Question

I really liked LINQ to Entities as well as the Entity Framework on my last project, I found it very easy to use and powerful, not to mention time-saving…

Now I have to work with PHP, is there something similar?

Features I am looking for are:

• automatic class creation from DB Model
• manipulate PHP objects in an SQL like fashion
• translation of PHP code into SQL queries

Any insight is appreciated.

There are quite a few ORM solutions for PHP, most famous is probably Doctrine

I think you might find more info on this question: Good PHP ORM Library?

Also most php (MVC) frameworks come with some form of ORM bundled in.
