I'm working on a database application, and I'd like to write a function that takes the table structure from a MySQL database table and generates a fresh data entry form from it each time someone browses to it.

That way I can have four functions that serve the four purposes of data entry, view/query, edit, and delete, instead of 4 scripts for each table (the application has 64 tables so far) that have to be editted every time the table changes.

Is it possible to use PHP to generate data entry forms on the fly?  

Does anyone have any recommendation for a reference resource or some sample code to study for this?
