Symfony is a framework for PHP [1]. The symfony framework is often used in combination with Propel and Doctrine.


Jobeet

Assuming Symfony is installed in (./lib/vendorsymfony). [2][3]

Check & Create

# Check configuration
$ php lib/vendor/symfony/data/bin/check_configuration.php
# command line|Command Line to display the version (note the capital V):
$ php lib/vendor/symfony/data/bin/symfony -V

The cli command generates the directory structure:

Directory Description
apps/ Hosts all project applications
cache/ The files cached by the framework
config/ The project configuration files
lib/ The project libraries and classes
log/ The framework log files
plugins/ The installed plugins
test/ The unit and functional test files
web/ The web root directory (see below)
# From the jobeet directory, run the symfony generate:project task to actually create the symfony project:
$ php lib/vendor/symfony/data/bin/symfony generate:project jobeet

This generates the symphony shortcut which contains php code for running the symphony task.

# Generate the contend
$ php symfony generate:app --escaping-strategy=on --csrf-secret=UniqueSecret frontend

Generates:

Directory Description
config/ The application configuration files
lib/ The application libraries and classes
modules/ The application code (MVC)
templates/ The global template files

In MAMP Pro creates a virtual Web Server and make an alias in the 'Customized virtual host general settings of 'Hosts' => 'Advanced'.

Alias /sf /Sources/php/jobeet/lib/vendor/symfony/data/wef/sf

Now try tp connect: using the following URLs:

Database

First decide which plugin to use:

  • Propel
  • Doctrine
# config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php.
public function setup()
{
  $this->enablePlugins(array('sfDoctrinePlugin'));
  // $this->enablePlugins(array('sfPropelPlugin'));
}
# We need to tell symfony to use this database for the Jobeet project:
# param 1 - DSN
# param 2 - Username
# param 3 - Password
$ php symfony configure:database "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=jobeet" root mYsEcret

And with the schema.yml:

Db Generation

Doctrine Propel
Based on the statements:
  • First in order to generate the SQL you must build your models from your schema files.
    • $ php symfony doctrine:build --model
  • generate and insert the SQL.
    • $ php symfony doctrine:build --sql
  • run the doctrine:insert-sql task:
    • $ php symfony doctrine:insert-sql
  • Generate the PHP classes
    • $ php symfony doctrine:build-model

The below snippet shows the results:

Database Fixtures

Each time symfony creates the tables in the database, all the data are lost. To populate the database with some initial data, we could create a PHP script, or execute some SQL statements with the mysql program. But as the need is quite common, there is a better way with symfony: create YAML files in the data/fixtures/ directory and use the doctrine:data-load task to load them into the database.

To load the fixture into the database use:

# Loading the initial data into the database is as simple as running the doctrine:data-load task:
$ php symfony doctrine:data-load
$ php symfony doctrine:build-all-reload
# data/fixtures/categories.yml

Basic Web CRUD

Symfony is able to automatically generate a module for a given model that provides basic manipulation features:

  • $ php symfony doctrine:generate-module --with-show --non-verbose-templates frontend job JobeetJob

Configuration Principles

For many symfony configuration files, the same setting can be defined at different levels:

Configuration Location Description
Default Inside the framework Default configuration
Global config/ Global configuration for a project
Local Foo apps apps/<Foo>/config Local configuration for an application
Local restricted to a module apps/<Foo>/<MODULE>/config/ Local configuration restricted to a module

As a rule of thumb, when something is configurable via a configuration file, the same can be accomplished with PHP code.
Instead of creating a view.yml file for the job module for instance, you can also use the use_stylesheet() helper' to include a stylesheet from a template:

<?php use_stylesheet('main.css') ?>

Choosing between one method or the other is really a matter of taste. The view.yml file provides a way to define things for all actions of a module, which is not possible in a template, but the configuration is quite static.
On the other hand, using the use_stylesheet() helper is more flexible and moreover, everything is in the same place:

  • the stylesheet definition
  • the HTML code.

For Jobeet, we will use the use_stylesheet() helper, so you can remove the view.yml' we have just created and update the job templates with the use_stylesheet() calls:

<!-- apps/frontend/modules/job/templates/indexSuccess.php -->
<?php use_stylesheet('jobs.css') ?>
 
<!-- apps/frontend/modules/job/templates/showSuccess.php -->
<?php use_stylesheet('job.css') ?>

  • Doctrine Project is the home of a selected set of PHP libraries primarily focused on providing persistence services and related functionality. Its prize projects are a Object Relational Mapper and the Database Abstraction Layer it is built on top of. You can read more about the projects below or view a list of all projects.
    • Doctrine OrientDB, Object Document Mapper is built for PHP 5.3.2+ and provides transparent persistence for PHP objects.
    • Doctrine Abstraction Layer, with many features for database schema introspection, schema management and PDO abstraction.
    • Doctrine Migrations additional functionality on top of the database abstraction layer (DBAL) for versioning your database schema and easily deploying changes to it. It is a very easy to use and powerful tool.
    • Doctrine ORM, Object relational mapper (ORM) for PHP that sits on top of a powerful database abstraction layer (DBAL). One of its key features is the option to write database queries in a proprietary object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL), inspired by Hibernates HQL. This provides developers with a powerful alternative to SQL that maintains flexibility without requiring unnecessary code duplication.

Symfony 1.x Documentation

Configuration

  • Reference Symfony 1.4 Introduction. Using a full-stack framework like symfony is one of the easiest ways to increase your speed and efficiency as a web developer.
  • Refrence Symfony 1.4 The YAML format. YAML is a simple language that describes data. Like PHP, it has a syntax for simple types like strings, booleans, floats, or integers.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 Configuration File Principles. Symfony configuration files are based on a common set of principles and share some common properties. This section describes them in detail, and acts as a reference for other sections describing YAML configuration files.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The settings.yml Configuration File is environment-aware, and benefits from the configuration cascade mechanism.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The factories.yml Configuration file. Factories are core objects needed by the framework during the life of any request. They are configured in the factories.yml configuration file and always accessible via the sfContext object.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The generator.yml Configuration file allows the creation of a backend interface for your model classes. It works whether you use Propel or Doctrine as your ORM.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The databases.yml Configuration file allows for the configuration of the database connection.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The security.yml Configuration file describes the authentication and authorization rules for a symfony application.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The cache.yml Configuration file describes the cache configuration for the view layer. This configuration file is only active if the cache setting is enabled in settings.yml.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The routing.yml Configuration file allows the definition of routes.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The app.yml configures application specific settings.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The filters.yml Configuration file describes the filter chain to be executed for every request.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The view.yml configures the view-layer.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The autoload.yml configuration determines which directories need to be autoloaded by Symfony. Each directory is scanned for PHP classes and interfaces.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The config_handlers.yml describes the configuration handler classes used to parse and interpret all other YAML configuration files.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The core_compile.yml describes the PHP files that are merged into one big file in the prod environment, to speed up the time it takes for symfony to load. By default, the main symfony core classes are defined in this configuration file.
  • Reference Symfony 1.4 The module.yml configuration file allows the configuration of a module.

Events

  • Reference Symfony 1.4 Events. The Symfony core components are decoupled thanks to an sfEventDispatcher object. The event dispatcher manages the communication between core components.

Tasks / CLI

  • Reference Symfony 1.4 Tasks. The framework comes bundled with a command line interface (CLI) tool. Built-in tasks allow the developer to perform a lot of fastidious and recurrent tasks in the life of a project.

Forms

  • Form Creation, A form is made of fields like hidden inputs, text inputs, select boxes, and checkboxes.
  • Form Validation, The validation of the user-given data.
  • Form for Web Designers enables the developer to customise the presentation of a web-form.
  • Propel Integration In a Web project, most forms are used to create or modify model objects. These objects are usually serialized in a database thanks to an Object Relational Mapping (ORM).
  • Internationalization and Localization A lot of popular Web applications are available in several languages, and sometimes, they are even customized based on the user culture. Symfony comes with a built-in framework that eases the management of these features (see chapter "I18n And L10n" (/book/1_2/13-I18n-and-L10n) of the symfony book).
  • Doctrine Integration Another ORM.
  • Widgets The Symfony form framework comes bundled with a lot of useful widgets. These widgets cover the common needs of most projects.
  • Validators The symfony form framework comes bundled with a lot of useful validators. These validators cover the common needs of most projects. This chapter describes the default form validators bundled with symfony. We have also included the validators from the sfPropelPlugin, and sfDoctrinePlugin plugins, as these plugins are supported by the core team and contain some very useful validators.
