Hello all, I have been using a persistence PHP tool of my own for almost one year now. It is clearly inspired by the Java Hibernate project, and works on top of MDB2 (or ADOdb). I hesitate to propose it to you, PEAR community, given the number of DB existing packages... But I have not found something similar in PHP until now, so if you are enthousiast and think it deserves further development and promotion, let me know. If you think I can throw it away, let me know too. :) Every advice/help would be welcome. Summary page, with examples of code: http://www.baptisteautin.com/projects/dorm/

especially since DORM is PHP5 only, I think you are better off trying out Doctrine [1] and improve it if there are things you are missing. but from the documentation it seems like Doctrine can do all of the things that Dorm can. Most notably it also has an implementation of an HQL like syntax. Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org [1] http://phpdoctrine.org
