Hi! I'm an interested student with a project idea for the PHP.net Google Summer of Code.
I'm thinking about a native ( compiled from C ) ORM extension for PHP. I don't need to explain how useful and important it is in modern web applications / frameworks. My goal is a native php extension that - is efficient / high performance (thanks to good application design and native code) - has a really good API (thanks to PHP5's extensible object modell) - works with all major DBMSs (by using PDO) - is flexible, so with thin wrapper classes it could be a drop-in replacement for any framework's ORM module. The concept is object persistence (somewhat similar to Hibernate for Java). I think object persistence is the most simple, clean and usable ORM concept, however it is the hardest to implement especially in pure PHP code (no access to PHP5's internal object modell). So what do you think? Is it a good project for SoC? About me: I'm 19 year old, a student at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics on the IT department ... and as you have already discovered, not a native English speaker.
