Something like phpmyadmin?

Hi everyone,
I have a series of tables stored in a DB. Is there any automatic form creation scripts out there that can automatically create a series of browsable forms for me, based on the fields in the individual tables?

I know it's a lazy way about going about it but I'd rather get some idea as to how it'll look like before doing anything drastic.

I can't use anything that needs root access - as I don't have it and am not likely to get it. All I've got is access to my own little DB...

Just something that'll look at my single DB - given the various connection parameters and write up some forms.

Ring any bells?
Thanks for taking the time to read read this.

are you looking for a table/database dumper ?

Well, the idea is that I've written the sql to create the DBs, created them online and they're hosted, I just need to get forms online that show what's in as well as forms to edit the various tables in the DB.
I don't really know whether or not that's what a
" table/database dumper " is......
is it?

a "Table Dumper" is basically something that allows you to "see" each table, something similar to mysqldump
but in a HTML format.

a database dump is basically a file that when executed by MYSQL can rebuild your database config from scratch.

Any ideas about automatically creating forms?
The structure and froms themselves will only need to be created once.
