symfony | Web PHP Framework | Blog | The wait is over: symfony 1.1 released
As you may know, we have been working for a very long time on the next stable version of symfony. Now the day has come to celebrate the immediate availability of the long awaited 1.1 stable release of the symfony framework!
symfony Web PHP Framework » Blog | The symfony 1.1 architecture
Before we release symfony 1.1 later this week, I want to give some information about the new symfony 1.1 architecture. Apart from the new exiting features we have in symfony 1.1, this version also represents a year of hard work to refactor the internals. Let's dig into symfony internals a bit!
sfStatsPlugin - symfony - Trac
by 1 otherThe sfStatsPlugin provides an easy way to display charts based on data you already own. Whether you want to follow the global progress of your application usage, or to analyze precisely how many specific actions were done by users under particular conditions, this plugin is for you.
Based on a simple YAML configuration file, the plugin will take advantage of the methods from your Propel Object Model to display a nice line chart from Google Chart API or a jQuery flot.
symfony Web PHP Framework » Blog |How to create an optimized version of your website for the iPhone in symfony 1.1
symfony 1.1 introduces native support for different formats and mime-types. This means that the same model and controller can have different templates based on the requested format. The default format is still HTML but symfony supports several other formats out of the box as defined in the factories.yml file

symfony Web PHP Framework » Blog »How do I use Propel 1.3 in symfony 1.1?
(via)Starting with symfony 1.1, it is now possible to easily use Propel 1.3 in your project to take advantage of its speed improvements, nested set implementation, object instance pooling, among others. Most importantly, Propel 1.3 uses PDO instead of Creole as the DBAL, offering a significant performance boost.

sfAdvancedConstPlugin - symfony - Trac
The sfAdvancedConstPlugin is a symfony plugin that provides app wide constants functionality. It automatically generates constant values based on sfRefTable values and make them accessible in every app module. It works the following way - go through the tables defined in sfRefTable and generate for each id / name pair from this table constants. This plugin is different from sfConst plugin which required to keep all the constants directly in sfConst table and did not require ref tables. Effectively, both plugins are usefull to be used.
Installation
sfSyncClusterPlugin - symfony - Trac
The sfSyncClusterPlugin introduces a symfony sync-cluster task. The symfony sync-cluster task is intended as a replacement for the symfony sync task. While the plugin is backwards-compatible with symfony sync (they even use the same configuration files) this plugin offers several advantages over a traditional symfony sync. The symfony sync-cluster task:
* Synchronizes a Symfony application across an unlimited number of servers. Symfony's sync only works for a single server.
* Clears the Symfony cache on each server with a symfony cc. Doing this with sync requires an additional command.
* Allows you to use ssh public/private keyfile authentication so you won't be prompted for a password during long deployments.
* Allows you to deploy your web assets to a CDN without having to copy your entire site. The sfSyncCluster currently supports standard rsync transfer and transfer to Amazon S3.
* Allows you to specify groups of servers to sync. If you have many servers, you can place them into logical groups and move them around quickly.
Cross apps url helper for symfony 1.0

Login form in Symfony 1.1, with the new form system
Login form in Symfony 1.1, with the new form system
Symfony 1.1 comes with a complete new form system. It works completely according to the MVC draft:
* Model: the validation
* View: the form self through widgets
* Controller: the form class that the model and view parts manages and uses
Make sure you have a running Symfony 1.1 based project and application and modules. In this example I build the form inside the myModule module and myLogin action.
My form makes use of i18n, which is in my case autoloaded in settings.yml.
This tutorial uses Symfony 1.1 beta4 and RC1.
Is symfony 1.1 too verbose?
by 2 othersAmong the remarks have about symfony 1.1, the most recurring one is the shift of philosophy between the 1.0 and 1.1 syntax. If symfony 1.0 syntax was made to write code fast, I believe it is not the case anymore with symfony 1.1, which is designed primarily for extensibility.
The result is that a symfony 1.1 application looks a lot more like a Java program. I tend to agree that Object-Orientation is a good thing because it forces you to organize your code in a modular way. But when object-orientation makes you need to keep a symfony book aside at all times and multiply the number of LOC by two, I think it's a dead end.

A small symfony for a fast response
Sometimes, the price of a request when dealing with a symfony application can be overwhelming. But instead of getting back to spaghetti PHP, maybe you can get a handful of symfony features for a share of its initialization time.

symfony Web PHP framework » symfony Weblog » Is symfony too slow for real-world usage?
Let’s finish by saying that in most cases, symfony does not compete with RoR or Django. The choice is often between symfony, .Net and Java Struts, because these are the real alternatives for professional developments.

How to debug a project
No matter how good a coder you are, you will face errors one day or another - even if you use symfony. Detecting and understanding errors is one key of fast application development. Fortunately, symfony provides several debug tools for the developer.

symfony PHP5 framework » Chapter 17 - Extending Symfony
You will probably need to reuse a piece of code that you developed for one of your symfony applications. If you can package this piece of code into a single class, no problem: Drop the class in one of the lib/ folders of another application and the autoloader will take care of the rest. But if the code is spread across more than one file, such as a complete new theme for the administration generator or a combination of JavaScript files and helpers to automate your favorite visual effect, just copying the files is not the best solution
