A few weeks ago on the symfony blog, Fabien announced that as of symfony 1.1, Doctrine is officially supported. The documentation will slowly be updated and converted from Propel to Doctrine.

Check out the new Doctrine Cheat Sheet that was released today on the PHP Doctrine website.

I have put together a cheat sheet for all the day to day usage syntaxes of Doctrine. The cheat sheet can be found here. This is the first draft of the document so any comments and feedback would be very useful.

Over at the Doctrine PHP ORM website they have just released a tutorial on how to get started using Doctrine in under 5 minutes!!!

In my last post I talked about the possibility of Doctrine being in the core of Drupal 7. After some thought, and a little bit of work, I realized this is not necessary. Doctrine can be used in Drupal now with a custom module I wrote. It comes with schema files and models for the drupal core database schema so you can begin using Doctrine models immediately for interacting with your Drupal website database.

The Drupal 7 development has started in the last couple of weeks and the Doctrine bug has been planted in the ear of the Drupal development team. Hopefully the power of Doctrine can be recognized and utilized to take Drupal and Doctrine both to the next level. You can find the discussion between myself and "chx" here.

I have been taking a peak around CodeIgniter tonight and I put together a little tutorial on how to integrate Doctrine with your CodeIgniter applications. It was fairly simple and took me about 15 minutes to figure out a nice and clean implementation.

For the last 10 years of doing web development with PHP I have been searching for a proper way to build my domain model and represent it with a relational database and a set of PHP classes. This has not existed until recently I came across a young open source PHP project named Doctrine. I quickly jumped on the wagon and it has been quite an experience so far. Doctrine is an ORM for PHP that sits on top of a powerful DBAL (database abstraction layer).
