Yes, yet another ORM for PHP. This meets my needs for an ORM with the following characteristics:

- Works well with legacy databases.
- Provides (requires) a Model class which helps coding in IDEs.
- Creates and modifies the underlying database schema as required to match the Model.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Provides a tool 'anorm' for quickly generating models from existing tables.
- Maps between camelCase property names and under\_score field names common in database schema.
- Makes CRUD operations extremely simple.
- Doesn't get in the way of complex queries.
- Optional lifecycle hook for change detection — see [docs/\_docs/lifecycle.md](docs/_docs/lifecycle.md).
