Is there a PHP equivalent of Rails migrations?
Looking for a good solution for configuring schema changes locally and then automatically bumping them to the server without losing data.
Ruckusing Migrations is a "Database Migrations" framework for PHP 5.2+.
The framework is modeled after ActiveRecord::Migrations from Ruby on Rails.
My project http://github.com/robmorgan/phinx is a small lightweight migration engine without any bloat or big framework dependency. It borrows the best parts from several tools including ActiveRecord::Migration.
Doctrine, an ORM and DBAL, has got migrations.
http://github.com/nickinuse/php-migrations is built on RoRs approach
Just to throw my hat into the ring, Ladder is a simple, pure PHP migrations system.
