Looking for ORM - Has anybody tried ezpdo?
I was looking at ezpdo because I need something to use for orm while I build a system, and I noticed that they use docblock comments as commands within the application... that is very strange, and it seems very wrong to me. Has anybody used it? Has anybody heard of using docblock comments for commands/configuration?

I've heard things about Propel, but I'm not sure if they're good or bad; never tried it myself, though I was planning to use it for my next DB project.

Well I've been "setting up" Propel for about 45 minutes now. I'm still not done setting it up
which is a bad sign already. Also, what is the deal with them naming classes things like "BaseObject"? There is a really good chance that will already be defined somewhere. That's really annoying. I really wish everybody would just stick with pear naming. What is wrong with Propel_BaseObject? Bastards.
EDIT:
I am done with Propel... nothing should be this difficult to get working. This is ridiculous! I've now wasted 2 more hours this morning on something I'll never use because it is overly complicated.

What about the data handlers in Solar?
Yea actually I found that here:

I downloaded it but never touched it. I'll have to play around w/it for a bit...

EDIT: This is what threw me off earlier:
Coming Soon:
* Support for objects spanning more than one table.
* Support for dependencies (such as User -> Email).
* The ability to fall back to the DAO layer.
* Transaction support.

At the 2007 PHPLondon Conference there was a very nice presentation on the work done on SCA by Simon Laws from IBM.

There he caused a lot of questions from the audience because the config for connections was kept in docblock comments.
Re: PHPJunction... I agree with you about the coming soon aspect, but live in hope.
I didnt spend too long on their site and google group and haven't downloaded the code, but am all the same wondering exactly what is their Unique Selling Position ( USP ) is it that its PHP5 only?
If they are waiting till end of year, why not wait till 5.3 and namespaces?
