On: DumbledORM a novelty PHP ORM in < 200 lines

[nreece]

Looks alright. I'll try it out sometime.

I've been using Idiorm - http://github.com/j4mie/idiorm (used it on Weekis - http://weekis.com). It works really well for small-medium scale apps.

I can't be bothered with the bloat of some of the PHP Frameworks out there.

Thanks for the Idiorm mention :)

I like the look of DumbledORM, although it takes a bit of a different approach to Idiorm (and its "child" project, Paris - http://github.com/j4mie/paris - which is an Active Record implementation with support for associations built on top of Idiorm in ~130 lines of code). I'm not really a fan of code generation at the best of times, and for a tiny ORM it seems a bit out of place.

I do like the idea of being able to save multiple rows, jQuery-style. I might just steal that..

Thanks, I've been looking for a Kohana-esque ORM that comes without the Kohana for smaller projects... paris looks like it fits the bill perfectly. Uses very similar configuration per-class: belongs_to, has_many, has_many_through. Awesome!

Wow, paris look really nice.

I'll second Idiorm, we use it on http://rothira.com/ for all the simple stuff like saving leads. It's perfectly lightweight for something like that.
