Are you looking for a script based generator or IDE based one? Please clarify.

Same goes for the libraries.

An IDE is an Integrated Development Environment. Basically this is like a Visual Studio, Zend Studio, CodeCharge type of applicaiton. It ia text editor with code completion, syntax highlighting, project management, class viewer, file browser, etc. It may also have a server attached to it or be able to use your server to execute your scripts. I know Zend Studio also has a DB browser for you to interact with your database server as well.

IDE's are not usually script/code generators so much as they are development platforms for you to use to generate your own code. They assist, but don't do it for you.

A script type code generator is one where you tell the script what you want and it spits out code for you. That is the difference between the things I asked about.

Something that generates code for you (a code generation script), or something in which you create code (IDE)?

An app that generates code for you.

Now we're cooking. I would look at sites like Hotscripts or other code/app repositories.
