[nycphp-talk] Automatically Generating Code from the Database

I just had an interesting conversation with my boss, who hasn't coded 
anything since COBOL. Anyway, he was saying that he is amazed that no 
one has written a tool for PHP that will generate classes and methods 
based on the tables in the database.

So what he's saying is that I should be able to open an application, 
select a database, click an button, and presto! The result would be 
classes with methods for adding, updating and viewing records for every 
table in my database.

I don't know of any such thing. Dreamweaver can do this to some extent, 
but as procedural scripting.

Perhaps someone here knows of a tool that can do this?
