Phantom - PHP Builder for Mobile APP 3.0

Phantom is a two-part system (an iOS client app and a PHP server module) that lets you design and run custom mobile client-server applications. The iOS app provides a designer, form generator, viewers and event handlers; the server scripts generate menus, forms and requests and connect to server resources and databases.

You need an iOS device (requires iOS/iPadOS 8.1 or later) and a web server with PHP where you can upload the provided server module (via the app's built-in FTP client or other FTP tool). You will also edit configuration PHP files on the server (builder_config.php, builder_mysql.php, builder_forms.php, builder_tasks.php).

Phantom is designed to let you create applications using the included generators and scripts, but it uses PHP on the server side. Basic familiarity with PHP, editing PHP files and working with server-side resources will be required to configure and extend applications beyond built-in templates.

Primary files to edit on your server are builder_config.php (application configuration), builder_mysql.php (database access settings), builder_forms.php (menus, buttons, forms and structure) and builder_tasks.php (server-side tasks and request processing).

Phantom can access databases and server resources, perform processing with PHP and display results in text, graphics and multimedia formats. It provides multi-level menus, form controls, search and processing elements and built-in viewers for different content types.

No. Phantom does not contain full examples of specific service implementations. It includes a limited number of example features. You should consult the documentation that comes with the server module for guidance on building your own applications.

The iOS app is listed on the App Store (size ~36.7 MB). The app is free to download but includes an in-app purchase called "Service Admin" priced at $9.99. Additional costs may include your web hosting and any development time to configure server scripts.

The App Store listing indicates compatibility with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch (iOS 8.1+). The developer has provided minimal privacy details in the App Store record and may be required to add more when submitting updates. The app has had updates and bug-fix releases in the past; check the App Store for the latest version notes.

Phantom connects to your server and requires you to manage server-side scripts and credentials (builder_mysql.php and FTP). Security depends on how you configure and secure your server and credentials. One user review on the App Store claimed a security incident, but that is a single user comment; you should follow best practices (secure server configuration, up-to-date PHP, strong passwords, TLS/SSL for connections) and test thoroughly before production use.

Documentation for building applications is included with the server module you upload to your server; the App Store listing and the developer website (https://appmobile.biz) provide links. For help, consult the module documentation, the developer contact on the App Store (EAST TELECOM Corp.), or the support/contact info on the developer website.
