Scaffolding for PHP [closed]

Question

Is there any thing in PHP to create basic scaffold, like in Rails?

EDIT: I need something to prototype quickly..

Answer 1

Some frameworks like Symfony, CakePHP, Akelos, CodeIgniter and others have support for scaffolding.

However if you don't want to use a framework you can try phpScaffold which generates CRUD scaffold pages based on phpMyAdmin table exports...

Answer 2

I also wanted some fast prototyping, but I wanted it to generate the code, so it's easy to update it. I made many improvements on phpScaffold (HTML5, nice CSS, many models at once, etc) which are published on http://github.com/tute/phpscaffold.

Answer 3

Phreeze makes this simple and easy. http://phreeze.com/

Answer 4

QCodo is another great option. And since it uses reflection to do Code Generation instead of reflection at runtime, you'll likely see better performance.

Answer 5

First, Rails is a framework. PHP is a language. PHP does not have built-in scaffolding support, just as Ruby--the language Rails is build on--does not. A framework like CakePHP, however, does support scaffolding.

Second, I see that you raised an objection to CakePHP because "you still have to do a bunch of stuff." That's true--with any framework, you're going to have to learn new conventions, configurations etc.
