I have used two solutions for that. I have somewhere a script, to which
you input your fieldnames in a form, and the script generates the class
skeleteon, with fields, getters, setters and indentation.

Field $name becomes function getName() and setName($param) etc..

I've also done a helper, which did all that from database, but I think
that was in java and few years back. I can try and remember to post
that script here, if I remember when I go to the office. That will be
earliest saturday, latest next wednesday.

Writing that kind of script is actually not that huge task.

$src = "Class " . $_POST["class_name"]. " { \n\n";
$src .= "\t\$" . $fieldname . ";\n\n";
$src .= "\tget" . ucfirst($fieldname) . "() {\n";
$src .= "\t\treturn \$this->" . $fieldname . ";\n";

And so on. Just output that and copy/paste - or generate the file with
your script.
