PHPillow - a PHP CouchDB wrapper - Update

I now talked several times in my blog about CouchDb and gave a talk on the PHP Unconference on this together with Nils. I started to use it quite some time ago and now decided to extract the wrapper I am using, which proved to work quite well.

The wrapper is called PHPillow, lays on top of the Couch and offers even more comfort laying anything into the database. :) It has complete API documentation, currently a test coverage of >95%, tutorials and practical examples included. Even I would call it alpha - as CouchDB is still alpha at the current state - you can expect it stay quite stable API wise, as I rely heavily on it in other projects and therefore won't break too much.

CouchDB, as a document based database, is really fun to use and offers some unique features - especially with the really cool view features it has. The website and wiki are good starting points to learn more about it.

You can check the wrapper out at svn://arbitracker.org/phpillow/trunk - I am looking forward to any feedback. More details on the project and usage are included in the README.

Hi!

At first thanks for your good work and your great documentation! I'm interested in using couchdb with PHP. And I would like to see an other application how other people use it. Did someone know an OpenSource PHP/couchdb application?

Greetings from Germany,
