MADAL is a MySQL Ajax Database Access Layer that uses PHP, jQuery, and jQuery ui to allow
one to quickly generate ajax enabled database driven web-pages.
MADAL generates PHP and Javascript/jQuery source code that is well documented, so you can use your IDE's auto-completion against database tables and fields. The documentation was designed with PHP Eclipse in mind, but should work for any IDE that recognizes PHP doc.
