Dedicated PHP DataMapper Website LIVE!
November 5th, 2008 by phpdmThis project is really starting to gain some traction, and I felt like it was time to move it to it’s own website on it’s own domain. This new website should allow this project to grow more, and will hopefully provide a place to facilitate discussion and grow the documentation to a respectable level as this project progresses.
If you would like to help out with the project, please get in touch with me – there’s a lot that remains to be done, and plenty of opportunities to help. More coming soon!
Did you know that this has already been done?

While the projects are similar, that link points to a data mapper for CodeIgniter, not a generic portable data mapper that can be used in any project. That data mapper project has tight coupling and dependencies to the CodeIgniter framework, which is exactly what phpDataMapper intentionally avoids. With phpDataMapper, there are no dependencies outside the default PHP5.2+ installation, and no special rules or naming requirements like with the CodeIgniter data mapper.
Check out the phpDataMapper Project Goals page for more of the reasons why this project needs to exist and the reasons behind the motivation for creating it.
Hello there, this is an awesome project. I searched for an easy to use data mapper in php and found this one. I allready used your datamapper in one of my projects. It’s fun to work with it so far.
Would be nice though if you would concentrate on the documentation part of your project.
Please keep on working on this one.
Best wishes
Michael
Very nice, I have been looking for an ORM for PHP that doesn’t force the model to know about the mapper.
I love how simple it is to use your project too!
Awesome job,
Osvaldo
What an amazing project. For me it is so simple to use, especially after few sleepless nights with doctrine-orm (it is too bloated lib).
Great job. Keep this project alive.
