Body
To be honest I wouldn't roll my own, considering there are a few mature form packages out there for PHP. I use PEAR's HTML_QuickForm package (<a href="http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform.php" rel="noreferrer">http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform.php</a>) for PHP4 sites. For PHP5, I'd have a look into Zend_Form (<a href="http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.form.html" rel="noreferrer">http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.form.html</a>). For my quickform code, I use a helper class that lets me define forms using a config array. For example: <pre><code>echo QuickFormHelper::renderFromConfig(array( 'name' => 'area_edit', 'elements' => array( 'area_id' => array('type' => 'hidden'), 'active' => array('type' => 'toggle'), 'site_name' => array('type' => 'text'), 'base_url' => array('type' => 'text'), 'email' => array('type' => 'text'), 'email_admin' => array('type' => 'text'), 'email_financial' => array('type' => 'text'), 'cron_enabled' => array('type' => 'toggle'), 'address' => array('type' => 'address'), ), 'groups' => array( 'Basic Details' => array('site_name', 'base_url'), 'Address Details' => array('address'), 'Misc Details' => array(), // SM: Display the rest with this heading. ), 'defaults' => $site, 'callback_on_success' => array( 'object' => $module, 'function' => 'saveSite', ), )); </code></pre> Note that the above element types 'address' and 'toggle' are in fact multiple form fields (basically, meta-types). This is what I love about this helper class - I can define a standard group of fields with their rules (such as address, credit_card, etc) and they can be used on lots of pages in a consistent fashion.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
