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.
