Small refactoring of entity classes - PHP Plattform for language services

Our PHP Plattform for language services empowers our customers to access human quality translations leveraged by modern translation technology. We developed the plattform ourselves but it is close to the Symfony structure. As we are growing we need to improve the plattform and add new features. We are offering several tasks starting from improving existing sourcecode (refactoring) as well as adding new functionality. In this small project, our 88 entity classes should be refactored. Currently, the following structure is present in the class: // Database cols protected $cols = array( 'id' => array('value' => NULL, 'db_operations' => 0), 'name' => array('value' => NULL, 'db_operations' => 1) ); /** * Object init */ protected function init($id) { $result = $this->selectAllById($id); if(!$result) {return;} $this->setId($result['id']); $this->setName($result['name']); } //GETTER - SETTER /** * @return int */ public function getId(){ return $this->cols['id']['value']; } /** * @param $id */ protected function setId($id){ $this->cols['id']['value'] = $id; } /** * @return string */ public function getName() { return $this->cols['name']['value']; } /** * @param $value */ public function setName($value) { $this->cols['name']['value'] = $value; } The structure should be changed in a way that instead of $cols, there will be class params used, like in symfony: protected int id; protected string name; /** * Object init */ protected function init($id) { $result = $this->selectAllById($id); if(!$result) {return;} $this->setId($result['id']); $this->setName($result['name']); } /** * @return int */ public function getId(){ return $this->id; } /** * @param $id */ protected function setId($id){ $this->id = $id; } /** * @return string */ public function getName() { return $this->name; } /** * @param $value */ public function setName($value) { $this->name = $value; } We wrote a script to generate the new form out of the database fields. I this project your task is to find the best way to generate the new classes (prefered automatically with our script) and to review and correct them so they will work. It is possible that for some classes additional work needs to be done. This will be discussed and can be processed in a follow up project.
