Thanks for the detailed reply. You might think about posting that to
your blog since I have seen very little discussion about VO's in PHP
and whether to use them or not. i think you have valuable insight..
(I've seen people send SQL over the
wire, unencrypted, and unsecured)
Sadly, in my first remoting app, I did this!!
About ORM, the next version of amfphp will support Zend DB, so I'd
recommend trying out Zend_Db_Table, I looked at the docs yesterday and
it's pretty sweet. Doesn't handle associations or anything but it's
still cool. There's also Propel/Creole.
i like the simplcity of Zend_Db_Table. thanks for suggesting that.
I like how easy it is to access to database. However, my only worry
about using classes like this are that sometimes make it too easy to
modify the data. I sometimes like to use separate mysql users (& php
clases) for my delete, insert, & select queries. i am not sure that
this is possible in something like this. (And I don't really know if
it makes anything more secure.)
Propel/Creole seems good, but after looking at it closely for our
uses a while back, we decided that it involved too many abstraction
layers to deal with. Ultimately (for our project) we could probably
do the whole thing much simpler coding the classes ourselves and
writing our own SQL...
Thanks again,
