What are modern well known, community backed PHP ORMs of today. The main ones I know of are Eloquent, Doctrine, and Propel. Are there any others that warrant mention or should I be sticking with one of those for a new project involding custom development likely to be written on Laravel or Symfony possibly Phalcon.
I’ve heard good things about Idiorm and Paris, although I’ve not had chance to try them out myself yet.
I’m actually really impressed by Eloquent. If it works the way the docs say it works without much trouble I think I’m sold. I even found a nested set extension for it which is actually what I would need for certain parts of my database. Not to mention there is something that draws me to an Active Record over mapper. I think it’s just way cooler. Little disappointed a rake doesn’t exist or at least I can’t find one for Eloquent.
What’s a rake in this context?
The term “rake” originated in rails and is a program that crawls an existing databases generating model files.
