Downloaded from CVS, it has 'experiments/programlisting' directory

As of the time of writing, there is no stable release of doctrine. That is not to say
that it's unstable, but simply that the best way to install it is to aquire it from
SVN.

To get the latest copy, simple check out 'trunk' from SVN. You will need subversion
install to check out doctrine. If you are unable to install subversion for whatever
reason, see below for details on downloading a snapshot.

Doctrine support <ulink

files so that you do not have to include anything more then the base
file. There are two different strategies that can be used to do this:

If you do use the <emphasis>__autoload</emphasis> function for your own

<para>
If your project uses autoload and/or you have other libraries that use
it you could use <ulink

to register more then one autoloading function.

Compiling is a method for making a single file of most used doctrine
runtime components including the compiled file instead of multiple files
(in worst cases dozens of files) can improve performance by an order of
magnitude. In cases where this might fail, a Doctrine_Exception is throw
detailing the error.
