title: PHP Framework for form-intensive application
body: <p>I'm looking for a simple-to-learn php framework for an application that is being migrated from Access to PHP. The application has lots of forms (sometimes 50+ fields per page), and lots of the fields are inter-dependent (ie, you change one field, it updates some other fields or options).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any good php framework for this? I would prefer it really simple since:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The devs are not so experienced</li>
  <li>The DB is being migrated from Access and was not designed with OOP in mind, it's basically a collection of tables divided by functionality, so I probably don't need any ORM (at least for now).</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The most important thing is really the ease of form design and fields correlation (ex: two list boxes where the values of the second depends of the selected value of the first) - I know most ajax libs have some support for this but I would like it out of the box.</p>

  <p>edit: As a clarification, the most important is not the ajax nifty stuff, although it is important. The important is a <strong>straightforward</strong> way to create db-based forms. The db is not designed with an ORM in mind, so I don't need fancy table associations on the ORM layer whith cascade deletes etc. If an ORM layer doesn't get in the way and simplifies the implementation so that's ok but i doubt this will ever be true.</p>
