Project structure
With PHPRunner, you can save all your settings in a single project
file and do not have to go through individual files if you simply
need to change a single label or field format.
Each project in PHPRunner saves to its own directory, which contains
the following subdirectories:
-
visual - Contains modified visual templates.
- tmp - Temporary storage of visual templates.
- output - Directory with output files. You can
change or rename the Output directory).
The Default directory for a new project is C:/Documents and
Settings/Name/My Documents/PHPRunnerProjects/project_name. The
Project file will be saved in the project directory as project_name.phpr.
When you open a project created with a previous version of PHPRunner,
you are prompted to choose a project directory. After you select a
directory, your project file is copied to it. Then the next time you
open your project it will be from the folder you selected, not from
the original location.
If you upload files to the Web server using third party FTP client
software, you must upload the entire contents of the output directory.
When you make a backup of your project, you should include all files
in the project directory together with all subdirectories. At a
minimum, you should backup the project file itself along with all
files in the visual directory.
Click the "Project" button and select from the drop down
list to open an existing project or to save the current one.
Creating new a project
When you create a new project you have two options:

shipped with PHPRunner.
Opening an existing project
To open existing project or save a current one, click Project
button any time.
Saving a project
If you want to save the current project under a different name - for
example, development purposes or to create a backup - select the
"Save Project As" option. A new project directory will be
created and all necessary project files will be copied to it.
Note: PHPRunner
creates a new project automatically upon startup
Saving your project as a Template
You can save your project as a template.
In this case, your database along with your project file and all
files you have edited with the visual editor will be saved.
Note: Save
Project As Template is available only for those projects that
have been built using MS Access database (MySql).
While saving Project As Template you need to type in the template
name you wish your project to be saved under. The template will be
saved in the Business Templates Directory ( by default in C:\Program Files\PHPRunner4.0\templates\business).
Note: After your template is
saved, you can add files that are not generated by PHPRunner to the
template directory.
After that saved Template will be available on the list of templates
when you create a new project.
You can also add a thumbnail image to the template that will be
displayed on templates list. Place an image named preview.gif
(JPG and PNG formats are supported also) to template folder. Image
size should be 130x97.
