I have now officially moved the dORM project from the private Subversion repository to Github (https://github.com/olalonde/dORM). I hope this move will encourage greater contribution from the community as I no longer have lots of time to devote to dORM. If anyone is interested in getting involved more actively, feel free to get in touch.

I have moved dORM to github.com: https://github.com/olalonde/dORM

I don’t have much time to work on the project lately so feel free to contribute!

Cheers,
Olivier

Hi fellow PHP ninjas.

I haven’t had much time to work on dORM lately, but I will get back to work for the following weeks. There are some major upgrades coming up such as a Query class and other cool stuff like prefetching. I will also make a class that will be able to automatically generate a database from your domain classes.

If you have any feature requests or comment, you’re invited to join the discussion below. Just let me know what would really make dORM stand out !

Cheers,
Olivier Lalonde

dORM is a PHP object relational mapper which I have written with the goal of completely abstracting SQL, while keeping the power and flexibility of relational databases.

It implements multiple software design patterns such as Unit of Work, Identity Map, Lazy Load, Foreign Key Mapping, Association Table Mapping, Metadata Mapping and Data Mapper. Special thanks to Martin Fowler’s Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture which greatly inspired me.

I am looking forward to get feature requests and some feedback from the PHP community. Hope you enjoy this piece of code and that it will help you focus on business logic.

I am currently working on a screencast that will showcase a simple application written with dORM. I’ll post an article here as soon as it is available.
