Torpor (PHP)
Torpor is free, open source (under the MIT License) Object-relational mapping framework for PHP 5.1 and above.
It is written entirely in PHP with limited reliance on standard XML extensions (and selected databases) and is
independent of (and aims to be compatible with) any other PHP frameworks.
History
PHP was started as an independent project in July 2009 and reached its first major release (1.0) on October 31 2009.
It was originally created to automate the tedium of Object Oriented PHP CRUD operations, specifically the
management of related object factories, collections, and useful patterns such as object state maintenance for
just-in-time fetch and publish.
Concepts
Torpor uses an XML configuration file to control its features and options as well as describe the layout and
relationships of the underlying repository. A generic "Grid" object type is used to represent any table (using database
terminology) record instance, dynamically adapted to the contained Columns and relationship to other Grid types.
This differs from many other PHP ORM implementations in that it does not generate any code, though it can be
configured to represent different Grid types as dynamically-constructed classes (or as user-defined classes extending
the base Grid class). This allows for central control and maintenance of all operations and adaptation to repository
design changes.
Using a plug-in architecture for the management of DataStore and intermediate read- and write- through Cache
allows for easy extension to support additional repository types in ways best suited to each.
