Good PHP ORM Library?
Look into Doctrine.
Doctrine 1.2 implements Active Record. Doctrine 2+ is a DataMapper ORM.
Also, check out Xyster. It's based on the Data Mapper pattern.
Also, take a look at DataMapper vs. Active Record.
Try RedBean, its requires:
- No configuration
- No database (it creates everything on the fly)
- No models
- etc.
It even does all the locking and transactions for you and monitors performance in the background. (Heck! it even does garbage collection....) Best of all... you don't have to write a single... line of code... Jesus this, ORM layer, saved me ass!
