TORM
====

[](#torm)

⚠️ **WARNING** This software is [abandonware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware). As the creator and maintainer, I don't even use PHP *for years*, so, I can't support it anymore. It should work ok for PHP untill version 7, but seems that with 8.1 there are some alerts. Feel free to fork it and keep it going.Just another simple ORM for PHP. You can use it, but don't ask why I made it. Right? :-)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Take a look on the [Github Wiki](https://github.com/taq/torm/wiki) for documentation, but let me show the basics here:

```

```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

### SQLite

[](#sqlite)

First, use `composer update` to make sure everything is ok with all the packages. Then, go to the `test` directory and run `run`. It will requires the [SQLite driver](http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlite.php) so make sure it is available. If not, check the `php.ini` dir found with

```
$ php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep 'php.ini'
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/7.1/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.1/cli/php.ini
```

and, if not found there or on the `conf.d` on the same location the `php.ini`file is, it can be installed, on Ubuntu, using:

```
$ sudo apt install php-sqlite3
```

### Multibyte strings, locale and YAML

[](#multibyte-strings-locale-and-yaml)

```
$ sudo apt install php-mbstring php-intl php-yaml

```
