In maintenance only mode

Idiorm and Paris are now considered to be feature complete as of version 1.5.0. Whilst they will continue to be maintained with bug fixes there will be no further new features added from this point on. This means that if a pull request makes breaking changes to the API or requires anything other than a patch version bump of the library then it will not be merged.

Please do not submit feature requests or API breaking changes as they will be closed without ceremony.

Should I use Idiorm/Paris?

If you’re starting a new project

It is not recommended that you use either Idiorm or Paris in new projects.

I recommend that you use the Eloquent database library from Laravel as Taylor based it on Idiorm when he wrote it.
This means that many of the same ideas are present there, but it is more actively maintained and has a more modern code style.

If you have existing projects based on Idiorm or Paris

You can continue to use both projects as they will continue to receive security patches and bug fixes.
It is important to note that future versions of PHP may not be supported if changes they require would break backwards compatibility.

At this point you can either use another database library such as Eloquent from Laravel (see If you’re starting a new project above) or you could decide to fork Idiorm and/or Paris to patch them with your own modifications.

But, why?

For further information on the state of this project please see https://github.com/j4mie/idiorm/issues/360

A lightweight nearly-zero-configuration object-relational mapper and fluent query builder for PHP5 and above.

Tested on PHP 5.2.0+ - may work on earlier versions with PDO and the correct database drivers.

Released under a BSD license.

See Also: Paris, an Active Record implementation built on top of Idiorm.

Features

  • Makes simple queries and simple CRUD operations completely painless.
  • Gets out of the way when more complex SQL is required.
  • Built on top of PDO.
  • Uses prepared statements throughout to protect against SQL injection attacks.
  • Requires no model classes, no XML configuration and no code generation: works out of the box, given only a connection string.
  • Consists of one main class called ORM. Additional classes are prefixed with Idiorm. Minimal global namespace pollution.
  • Database agnostic. Currently supports SQLite, MySQL, Firebird and PostgreSQL. May support others, please give it a try!
  • Supports collections of models with method chaining to filter or apply actions to multiple results at once.
  • Multiple connections supported
  • PSR-1 compliant methods (any method can be called in camelCase instead of underscores eg. find_many() becomes findMany()) - you’ll need PHP 5.3+

Documentation

The documentation is hosted on Read the Docs: idiorm.rtfd.org

Building the Docs

You will need to install Sphinx and then in the docs folder run:

make html

The documentation will now be in docs/_build/html/index.html

Let’s See Some Code

$user = ORM::for_table('user')
    ->where_equal('username', 'j4mie')
    ->find_one();

$user->first_name = 'Jamie';
$user->save();

$tweets = ORM::for_table('tweet')
    ->select('tweet.*')
    ->join('user', array(
        'user.id', '=', 'tweet.user_id'
    ))
    ->where_equal('user.username', 'j4mie')
    ->find_many();

foreach ($tweets as $tweet) {
    echo $tweet->text;
}

Tests

Tests are written with PHPUnit and be run through composer

composer test

To make testing on PHP 5.2 (Idiorm maintains support back to this version of PHP) there
is a Docker setup in ./test/docker_for_php52 - check the readme in there for more.
