README

NotORM is a PHP library for simple working with data in the database. The most interesting feature is a very easy work with table relationships. The overall performance is also very important and NotORM can actually run faster than a native driver.

$db = new NotORM\NotORM($pdo);

foreach ($db->application()->order("title") as $application) { // get all applications ordered by title
    echo "$application[title]\n"; // print application title
    echo $application->author["name"] . "\n"; // print name of the application author
    foreach ($application->application_tag() as $application_tag) { // get all tags of $application
        echo $application_tag->tag["name"] . "\n"; // print the tag name
    }
}
