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 5.3.3 and up.
Be warned that PHP versions before 5.3.8 are known to be buggy and might not
work for you:
* before PHP 5.3.4, if you get "Notice: Trying to get property of
non-object", you've hit a known PHP bug (see
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52083 and
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50027);
* before PHP 5.3.8, if you get an error involving annotations, you've hit a
known PHP bug (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55156).
* 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)
Installation
------------
The best way to install Symfony is to download the Symfony Standard Edition
