What is Symfony?
-----------------
Symfony is a PHP 5.3 full-stack web framework. It is written with speed and
flexibility in mind. It allows developers to build better and easy to maintain
websites with PHP.
Symfony can be used to develop all kind of websites, from your personal blog
to high traffic ones like Dailymotion or Yahoo! Answers.
Requirements
------------
Symfony is only supported on PHP 5.3.9 and up.
Be warned that PHP 5.3.16 has a major bug in the Reflection subsystem and is
not suitable to run Symfony (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62715)
[Symfony][1] is a **PHP framework** for web applications and a set of reusable
**PHP components**. Symfony is used by thousands of web applications (including
BlaBlaCar.com and Spotify.com) and most of the [popular PHP projects][2] (including
Drupal and Magento).
Installation
------------
The best way to install Symfony is to use the [official Symfony Installer][7].
It allows you to start a new project based on the version you want.
* [Install Symfony][4] with Composer or with our own installer (see
[requirements details][3]).
* Symfony follows the [semantic versioning][5] strictly, publishes "Long Term
Support" (LTS) versions and has a [release process][6] that is predictable and
business-friendly.
Documentation
-------------
The "[Quick Tour][1]" tutorial gives you a first feeling of the framework. If,
like us, you think that Symfony can help speed up your development and take
the quality of your work to the next level, read the official
[Symfony documentation][2].
* Read the [Getting Started guide][7] if you are new to Symfony.
* Try the [Symfony Demo application][23] to learn Symfony in practice.
* Master Symfony with the [Guides and Tutorials][8], the [Components docs][9]
and the [Best Practices][10] reference.
Community
---------
* [Join the Symfony Community][11] and meet other members at the [Symfony events][12].
* [Get Symfony support][13] on StackOverflow, Slack, IRC, etc.
* Follow us on [GitHub][14], [Twitter][15] and [Facebook][16].
Contributing
------------
Symfony is an open source, community-driven project. If you'd like to contribute,
please read the [Contributing Code][3] part of the documentation. If you're submitting
a pull request, please follow the guidelines in the [Submitting a Patch][4] section
and use [Pull Request Template][5].
Symfony is an Open Source, community-driven project with thousands of
[contributors][19]. Join them [contributing code][17] or [contributing documentation][18].
Community Reviews
-----------------
Security Issues
---------------
If you don't feel ready to contribute code or patches, reviewing issues and pull
requests can be a great start to get involved and give back. In fact, people who
"triage" issues are the backbone to Symfony's success!
More information can be found in the [Community Reviews][8] guide.
If you discover a security vulnerability within Symfony, please follow our
[disclosure procedure][20].
Running Symfony Tests
----------------------
About Us
--------
Information on how to run the Symfony test suite can be found in the

Symfony development is sponsored by [SensioLabs][21], lead by the
[Symfony Core Team][22] and supported by [Symfony contributors][19].
