[ubuntu-za] Designing a GUI front end for PostgreSQL

Hi all

Seen as I'm having trouble getting PostgreSQL up and running I decided 
to 'jump ahead' and look at the next steps in my "Journey"!!

I'm comfortable with setting-up my database (once I get it working) then 
the next step is to design a GUI front end
(or form) to work with the Database. For this PHP has been suggested.

So I got into various PHP tutorials and again I'm comfortable with this. 
Many aspects of it are close to programming languages I used years ago. 
However all the tutorials teach you about command line use only or Web 
based use.

There is mention that you can develop GUI front ends but I can't find a 
tutorial for this. If I search for GUI front ends I just get pre-written 
Admin ones.

What can you recommend to me to be able to learn how to write my own 
front end or better still a GUI design program to do this?


Thanks

Ian
