PHP/Doctrine bootstrap for review
Here are a few lines that might be useful to add if you would like to use these options:

/**
 * Needed for SoftDelete to work
 */
$manager-&gt;setAttribute(Doctrine::ATTR_USE_DQL_CALLBACKS, true);

/**
 * Tell doctrine to look for custom ___Table classes in the models folder
 */
$manager-&gt;setAttribute(Doctrine::ATTR_AUTOLOAD_TABLE_CLASSES, true);
