Hi, I'm looking for a grid control for a project I'm doing in PHP.

Are there any good recommendations?

Ideally, it'd have a data entry mode similar to a spreadsheet where the user could enter row after row after row, without needing to click new/edit buttons or links.

A: 

You probably want to have a simple PHP script that is called via ajax. That way the user can continually enter data into cells while it is saved in the background, and the user won't have to reload the page.

Are there any grids that would work with this very simply?I am assuming I could do this with extjs if I had enough time to spend, unfortunately, I am looking for the quick route on this one for the moment.

I'm not sure on that one, you might try looking at some of the Google Libraries, but I'm not sure

You might want to take a look at KoolGrid and phpGrid

Both are very powerful and similarly priced.

Use ExtJS for your front-end (editable grid demo), and PHP scripts to do the actual data processing. You won't regret it :p.

BTW It is not cheap for commercial use (ie. when you want to distribute your application - you don't need a commercial license if your app is for internal/intranet use only), but imho it's money well spent.
