MySQL Documentation Generator – Automatic HTML Documentation for Your MySQL Databases

MySQL Documentation Generator is a PHP script that turns a MySQL database into clear, complete HTML documentation without manual writing. Connect it to a database, run the script, and it produces a ready-to-share reference that developers, teams and clients can browse, search and print.

What It Does

The script reads the information stored in your MySQL database and generates documentation covering its tables, columns and relationships. Instead of keeping database knowledge in scattered notes or in one person’s head, you get a single, structured document that makes the whole schema easy to understand at a glance.

Key Features

• Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD): Visualise how database tables relate to each other with a clear, intuitive diagram.
• On-Page Search: Find a specific table, column or detail quickly using the integrated search.
• Navigation Sidebar: Move through every database element and documentation section from one intuitive sidebar.
• Hideable and Resizable Sidebar: Hide the sidebar when you want more reading space, or adjust its width to suit your screen.
• Modern, Redesigned Interface: A clean, professional layout that is easy to read and navigate.
• Fully Responsive Design: View the documentation comfortably on desktops, tablets and mobile devices.
• Printable Design: Print individual database elements or the entire documentation set for offline reference.

Simple Setup and Usage

1. Copy the script files to your server.
2. Enter your database account credentials.
3. Run the script to generate the HTML documentation file.
4. View and share your documentation.

Requirements and Compatibility

The script requires PHP 7 or 8 or newer, and works with PHP 7.x and 8.x and MySQL 5.x and 8.x. It uses no special server functions, so it is compatible with a wide range of standard hosting environments.

Who It Is For

MySQL Documentation Generator is ideal for developers, database administrators, agencies and project teams who need to document, hand over or maintain a MySQL database. It saves time, reduces confusion and gives everyone a reliable reference for how the database is structured.
