You probably want to start by reading this:
http://ledgersmbdev.blogspot.com/2011/10/introduction-to-soda.html
if you code your SQL as stored procedures following the conventions there
(naming your inputs in_varname where varname is the HTTP input parameter
name, then it is extremely easy to map the SQL into the your form filter.
The report logic would then become available to any add-on written in any
other language.
The second thing to note is that we use Template Toolkit. You may have an
easy time converting PHP screens into TT templates.
Finally we have a framework for displaying tabular data called dynatable.
There is a learning curve there, so I would be happy to help with that
part, providing guidance and maybe we can use it as an example for the next
people.
Best Wishes,
