That's not true with everyone.[/quote]

Yeah, for some people, one advantage of CI is its not just PHP5 lol

[eluser]adwin[/eluser]
how about active record in kohana ?
do you think it has advantage than ci ?

CI AR is just like "dummy" for me ... (i used to play with Grails - Hibernate)
I wish there are ORM that can be plugged in easily ...
(i haven't install doctrine successfully )

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
@adwin, have you tried any of the 3rd party CI librraies for ORM?

Using an ORM is better(faster) when developing.

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
The 3 main ones are
Data Mapper
Ignited Record
DataMapper OverZealous Edition

my 2 cents on this thread.

I've never looked at Kohana, but IMO php4 support is holding CodeIgniter back, but the CI Documentation is superb, I've never really known anything like it.
If you want an ORM to use with CodeIgniter I recommend Doctrine, the learning curve is so steep it's almost a spiral, but it's worth persevering with. Don't be fooled by CI's 'Active' Record class, it's not active at all, it's just a query builder. It's a very useful query builder, but the name 'Active Record Class' can be misleading.

Dam1an ... which one has features like :
I don't need to create a sql table (create table ....)
everything will be handle by the ORM (even when i add new field it will be added once i compile)

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
I can't really recommend any, as I just use good ol' AR lol

It's just my kidding content (in case someone serious about it)
