I am just now getting around to updating my PHPRunner Software on my Dev1 Machine (have been really behind the times lately) and was surprised to find that they have added quite a few new features that are very handy one click type of things, here’s a list:

  • Dynamic permissions
  • Import data from CSV and Excel files
  • Resize images on upload and iBox support
  • Auto-update fields. Automatically insert a value into field every time record is updated (UpdateBy, UpdateTime, IP address of user etc)
  • Visual SQL Editor
  • Add new item to dropdown box as a fully-featured add page in popup
  • Only allow complex passwords (mixed cases, non-alphanumeric characters)
  • Registration confirmation via email
  • CAPTCHA

Probably the first one on the list, Dynamic Permissions, is the one that I have most anxiously been awaiting. I can see how this is going to be very nice. I have been running 4.2 on my notebook pc for a little while now getting acclimated and it operates great, the new enhancements to the visual sql editor are most welcomed!

I know that I have a few folks that hit my blog from time to time that are also hardcore PHPR users, I would be interested in hearing from any of you and your take on the software as well. Just email me or drop me a comment / trackback to your blog on here…
