
Now I am assuming this network is rather small, so you wont need a specific computer to just act as server. The server can also be one of the client machines.
The best approach would be to create a mysql server and make sure the firewall is not blocking your sql server. Then create a client application that can access the database over the network using Java, I find this easier than creating a php server for the users because of port forwarding for an apache server is time consuming, I did it once and never again. Java will be easiest to make the application work over the network. Use Netbeans for the development, it's an awesome IDE and it makes life easier when setting up the database connection.
If you have anymore questions please ask in comment, and I will elaborate, since this might be a bit vague lol.
Of course you should use a database for this type of work. That is the best way to organize, search, sort and filter your data without having to reinvent the wheel.
As to the other questions, the choice of language and environment is up to you to decide after evaluating the needs of your application.
Your solution should use a database to store the data and an front-end application to manage the data.
The database and front-end should be seen as two separate layers. In other words create the database using whatever database your are familiar with eg: MySQL and likewise create the front-end using whatever technology youre familiar with eg: PHP.
Personally for this type of requirement i would typically use MySQL / SQLExpress and ASP.Net / MVC3 front-end.
Hope this is helpful.
My web app uses mysql to store contact data. I'd like to sync this data via carddav with mobile devices. I understand carddav is based on a file system, not a database. What software is available to act as an interface or wrapper to make the carddav server work with mysql? or other relational database?
You might want to take a look at Bedework.
Baikal just added this feature!!!
Most dav servers are file system based. If you use SabreDav you can build a virtual filesystem based on your own backend. Baikal is a project that uses sabredav, and a virtual file system. Until recently it stored its data in sqllite. Now it supports both mysql and sqlite.
Its still not 100% mature, but its a great starting point. Playing around with it, I have been able to create contacts directly in the DB (by uploading vcard blobs to a table) and then having them show on my ipad addressbook.
After evaluating many systems, ones built on sabredav like baikal tend to be the simplest to build on. Fruxx is something else you may also check out. Its a hosted system, but will soon have an api.
Last if you are looking for a very elaborate system, then take a look at tine20. It supports activesync (illegally in the usa), carddav, caldav, and has a decent extjs web ui. It natively stores contact information in its mysql store, which is nice since you can update a contact through a sql statement without having to build a vcf file. Where tine doesnt make sense is that it uses a bit more resources because of all the features it offers, and the complexity has ensured that it has a VERY complicated database schema. In other words, you are probably better off creating a rest api on the tine source code rather than doing bare sql inserts.
