I decided to pull an old project out of the cupboard. It was something I was concepting a while ago but got distracted by other things (aplis). Its a class, no its actually a mini apli consisting of a builder GUI and a class.
The idea is to automate form creation, checking, processing and data loading. The builder gui will allow the user to create a form using simple blocks and drag and drop for ordering, selecting different types of input from simple text-fields to extensive sub-items and calendars and when completed the builder will create the database tables required to store the data. These are created with specific naming and comment standards that in turn allow the class to recognise each column as a specific input type thus allowing the class to create a full form with all the inputs from the table. It will then also check fields for valid input and required input, and store the data in the table. The class will also have an option to load overviews, edit/delete options. Oh and i also plan to let the builder modify existing table structures. 
That's it in a nut shell really 
need to work out my project plan and make some prototypes of some of the functions, keep an eye on my Sandbox
