5 Powerful PHP Code Generators
Writing a simple database application in PHP and mySQL can take a lot of time and effort – you will have to design the HTML form, write queries, implement validation/error handling, test the application, etc. You can save yourself a lot of time and reduce development cost if you use a PHP code generator. Code generators are desktop or web-based applications that once installed will allow you to define your database and it will automatically generate all the required HTML, CSS and PHP files. You can then simply update these files to your server and get complete running applications in a few minutes.

I would add DaDaBIK http://www.dadabik.org to this list; even if it doesn’t generate code (you use directly the application) the aim is very similar.

DaDaBIK is opensource

DadaBbik is really a great app, and in some cases I use it almost “as is” for my clients to use it.
Although I strongly support opensource, I do appreciate when I’m receiving free use for a usefui tool, unless of course it traps me inside some proprietary area or sticks me with some proprietary things.
And so I am glad to the the description of the 5 tools given here! Thx for the great job.

Hi everybody! I think you are forgetting CodeCharge. It is also very powerful but not as ScriptCase.
