What is a django-like framework for PHP with auto-generated CRUD pages?

Question

I'm looking for a simple MVC framework for PHP and would like something that handles basic user auth (for the admin) and generates it's own CRUD pages out of the box.

Edit: I'd really like something that creates these admin pages on the fly or "automatically" instead of the whole "baking" concept or having to manually update the CRUD pages via some generator.

Answer 1

Have you tried CakePHP?

Using bake you can generate Models, Views and Controllers with CRUD.
Cake also has a Security component and Access Control Lists (ACL).

Answer 2

Symfony has a great admin generator based on ORM models.

Answer 4

In case you are using MySQL, a not-so-sexy yet often adequate solution is to use phpMyAdmin as a rudimentary admin interface. With phpMyAdmin you can get things going, and later on, when really in a need of one, you can use your PHP framework's capabilities to generate a nicer admin interface.

It may also well be that you are actually not looking for an admin GUI, but rather for somekind of a CMS. For instance Drupal is a PHP-based CMS that allows you to create all kind of custom content. It also readily provides administration and content creation interfaces out-of-the-box.

Can you specify in a little more detail: who is going to use the admin interface? Are all end-users going to use it? Or do you share admin accounts only for several managers/webmasters? Also what kind of data repository are you using?

If you want a more specific answer, please provide more details on the question (see above).
