I have been using PHPRunner for more than fourteen years.
It's save me at least 50% more time rather than develop more than 10 projects using conventional method. Great thanks to Xlinesoft team for delivering such a great software.

I’m pleased to recommend PhPRunner, which I have used consistently for the past 13 years. During this time, I have created numerous projects with it across various requirements, and it has proven to be a dependable and highly practical tool for developing database-driven web applications.

One of the greatest benefits I’ve experienced is the amount of time and effort PhPRunner has saved me. Its approach to rapid application development significantly reduces repetitive work and helps move projects from conception to delivery much more quickly than traditional build-from-scratch development.

I also appreciate that PhPRunner offers a comprehensive set of ready-made templates that address real-world scenarios. These templates provide an excellent starting point and can be adapted swiftly to suit different business workflows, further accelerating development while maintaining a professional finish.

Based on my long-term experience, I can confidently state that PhPRunner is a solid choice for anyone seeking to build and maintain web applications efficiently.

I use PHPRunner since version 5 (2008) now I am at version 11.2. It is a RAD tool for developing PHP front ends for almost every type of database and I found it extremely easy to use. The interface is intuitive and the flow is natural: tables design, query, security, design, style, events coding. If you are not very proficient in PHP, JS, CSS, HTML the solution still works out of the box for creating a very feature rich front end with CRUD functionalities for your databases. What I like is that you can connect directly or through tunnel to your database and is is extremely easy to implement custom code if you have the knowledge in order to extend the default functionalities. I can insert PHP code snippets directly in pages, add CSS at global level or granular on one page, one control and use events that cover every situation (both server side and client side). The customer support is good - they answer quite fast when you have a problem and there is a quite solid community on their support forums. They also have a market with plugins that extend functionalities or provide integration for very low prices and they simply work . You can also find youtube channels with tutorials about the functionalities and how to expand them.

I've been using phprunner for over 15 years. Started with no php or mysql knowledge and created a usefull website in no time.

Over the years learned more features and websites became more professional.

Sergey is very helpfull and support answers questions within a day.

Highly recommended!

Over the years, PHPRunner has enabled us to consolidate and replace a variety of disparate systems by developing tailored solutions in-house. Using PHPRunner, we have successfully replaced multiple third-party applications - including CRM, finance, and inventory systems - with a single, cohesive platform designed specifically for our operational needs.

I first came across PHPRunner over 20 years ago and immediately saw the benefits for applications using a centralised database and code with all the messy UI components generated automatically. Since then I have created several large mission critical business applications for three different organisations using PHPRunner. Over the years it has continued to be developed and maintains an enthusiastic and active user base. The most recent major update (version 11) is great for my workflow - being able to switch easily between two different workstations with all of the code stored in a single site database. I am definitely a long-term fan!!

The fact that PHPRunner has been around for 20+ years says it all really, its reliable well supported by the team at Xlinesoft and it just gets better with each update. The backup and support from Xlinesoft is first class and there is a very active and supportive user community.
I have built a lot of commercial apps over the past 20 years using PHPRunner, in my opinion its the best application for building web based data applications.
If you are looking to develop web based data applications look no further..

I have been using PHPRunner for more than 10 years, and it has been an outstanding tool for building database-driven web applications. I actually started with no coding experience, yet PHPRunner allowed me to quickly learn and progressively build fully functional and secure applications.

What makes PHPRunner particularly powerful is how fast it turns an idea into a working system. You can generate a complete application structure in minutes and then extend it using the many event hooks, custom code pages, and external files available in the framework. This makes it suitable for both simple applications and highly sophisticated enterprise solutions.

Over the years I have built multiple production-grade applications with authentication, role-based security, dashboards, analytics, and complex business logic. The event-driven architecture gives developers a lot of control while still maintaining a structured framework.

With AI-assisted coding, PHPRunner has become even more powerful. It is now easier than ever to implement advanced features and automation within applications.

Some people point to the default UI as not being the most modern, but this is not really a limitation. The snippet and customisation features allow you to build highly dynamic interfaces that can look and behave like modern React-style dashboards.

Finally, PHPRunner benefits from a strong knowledge base, active forum, and a developer team that continuously improves the product. After a decade of use, it remains one of the most practical tools for building powerful web applications quickly.

It's been great. Have been using it for over 10 years and has been of great value for my business. Our customers also like the websites we build with it.

I can't program in PHP but as someone who used to program, a long time ago, PHPRunner does everything for me and does it fast and it does it well.

Once I design the data base, PHPRunner does the rest and creates very atractive looking applications that are then very easy to maintain and grow as my client's requirements change.

Without PHPRunner I would not be able to develop an application, my programming skills are not up to date. I can however design a relational data base, then I can rely on PHPRunner to actually write the code. This also saves me a lot of time as I don't need to actually write, test, debug and repeat the process until the system does what I want. PHPRunner get's it right first time and has done for me for over 10 years.

I have two clients who used to maintain their clients' data in spreadsheets that they couldn't share very well among the team.

I designed the relational Data Bases based on their spreadsheets and their additional requirements and built the two systems in PHPRunner.

Suddenly every member of both teams could access their clients' data whether working in the offices or working from home.

Since then, and over the many years I've been maintaining and updating the systems, PHPRunner has itself been improved, updated and always been terrifically reliable.

Well back in 2010, i was looking for a software to help me develop an aplication to manage my starting delivery and courier company. i try a lot of diferent software, until i found Phprunner, and have to say, it is one of the best software, we have grow with it, i´m only dedicated to develop our tool call sender, now thanks to PHPRUNNER, is a well known app that every transport company and client of ours use, Thank you Sergey, without your tool it was not possible to be on this new era on the transport and courier business, customer wants always the information online, special KPI and reports, we have achive this using PHPrunner, and the most important an easy and fast, code and deploy.

I’ve been using this software for 13 years and have built 30+ projects and applications with it. It has saved me hundreds of hours of development time by making it easy to quickly build and deploy data-driven applications. It’s been an extremely reliable tool and a key part of my workflow for over a decade.

PHPRunner is the best low code tool for making CRUD online databases I've ever come across. What makes it particularly good is 1) Built applications are copyright free and totally scalable 2) Infinite number of applications can be built 3) You get an eternal licence to the product at time of purchase so even if you don't renew your licence you will still be able to maintain your applications - upgrading the product allows you to continue benefiting from upgrade and development. 4) It builds complicated CRUD applications that are maintainable can be used with AI but reduces the risk of cognitive debt by having zero structure and all AI

PHPRunner is an outstanding tool for anyone looking to build professional web applications quickly and efficiently. One of its strongest advantages is the ability to generate clean, well‑structured PHP code, dramatically reducing development time without compromising flexibility or quality.
The visual interface is intuitive and thoughtfully designed: even users with limited programming experience can create complex CRUD operations, customized forms, dynamic dashboards, and detailed reports thanks to its guided wizards and configuration panels. Database integration — including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle — works seamlessly, and the option to extend functionality with custom events and scripts offers a high degree of control for more advanced developers.
Using it for over ten years, the last last release it's a game changer about RAD. Personally used to build application to manage the caos of data during Covid period. The,n more then 15 web application about HR, job rotation, salary review, software license manager etc

I have been using PHPRunner since 2009 to build database-driven applications, even without prior experience building web applications. During that time, I’ve created multiple internal systems and business tools using MySQL, including inventory systems, reporting dashboards, and custom management applications.

What I like most about PHPRunner is how much development time it saves. Tasks that normally take days or weeks can often be completed in hours. The ability to quickly generate a working web interface connected to a database makes it extremely valuable for rapid application development.

For developers who need to build internal tools, administrative systems, or database applications quickly, PHPRunner is a very practical and powerful solution.

I work with a charity that was very limited in its IT resources so much so as the CEO with a background in IT I was the only driver of IT progression. Started using PHPRunner in 2017 as a demo before purchase along with other similar products but stuck with PHPRunner because of its functionality, ease of use and time from concept to production. I am the only developer and we now operate all of our business applications (not payroll or accounts) on our in house web server with approx. 120 staff accessing 1 or more of the 21 applications we are running. The development of PHPRUNNER to v11.2 has increased the speed of development and stability. I can literally have a working prototype up and running within a day. Would recommend this without question as a rapid deployment for small and med sized business

I'm using phrunner for more than 10 years, on different types of db MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC as400 and Microsoft sql. it's possible to create an application ready to use in 15 minute.
Phprunner is for every level, if you are a beginner you can create a project in visual mode but if you are a programmer phprunner let you create amazing applications, saving time on graphical, security and lot of the parts of the code, you will have more time for design the project and write the custom code lines.

Excellent in every department.
Product quality.
Amazing support.
Value for money.
ROI - unbelievable, mind blowing, nothing else comes close

I am working on a rewrite of an Access case management system that I built 12 years and have supported ever since. I am amazed by how relatively easy it has been to build and get the features I needed. Support here on the PHPRUnner User Group on Facebook is very fast and helpful. Since I am in the 12 months after licensing, I get free support via email from the company (not code) and it has been very responsive. The most difficult part for me has been in figuring out the code I need to write to do special things. Again great support from other users.
I have been making a list of places to get help or training available for PhpRunner. Cory's videos are wonderful, the vendor has Live Demos where you can run them to see what is possible and download the project and data and run locally and see how it was built. I could go on and on about resources available to help you.
