although the name 'dadabik' is a little strange, you might 
go to their site for some ideas

http://www.dadabik.org/

according to a blurb on the site:
  DaDaBIK is a free PHP application that allows you to 
easily create a highly customizable Web form interface for a 
MySQL database in order to search, insert, update and delete 
records; all you need do is specify a few configuration 
parameters.

hope that helps,
John

> Apache mod_php Module File Descriptor Leakage Vulnerability
> http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9302

This is unbelievable.  Don't trust "bug" reports from people with email =
addresses like linux4ever at yahoo.com.  From the fork() man page:

The child process has its own copy of the parent's descriptors.
These descriptors reference the same underlying objects, so
that, for instance, file pointers in file objects are shared
between the child and the parent, so that an lseek(2) on a
descriptor in the child process can affect a subsequent read(2)
or write(2) by the parent.  This descriptor copying is also
used by the shell to establish standard input and output for
newly created processes as well as to set up pipes.
