PHP 5.3 full-blown ActiveRecord

Launchpad doesn't seem to be the most developerfriendly code hosting site, it offers no download package so to get the code you need a bazaar client.

It might not be as quick to use as github, but they do have some features that github does not. I'm not sure github offers a "download package" either since both of them are distributed versioning systems. We will have a website up at http://www.phpactiverecord.org/ shortly where you can easily download the source.

I guess there are good reasons to choose launchpad but i know from the time i checked out ubuntu 8xx programs have several download options, deb and tar, but when i browsed launchpad i didn't see any of the other php projects using a download package. So it's either something that is not possible to do in launchpad for php projects or it's something launchpad using php developers don't need.

I'm just thinking in terms of getting your code out to as many people as possible. I don't think people are going to install a bazaar client/IDE plugin just to play with the code.

I think you raise a good point. In fact, we have switched to github because of your point and that we could not use the repo last night as it was timing out every other attempt. We've put the code here: http://github.com/kla/php-activerecord - Thanks for your comments.

Doctrine is probably the most complete and sophisticated (and therefore long-time to learn and has performance penalty) ORM system for PHP

------------
Doctrine is an object relational mapper (ORM) for PHP 5.2.3+ that sits on top of a powerful database abstraction layer (DBAL). One of its key features is the option to write database queries in a proprietary object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL), inspired by Hibernates HQL. This provides developers with a powerful alternative to SQL that maintains flexibility without requiring unnecessary code duplication.
------------

Since all of my tables sofar have one primary key and they reside in different database instances (I use database sharding extensively)
most of the ORMs do not work for me, so I have my own primitive one to just generate 'strings' representing SQL statements for PDO
functions.
