DaDaBIK is a free PHP application that allows you to easily create a highly customizable front-end for a MySQL database in order to search, insert, update and delete records; all you need do is specify a few configuration parameters.

The strength of DaDaBIK lies in its ability to be customized. For each field of a table you can choose:

• if the field should be included or not in the search/insert/update form and results table
• the form label (what will appear in the form near the input field)
• the content of the field (e.g. numeric, alphabetic, e-mail, url......)
• the input type (e.g. select, date, text, rich text editor, password......)
• the possible values, also driven from another table (foreign key support)
• and more......

It is possible to handle multiple tables. Other features include file uploading, export to CSV, checking for possible duplication during an insert, authentication and authorization restrictions on view/update/delete.

The graphic layout of DaDaBIK is customizable to enable embedding of the forms in your own site.

DaDaBIK differs from other applications like PHPMyAdmin in that it aims not to enable the complete administration of a MySQL database, but rather to easily create a simple and customizable Web application that manage a group of MySQL tables by allowing search/insert/update/delete operation. DaDaBIK's target user is not the DB administrator but rather the final user.

DaDaBIK is available in Italian, English, Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Croatian, Polish, Catalan, Estonian and Rumanian.
