README

Yes, yet another ORM for PHP. This meets my needs for an ORM with the following characteristics:

• Works well with legacy databases.
• Provides (requires) a Model class which helps coding in IDEs.
• Creates and modifies the underlying database schema as required to match the Model.

Features

• Provides a tool 'anorm' for quickly generating models from existing tables.
• Maps between camelCase property names and under_score field names common in database schema.
• Makes CRUD operations extremely simple.
• Doesn't get in the way of complex queries.
• Optional lifecycle hook for change detection — see docs/_docs/lifecycle.md.

Documentation

Documentation is available on the docs site.
