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 built 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.
|
|
|
|
High Performance
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Built with performance in mind, Symfony 2 is one of the fastest PHP
|
|
frameworks. It is up to 3 times faster than symfony 1.4 or Zend Framework 1.10
|
|
and consumes half the memory.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Symfony is only supported on PHP 5.3.0 and up.
|
|
|
|
Tests
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
To run the Symfony test suite, you need PHPUnit 3.5 or later.
|
|
|
|
If you want to run the tests that depend on external dependencies, the test
|
|
suite needs to be able to autoload them. By default, they are autoloaded from
|
|
a `vendor/` directory under the main root directory (see `autoload.php.dist`).
|
|
To put them in a different directory, create your own `autoload.php` file.
|
|
|
|
A working `vendor/` directory looks like the following:
|
|
|
|
* `doctrine/`
|
|
* `doctrine-migrations`
|
|
* `phing/`
|
|
* `propel/`
|
|
* `swiftmailer/`
|
|
* `twig/`
|
|
* `zend/`
|
|
|
|
Note that the code coverage only works if you have all dependencies installed.

Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Symfony 2.0 is still in the early stages of development, but the
|
|
"[Quick Tour][1]" tutorial can get you started fast.
|
|
|
|
The "Quick Tour" tutorial barely scratches the surface of Symfony 2.0 but it
|
|
gives you a first feeling of the framework. If, like us, you think that
|
|
Symfony 2.0 can help speed up your development and take the quality of your
|
|
work to the next level, visit the official [Symfony 2 website][2] to learn
|
|
more.
