I don't quite follow why phpformgen doesn't do what you ask.

You might want to take a look at PHPeanuts - AIR this requires an
abstract DB definition.

PHPLens might suit your needs too.

My own humble offering - PfP Studio (http://pfp-
studio.sourceforge.net) does not yet have any database integration -
of course if you'd like to volunteer to write it please drop me an
email (no agencies/tenders pls - there would no payment of any sort).
