Zend_Form gives you all the tools necessary to create forms and form elements via PHP code. Like everything in Zend Framework, almost everything is configurable; however the defaults are probably good for most uses.

They include some sample code that shows the creation of both a simple, sample form and something a little bit more advanced - including validation methods and making fields required.
