PHP framework for quickly building an interface based on DB relations

I have a simple database:

FilmStudios
FilmStudio-DVDs
DVDs
Actors
Actors-DVDs
DVD-Scenes

A few more tables... I'd like to know if there is a PHP framework that I could just input the db relationships into, and get a quick and dirty interface for browsing the information...

Ideally, it would spit out code that I could then massage into a more finished product.

Typical frameworks are not very good at managing User Interface and focus primarily on the back-end / MVC part. You should look for Web User Interface Framework.

Here is a sample of what might achieve in Agile Toolkit with minimum coding:

enter image description here

There is also a Model Generator add-on and many other enhancements. For as start, you will be fine using "Tabs" and "CRUD".

Take a look at Codigniter.

It won't do everything for you, but it makes it a lot easier.

Have a look at their example video for a start, and move on to what you need to do from there.

You don't necessarily need a framework, you can do what you describe using an ORM, but I have included frameworks for the sake of completeness:

ORMs:

Frameworks:

There are several more frameworks, which will bubble to the top of a google search on 'php frameworks', the above listed are the major players.
