Enovation was engaged by one of his long term clients in the Health education sector to aid and enable them in designing a solution for the management of curricular activities. The college had an immediate requirement to replace an existing expensive, commercial online database, with a bespoke system which could better manage their curriculum and student rotations within training hospitals. The project was quite large, and the clock was ticking; it was time to learn a new framework, and fast!
The post talks about what the needs of the project were fast development, the ability to perform the usual CRUD on multiple tables and an app that would be secure. The Admin Generator made most of these requests simple - as easy as running a few commands.

DB2 9 pureXML technology allows businesses to improve data integrity and avoid legacy data lock-in. It enables application developers to utilize the best storage medium for the task and eliminate the middle-tier application logic previously required to take advantage of Web services.

PHP's role in the creation is to generate the XML that the system needs to communicate between the application and the database.
