I have ready to use PHP generic components that let you do exactly what are asking for: add, edit, update and delete database records from Web based forms with database based validations checks. I am just awaiting for some free time to add the necessary documentation to make them useful to everybody. Meanwhile you may want to look already into these PHP components that let you generate and validate HTML forms and run database independent access operations, as the components that I will be releasing are based om these two. http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/1 http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20 Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
