Hey guys, long time LAMP developer first time poster. Im looking into Object Relational Mappers for PHP 5/MySQL 5 and I see quite a few but I'm wondering which to go with. Please respond if you've actually used one of them or know someone who has. I'm really interested in hearing your input. I'm looking for one that is simple and widely used- those are my criteria. I dont need one that has a thousand features I will never use or one that very few people have actually heard of. Thanks everyone!
