PHP Web forms

[tc61380]

Hi,

Is there any way to do web forms like the way you do in .NET?

ie:
Visual editing like with Visual Studio, dragging and dropping HTML form objects
Able to update form objects with error/successful message or bind validators to each object

There are some event driven frameworks for PHP. Prado comes to mind.

ASP.NET's webforms work by writing a lot of event attributes into the HTML form fields it generates, adding big wodges of JavaScript, and wrapping the whole page in a <form>.

As Shrike says, there are a number of such frameworks written for PHP; but the whole mechanism strikes me personally as a bit brutalistic (in the architectural sense).
