Professionally I’m using the “DeZign” data modelling tool (from Datanamic) which could provide the necessary generation meta-data. Or, what you already mentioned, use the zend db table classes.

I’ll check out your code when I’ve got some spare time.

p.s. Lots to do in so little time :)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I just wanted to see where you are going with code generation. As I see It is a project in the making.

I am currently using Zend Framework for several projects but am trying to write a code generator to translate the data layer into a working representation in php (once and for all). I base it on examples seen in the reference guide at http://framework.zend.com/ using a DbTable class (TDG) a Mapper (Data mapper) and a Model class.

But I am looking for some examples or other people that have dealt with 1:1, 1:n and n:m relations. Just to get ideas.

What I have written for now generates the three classes, but doesn’t yet deal with the relations between tables. If you want you can check it out. I also have to convert to using Zend_Codegenerator. Basically it is a quick test I wrote, but I have found myself using it over and over.

Here is the Zend Framework Module download: http://www.sreknord.net/download#download3

You need subversion to get it out.
Did not get around to a full release version, a bit of a time issue and I want to refactor the templates to use the Zend_CodeGenerator library.

I’ll also package it when it’s a little more user-friendly to setup and configure.

One question: where is the download. At google code it says: “This project currently has no downloads.”
