If you have access to a PHP server, follow the instructions below to create an AppML server application.
If you don't have access to a PHP server, follow the WebMatrix instructions.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Create a Database Connection
If you have access to a Database, follow the instructions below to create an AppML database connection.
If you don't have access to a Database, follow the WebMatrix instructions.
Define a database connection, and save it on the server as appml_config.php:
appml_config.php
<?php echo("Access Forbidden");exit();?>
{
"dateformat" : "yyyy-mm-dd",
"databases" : [{
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"host" : "localhost",
"dbname" : "DemoDB",
"username" : "DemoDBUkbn5",
"password" : "l6|U6=V(*T+P"
}]
}
The connection above is not real. Names and passwords are examples.
Configuration File Explained:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| dateformat | The date format you will use in your models |
| connection | The connection name you will use in your models |
| host | The IP or hostname for the database |
| dbname | The database name |
| username | The database user name |
| password | The database password |
Copy AppML
Download the file: http://www.w3ii.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.php.txt.
Copy the file to your web site. Rename it to appml.php.
Create a Database Table
Create a model for creating a Customers table in the database.
create_customers.js
{
"database" : {
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"execute" : [
"DROP
TABLE IF EXISTS Customers",
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Customers (CustomerID
INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,(CustomerID),CustomerName NVARCHAR(255),ContactName NVARCHAR(255),Address NVARCHAR(255),City
NVARCHAR(255),PostalCode NVARCHAR(255),Country NVARCHAR(255))",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Alfreds Futterkiste\",\"Maria Anders\",\"Obere Str.
57\",\"Berlin\",\"12209\",\"Germany\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Around the Horn\",\"Thomas Hardy\",\"120 Hanover
Sq.\",\"London\",\"WA1 1DP\",\"UK\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Blauer See Delikatessen\",\"Hanna Moos\",\"Forsterstr.
57\",\"Mannheim\",\"68306\",\"Germany\")"
]
}}
Create an HTML page for running the create_customers.js model:
create_customers.htm
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://www.w3ii.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"></script>
<body>
<div appml-data="appml.php?model=create_customers"></div>
</body>
</html>
Run the HTML page in your browser.
Create an Application Model

customers.js
{
"rowsperpage" : 10,
"database" : {
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"sql" : "SELECT * FROM Customers",
"orderby" : "CustomerName"
}
}
Create an HTML page for running the customers application:
customers.htm
