Doctrine is an ORM (object relational mapper) for PHP that sits on top of a powerful DBAL (database abstraction layer). One of its key features is the ability to optionally write database queries in an OO (object oriented) SQL-dialect called DQL ... [More] inspired by Hibernates HQL. This provides developers with a powerful alternative to SQL that maintains a maximum of flexibility without requiring needless code duplication. [Less]

The Xyster Framework contains several components to improve and simplify your application development experience. It leverages and extends several parts of the Zend Framework providing a massive collection of useful and hardened tools for PHP applications.

When developing PHP applications a great deal of time and effort is wasted writing tedious SQL queries to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) entities. This situation is exacerbated when working with objects because relational database management ... [More] systems, with which most persistent storage is maintained, can only store scalar values organized into tables. The developer is responsible for translating objects into a series of scalar values which can be stored in a RDMBS for storage and for translating these scalar values pulled from the RDBMS into an object for reading. This translation process is often very time consuming when approached in an ad hoc manner. [Less]
