Is there any PHP application that can automatically generate add/edit forms and listing pages by just reading the database. Like PhpMyAdmin but highly customizable through code or configuration files.
The main reason is to avoid time spent on development of back-end of web applications.
Try a framework, like CakePHP or Symfony. Almost all frameworks offer scaffolding for the backend part of the app. Here's the Cake way, and here's the Symfony way.
Symfony (using Propel or Doctrine) may have just what you're looking for: define the tables and their relationships, and it will generate the models for them, from which it can again generate admin listing/add/edit forms.
Try XataFace
I used it for my websites and it works ok (at least until you want too much from customization)
Try Symphony for code or Modubiz for just configuration.
Forms and pages? Surely this is front-end, not back-end?
You might want to have a look at phpeanuts, phpformgen, phplens, dhtmlxgrid (NB there are other free ajax data grids - but I've not played with them much)

I need to code a small admib panel that should get and display statistics from remote servers. The main problem here is that I need to do that ASAP. So the main question here is: to use CMS or not? I'm almost sure that deploying something big like Joomla or Drupal will not be quick. Still, maybe there's something easier that matces the following conditions.
has implemented security stuff (secure login, sessions and etc);
has implemented user/groups/privileges mechanism;
has an abbility of adding users for Super Administrator.
UPD. framework instead of CMS will do as well.
Are you familiar with codeIgniter ? If yes then it is what you want.
Bonfire
It is a CMS with full time functionality of user/groups/privileges mechanism and many more.

Is there any library that, given a sqlite/mysql/postgres database generates an admin panel to manage data à la Django? I know that some frameworks do this, but I need something indipendent from any other part of the application that relies solely on a given database to work.
I need something end-user oriented, so any sql-based tool (like phpMyAdmin) would not work. Thanks
Thanks.
Here are a couple of suggestions for use with mysql:
http://www.ajaxcrud.com creates an ajax crud interface. The main page provides a good example with code, and there are more advanced examples on the site as well.
There is also http://www.phpscaffold.com/ which you can use to create some skeleton pages if you prefer to have more control.
I have used both of these previously in projects and they work well.
You can check PHP Admin Panel.
It's not free but it's not expensive for what you can do.
How about Adminer Editor? It's pretty cool.

I am designing a full featured website that includes a blog on the homepage. I want it to be full featured, but I dont want to spend forever coding it. Is there any good blogging system that can be easily integrated with CodeIgniter?
Honestly I would separate CodeIgniter from the blog code. If you look at many websites that have a blog these days, they will often have the main application at www.example.com and then host their blog at blog.example.com, where they will have an installation of Wordpress (which I recommend, since you already have a php/mysql stack) or something similar. You can still make this work if you'd prefer to have it at example.com/blog but depending on your site you may have to do some modification of things like your .htaccess file, as well as your blog system theme if you want it to look like the rest of your site.
Expression Engine 2.0 is built on CodeIgniter, and made by the same company Ellis Labs. It's pretty decent, and will be very familiar to you if you're already familiar with CI.
If you plan on making a public blogging platform, you can not use Expression Engine due to licensing violation. see: http://expressionengine.com/sales_faq/article/myspace_blogservice/
For a free alternative, try http://pyrocms.com/ . I have been thinking about implementing myself as I wish to implement a blog on my current site.

i wonder if there are tutorials/books explaining how you create a library/plugin/module for other to implement?
libraries/frameworks like solr, doctrine, codeigniter etc.
cause it seems that they follow the same pattern. having one "bootstrap" file to load configurations, other classes and so on.
i aim to understand the basics, so i can create a such library.
cause at the moment i want to code an address book that other can use. just include a bootstrap file and they are ready to use my classes (like Doctrine).
recommendations of sources to learn these things of stuff?
you experienced guys, how did you learn it?
thanks.
It depends - if you're not creating anything visual (resp. anything missing presenters/controllers), it shouldn't be problematic. Just put it into libs/components etc. directories.
If you're creating for example universal administration where presenters/controllers are present, which is placed in proper module folder (every framework has this feature): I wouldn't worry about shipping it so. But you may consider packing it such as whole project.

I have a MySQL database full of members of an organization with their passwords and other accompanying data. Is there a good PHP framework for a log-in system? I'd like something like what they do on yahoo, where you can browse the pages without logging in but you need to log in to access certain content.
Using a PHP framework is an excellent idea, however user authentication systems are not usually bundled with the frameworks themselves.
A PHP framework (like Symfony or CodeIgniter) can offer you some great features like: templating and layouts, automated validation, escaping of data to protect applications from attacks, cache management, smart URLs, e-mail and APIs, automated pagination, sorting, and filtering, plug-ins, ORM for databases, Internationalization etc etc.
Authentiaction is often seen as an extra and so is available as a plugin:
Symfony uses an optional system called sfGuard and is in the form of a plugin
CodeIgniter has several options for authentication detailed here. FreakAuth, Redux seem to be the market leaders here.
