Actually it's quite easy. I've got a similar object to the one you guys
described (can't really share it - I'm on salary so technically it
belongs to my boss.) Anyhow when I do my table layout, if there's a
look-up, I name the field "lookuptable_id" in the DB. In my object, it
looks for any field ending in "_id" (or whatever you specify to the
object - "_id" is just the default) and it creates a drop-down of the
options.
The object also takes an array of ignore_fields, hidden_fields (good for
ID's on updates), friendlynames (you don't always want to use the
fieldname in the database, but anyhow the object replaces underscores
and capitalises), and a bunch of other customising array properties with
useful defaults. It also detects whether this is an insert or update and
knows how to route the action, and has support for file uploads (and
customises the enctype of the form for that).
So basically you can have a very nice form, customised, with one or two
lines of code to draw the form, as long as you design your object and DB
well.

You can use this class to parse the messages and extract the addresses
from bouncing messages.

I have looked at this many times I just can't figure out how to use it.
All I what to do is grab the mail out of the mailbox and see way it bounced
then add that info to my program for the email user that sent it.

I think the safest way is to setup a POP3 mailbox to receive the
bouncing messages and then use POP3 client class like this to fetch and
process the bounced messages one by one.
http://www.phpclasses.org/pop3class
The MIME parser class can parse messages passed as strings or from
files. The POP3 class provides a stream wrapper that allows PHP to treat
messages in a POP3 mailbox as if they were real files. This way you can
connect the POP3 class directly to the MIME parser class.
Take a look at the parse_message.php script for an example of this.
The MIME parse class has a Decode function to parse the message, and the
Analyze function to tell which kind of message is what you have passed
and eventual parameters related to that type of message.
In the case of the bounces returned as message/delivery-status, the MIME
parse returns the boucing addresses and associated bouncing reasons.
Take a look at the test_message_decoder.php example script to see it in
action.
