Auto back-end generator [closed]

Question

Is there any PHP application that can automatically generate add/edit forms and listing pages by just reading the database. Like PhpMyAdmin but highly customizable through code or configuration files. The main reason is to avoid time spent on development of back-end of web applications.

Answer 1

Try a framework, like CakePHP or Symfony. Almost all frameworks offer scaffolding for the backend part of the app. Here's the Cake way, and here's the Symfony way.

Answer 2

Symfony (using Propel or Doctrine) may have just what you're looking for: define the tables and their relationships, and it will generate the models for them, from which it can again generate admin listing/add/edit forms.
