Good PHP ORM Library?

Is there a good object-relational-mapping library for PHP?

I know of PDO/ADO, but they seem to only provide abstraction of differences between database vendors not an actual mapping between the domain model and the relational model. I’m looking for a PHP library that functions similarly to the way Hibernate does for Java and NHibernate does for .NET.

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!

    I'm not a PHP guy, but I have to admit that looks pretty slick.

    I really don't want to be a downer, but this goes against everything I know -- that database tables should be designed with care (for performance) and that ALTER TABLE calls are expensive (and potentially dangerous).

    @NickC Once you are finished developing the database can be 'frozen' to stop any more changes.

There are only two good ones: Doctrine and Propel. We favor Doctrine, and it works well with Symfony. However if you’re looking for database support besides the main ones you’ll have to write your own code.

Another great open source PHP ORM that we use is PHPSmartDb. It is stable and makes your code more secure and clean. The database functionality within it is hands down the easiest I have ever used with PHP 5.3.

Look at http://code.google.com/p/lworm/ . It is a really simple, but powerful, lightweight ORM system for PHP. You can also easily extend it, if you want.

PHP ORM Faces For PDO extension. See PHP Faces Framework.

$urun = new Product();
$urun->name='CPU'
$urun->prince='124';
$urun->save();

Doctrine is probably your best bet. Prior to Doctrine, DB_DataObject was essentially the only other utility that was open sourced.

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.

Axon ORM is part of the Fat-Free Framework – it features an on-the-fly mapper. No code generators. No stupid XML/YAML configuration files. It reads the database schema directly from the backend, so in most CRUD operations you don’t even have to extend a base model. It works with all major PDO-supported database engines: MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server/Sybase, Oracle, PostgreSQL, etc.

/* SQL */
CREATE TABLE products (
    product_id INTEGER,
    description VARCHAR(128),
    PRIMARY KEY (product_id)
);

/* PHP */
// Create
$product=new Axon('products'); // Automatically reads the above schema
$product->product_id=123;
$product->description='Sofa bed';
$product->save(); // ORM knows it's a new record

// Retrieve
$product->load('product_id=123');
echo $product->description;

// Update
$product->description='A better sofa bed';
$product->save(); // ORM knows it's an existing record

// Delete
$product->erase();

Most of all, the plug-in and accompanying SQL data access layer are just as lightweight as the framework: 14 KB (Axon) + 6 KB (SQLdb). Fat-Free is just 55 KB.
