For a fun project, I thought I look how #leafphp is doing things. It was intriguing at first, but the docs weren't complete and I got stuck and lost interest. Today I picked up where I left, saw that leafphp 4.x is out, and I completely failed to get that thing updated and running. Partially it's my fault, my dev environment is still stuck at PHP 8.0. But the docs are still not clear on how to do certain things.
I gave up and moved back to the familiar and much more resilient #fatfreeframework.

Could anyone suggest an #ORM for #PHP 7.2 & MariaDB 10 (Rocky Linux 8, Apache 2.4)? So far I have only used raw SQL in PHP.

I found #Doctrine <https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects.html>, #Propel <https://github.com/propelorm/Propel2/releases>, & #FatFreeFramework <https://github.com/bcosca/fatfree> "F3". I have zero familiarity with all of those.

I noticed that Doctrine 3 documentation mentions 7.4 & latest stable versions of PHP, ALONG WITH "7.1+" <https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/3.1/tutorials/getting-started.html#guide-assumptions>. What would I be missing with PHP 7.2?

Projects - Doctrine: PHP Open Source Project

The Doctrine Project is an open-source PHP project that is home to home to several PHP libraries primarily focused on database storage and object mapping. The core projects are the Object Relational Mapper (ORM) and the Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) it is built upon.

Been playing around with #PHP #FatFreeFramework and it’s a lovely functional experience, less OOP, similar to #flask or #GinGonic
