I maintain a website for an organization and want to put some database-driven
features on it. For example, displaying a list of members taken from a MySQL
database. I have enough experience with PHP (my only server-side option) and
basic SQL queries in order to do this fairly easily.

The problem is that I'd like to make it possible for other, non-technical
members to maintain some of the database entries (such as the members list). If
it is just me, I can use myPHPAdmin that my web hosting service supplies to do
what's necessary, but obviously I don't want to turn just anyone loose on that!

Writing the PHP code to allow viewing, editing, adding, and deleting of
records seems like it could be really tedious and take a lot of debugging. Does
anyone know of a Sourceforge project or other product that can be used to
essentially "generate" complete pages or just the PHP code to implement basic
database-update features?

By the way, the database will be on my web host's site and is not directly
accessible from the outside. That is, I can't connect to it from my PC when
doing the development work; I can only test by uploading my pages and running
them.
