POMM: The PHP Object Model Manager for Postgresql

This branch is the latest stable branch of Pomm.

What is Pomm ?

Pomm is an open source Postgresql access framework for PHP. It is not an ORM, it is an Object Model Manager. Pomm offers an alternative approach than ORM to using database in object oriented web developments. Read more here.

How to install Pomm ?

The easy way: composer

Using composer installer and autoloader is probably the easiest way to install Pomm and get it running. What you need is just a composer.json file in the root directory of your project:

{
"require": {
    "pomm/pomm": "1.2.*"
  }
}

Invoking composer.phar will automagically download Pomm, install it in a vendor directory and set up the according autoloader.

Using Pomm with a PHP framework

• Silex PommServiceProvider
• Symfony2 PommBundle

With Silex, it is possible to bootstrap a kitchen sink using this gist <https://gist.github.com/chanmix51/3402026>, in an empty directory just issue the command:

wget -O - 'https://gist.github.com/chanmix51/3402026/raw/3cf2125316687be6d3ab076e66f291b68b422ce7/create-pomm-silex.sh' | bash

And follow the instructions.
