PHP

PHP export lets you generate PHP-ready source code from grid data.

What is PHP Data Output?​

AnyWayData can export each row as either:

  • an anonymous associative array (map/dictionary style)
  • a named class instance

Rows are then wrapped in an outer collection that can be rendered as:

  • array(...)
  • [ ... ]

You can also assign that collection to a named variable.

How is PHP output different from JSON?​

JSON is a language-neutral data format.

PHP output uses PHP syntax directly, including:

  • $variable = ...
  • associative arrays with =>
  • optional class definitions and new ClassName(...) rows

AnyWayData Support for PHP​

AnyWayData currently supports exporting data to PHP format.

See PHP Options for configuration details.

Unit Test Code Generation​

You can also generate data-driven test scaffolding for PHP using frameworks: phpunit, pest.
