DDL to PHP Array

Tool Guide

About the Database DDL to PHP Array Tool

The database DDL to PHP array tool is an online development aid that quickly converts database table-creation statements (DDL) into PHP arrays.

This tool supports pasting standard MySQL table-creation statements and automatically parses field names, types, comments, and other information to generate a well-formatted PHP array structure.

It is widely used in back-end API development, model definition, code generation, and other scenarios, saving manual conversion time and improving development efficiency.

The conversion tool is convenient to use, processes online in the browser with no environment installation needed, supports one-click copy, and is suitable for the data modeling needs of mainstream PHP frameworks such as Laravel and ThinkPHP.

How to Use the Database DDL to PHP Array Tool

Step 1: Paste the complete CREATE TABLE statement into the input box. The tool supports standard MySQL syntax; we recommend ensuring the syntax is correct and the field comments are complete, so that field information can be parsed more accurately.

Step 2: The system automatically analyzes the DDL content, extracts each field's name, data type, comment, and other attributes, converts them into a clearly structured PHP associative array, and displays it in the result box below in real time.

Step 3: Edit the result as needed. You can directly copy the generated PHP code, or modify the field structure, add comments, or adjust the format on the page.
