PHP equivalent of CGI.pm

[Anon]

is there an OO class that has the same functionality of the Perl CGI.pm module.

In particular, I'm looking for a OO way to generate form elements such are textfields, buttons, password_fields, textarea, file upload, etc.

Also of importance is the functionality of CGI.pm to maintain state for the form variables on subsequent posts. (i.e. self referential forms)

thanks
