@simshaun that Q is about ORMs; micro-ORMs are kinda a different category — Marc Gravell, Dec 09 '11 at 23:23

I consider http://redbeanphp.com/ to be a very lightweight ORM, not sure if it's comparable to the ones you listed.

How well does RedBeanPHP handle dates now? Is there clear examples on how to avoid problems mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3212917/redbean-o-rm-store-date-as-varchar255 – BuddyJoe Dec 09 '11 at 23:07
It's designed to handle them differently from how Sirber describes in the linked question: http://www.redbeanphp.com/extra/special_types – Jordan Dec 09 '11 at 23:18

IMHO ORM is not only right way, for many reasons. May be some DAL could be enough in many cases. Try e.g. simple and smart query builder FluentPDO
