Sounds like a job for MVC generators, like Cake or Symfony. I used Symfony at one time and it was pretty good. Cake is probably more popular, due to better accessibility of the literature. There is also something called "project Laravel" which uses Symfony components. I am not particularly interested in Laravel because the databases that I usually work with, Oracle and DB2, are not among the supported ones. MySQL is, so you may find it quite useful. -- Mladen Gogala The Oracle Whisperer http://mgogala.byethost5.com
