Code generation tool/framework for PHP

Question

As far as I know, many PHP frameworks use syntactic sugar to provide illusion of real functions. Some provide scaffolding/skeleton generation, which is limited. Syntactic sugar is slow and IDE/editors do not provide intellisense for Syntactic sugar functions/methods and member data. I'm wondering if there any tool/framework to generate PHP code based on some popular frameworks and built around a relational schema? Thanks in advance.
