Seem nice. I already have some CRUD functions but they don’t map to objects. I also have a class that traverses database tables. I guess there’s some overhead involved.
By the way, TomB, I recognise your photo. I’m sure I’ve read a blog post about PHP/MVC written by you in the past. 
That’s something else I’m trying to implement, though MVP, not MVC.
P.S. Other than mapping to objects and searching/finding records, does ORM typically do anything else?
