Hi all... Would anyone be kind enough to provide me some pointers about object relationship mapping [libraries] in PHP?
All I know is there are some DB APIs available: PEAR DB, MDB, ADOdb, Creole... I currently use MDB for its excellent DB schema management capabilities. And I use ORM manually, this provides the most flexbility but from time to time it gets rather annoying, so I'm now seeking alternatives (if possible, still using MDB, but a switch to other API is okay though...) Each API seem to have its own relational-to-OO mapping in form of data objects... like PEAR DB DataObject, which I would say is an almost-ORM implementation. Creole's Propel seems to be a bit more advanced than the others. What I wanted is more like Java's Hibernate. So it's not just a wrapper for get() but it actually creates proper OO classes in PHP based on some meta-information. I don't mind code generation if its flexible enough and it's directly usable for all circumstances without handly modifying them (since they'll get regenerated from time to time). I also found phpSorm and phpersistence, though these projects seem to be not maintained now. Any insight would be greatly appreciated... :-) -- Hendy Irawan - http://dev.gauldong.net - GaulDong Developer Center -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
