Framework for database manipulation

Priyank Bolia

Is there a PHP framework, that lets me write such code.

class Item
{
    private $_id; //primary key
    private $name;
    private $price;
    function __construct($name, $price) {
       $this->name = $name;
       $this->price = $price;
    }
}
...
$item = new Item(...);
db->Save($item);
...
db->Delete($item);
...
db->Update($item);
...
Item[] = db->Fetch($whereClause);

Yes Admins, I searched on Google, but I got lost in the vast sea (Doctrine, Propel, ActiveRecords,…), asked a different question on SO (which prohibited me from comparison), so I am asking differently now, which framework lets me write such simple code, without much additional coding, no XML, YAML.
Or additionally how to write such if not there. Any pointers will be helpful. Off course I have PHP 5.3 and can use PDO, but performance is a concern (magic functions…), not extensive features list (we support this thing also, that you will never use).

OOPS: forgot to add, don’t want a framework like CakePHP, etc. I am writing simple php without frameworks, want just some libraries that I can include into my project and call the above syntax. Its ok for me, if it requires a little SQL behind.
