Yes, there is. Check out PEAR::DB or PEAR::MDB which both have good classes for preparing INSERT and UPDATE statements, as well as for finding out information about what columns and datatypes a table has (which is what I think you are most interested in). These are really easy-to-use classes, too.
Then, I would also suggest checking out the PEAR::HTML_QuickForm class, as it has functions you can use to generate HTML forms.
