  1. Adminer

    Database management in a single PHP file

    To be fair it's the actual releases that are in a single file.

    Development evidently happens in the traditional sense with the project in a nicely defined tree.

    The build process looks pretty gnarly, but it works! https://github.com/vrana/adminer/blob/master/compile.php

  3. pgweb

    Cross-platform client for PostgreSQL databases

    Another in this vein is "pgweb" for PostgreSQL, just need a binary to run its web interface.

  4. pla

    Official github clone of the phpLiteAdmin repository

  5. PsySH

    A REPL for PHP

    I do similar things with Elixir scripts, though commonly I still turn to PHP because there is some single file library that does what I want with a lot less ceremony than the Java variety would require.

    There's also PsySH, https://psysh.org/, for being something other than a Common Lisp or BEAM interface it's a very nice REPL. Besides Picolisp and iex it's the interactive programming environment I use the most.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
