Technology behind the scenes

Database

phpMyERD works with MySql v5.0+.

Browsers

phpMyERD shows tables and columns using HTML5 and the canvas tag. phpMyERD allows you to organise and move tables and foreign keys move with the tables. The browser interaction is done with javascript. Table's state can be saved for future use. You can export the diagram as a png image. This might help you to print it easier. Many developer teams pin up their database schema to a wall in the office.

Web Servers

All php5 enabled web servers should work but mysqli must be installed also. We just tested with Apache until now. If you make it work with different servers please drop us a line.
