I'm not sure if I wrote it to this mail list or not. I have found the easiest way to make a set of symfony model classes is:
A/ Use a GUI ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) editor. B/ Output the SQL for the target database, (AND the PDF or Image of the ERD) C/ Make the database, a symfony project and its directory, and a databases.yml file //in your $PROJECT directory do ... E/ ./symfony doctrine:build-schema F/ ./symfony doctrine:build-model G/ ./symfony doctrine:build-forms H/ ./symfony doctrine:build-filters I/ ./symfony cc J/ ./symfony doctrine:data-load If it's all on the same machine, it's pretty fast. Plus you get the visual clarity of the graphic to refer to while you are figuring out how to make all the controller level / model level code work. I use Dezign for Databases. It has a slightly 1990's feel (due I believe to his continued use of the Borland or MFC libraries), but it's quite usable, very functional. It's written and very well maintained and expanded often by a single guy. He's been in business for ~10 years or more. It is unfortunately, ONLY available on windows. My one or 2 attempts to get it to work on Wine were unsuccessful, but I'm not that patient. Dennis Gearon Signature Warning ---------------- EARTH has a Right To Life, otherwise we all die.
