What is Digg?53 Comments
- nperriault, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32One of the very best PHP5 frameworks on the marketplace. For free.
- geeXP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I've used several PHP frameworks and Ruby and Rails, and this one is the best of them all... I've been using it for my main work for over a year already, so you might say I have some experience with it.
Thanks to the developers for all their great work! - megaton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Good to know it can handle the Digg Effect... d'oh!
- rodrigo74, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Nah, people TALK a lot about RoR, but I am not sure there are that many sites implemented on RoR yet.
- mykehsd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11A great enterprise framework.. definately recommended.
Don't let the 1.0 version fool you - it has more features then many 2.x and 3.x frameworks. - j0k3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10We are waiting so looong, thx to the sf staff !! :)
- SlickRick12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Symfony is truely a gem. Thanks again to everyone who has made Symfony what it is today!
- Fixe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Impressive framework. Since I discovered it, all my projects are done with symfony.
- jasonrowe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7well done Fabien and sensio. i want to take a moment to thank all involved especially those in the irc channel that have given hours and hours of help to get newbies up and running. Ive read the logs recently and wanted to make a point of saying that. also i big up to the plugin developers especially the doctrine plugin.i have been waiting for this for a while and can now push forward with symfony. its out of alpha, its out of beta, its our of RC! well done.
- jawngee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7@ androse:
Until you try to put that RoR app into production. Good luck with that.
37signals doesn't even use RoR for most of their apps, most of them are a mix of php/java from what I've read. - halk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Symfony is very great. No PHP Projects without it anymore.
Very awsome. - farafa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Congrats... This is an excellent framework... and an outstanding effort by the community.
Wish you all the best. - mluggy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Have you actually tried Symfony? it has many configuration files but that's because everything can be customized and well thought of. Symfony is really on a different level. Compare, for example, the basic (mod_rewrite based) handling of URLs in CI here: http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html against the highly sophisticated routing system in Symfony - http://www.symfony-project.com/book/trunk/09-Links-and-the-Routing-System
- leighhalliday, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Symfony also has an online textbook available for FREE. The exact same textbook sells on Amazon for 40 dollars or so. For anyone new to symfony (like me!), this is a great resource. I start a new job in 2 weeks that is a php/symfony shop, so this has been very helpful.
- mindwarp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@jawngee: "bizarre YAML B.S"
What is there to learn? YAML is just spaces, newlines, and colons. - wjgilmore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Hi,
The book is indeed free, however to clarify, it's published under the GNU Free Documentation License in conjunction with Apress. Therefore by all means download the electronic version from the symfony website, however don't be shy about purchasing the print version particularly if you'd like to support ongoing development of symfony, not to mention provide publishers such as Apress with the incentive to continue publishing books in this fashion. We think these sorts of projects make great sense for both the community and the publisher, and hope you find the book useful.
Jason (Apress' open source editor) - hartym, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well in fact the problem was not at all symfony related, but trac+mod_cgi related, and seeing the speed whil still in top5 digg posts, it's really a good test
And as someone was pointing out, it's on use on Yahoo Bookmarks :p - hartym, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Just excellent, nothing to say :)
Hope that PHPDoctrine will be be stable and featurefull enough soon that we wont have to use Propel anymore :) - pookey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I'm currently using Doctrine on a production site, and it's fantastic. I find it much faster to code with than propel
- brox, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Have a look at Django if you are more comfortable with Python than PHP or Ruby:
http://www.djangoproject.com/
Different language, similar functionality. Did wonders for my productivity. - halfer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hi all. Committed symfony fan here, signed up to digg especially to add my voice! To readers who are not yet swept up in the wonderful world of web frameworks, do include symfony in your list of systems to try (you might also list Rail, Django, PHPCake, Zend plus others in that list).
As it happens I am still using 0.7.1914 on a production system, and intend to launch one new application within this system before upgrading to 1.0 stable, and thereafter trialling the sfDoctrine plugin to replace Propel. The debugging system is fantastic - I use it all the time in combo with Firebug - and now I wouldn't consider writing PHP code without it.
An enormous 'well done' should go out to all coders and contributers who have worked on this project. This is a product that all involved can be really proud of. - phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hooray! 'svn up' time!
- mindwarp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3PHP powers many major web sites, and is used for any webpage logic. For instance, this comment system on dig. PHP talks to the database, asks for a list of comments related to this article, then will print them out here.
- cprior, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4The year is 2007. The intarweb is entirely occupied by ruby code. Well, not entirely... One small web agency of indomitable PHP5-Gauls is still committing against the newcomer.

I like! - hartym, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3There is a sfSuperCache plugin that does exactly what you describe, even when server is not overloaded. Instead of caching little parts of page, it creates a static version of the page for pages that does not change often and allow access it via url rewriting
PHP does scale, but apache does not :) and as many knows, it's a big resources eater :) - labinooz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2We're using it for SplitGames.com and it's great !!!
- Angostura, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I think the summary writer could have bothered to have included: "a web application framework for PHP5 projects."
- hansbrix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4fantastic documention, simple configuration scheme, stable -- and i daresay that phpdoctrine (integrated with symfony with a plugin) is the best ORM i've seen yet! of course, there is always room for improvement, which symfony will continue to do, i'm sure :)
- GorillaCowboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I hear a lot of discussion all over Digg about PHP and I was wondering if someone could give me the run down on what kind of scripting PHP is used for. I did some research on the internet about it but nothing really seemed too clear about it. I'm a novice web developer and am curious about its implementation.
Thanks in advance for any help. - enkeedou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How does Symfony compare to Ruby On Rails ?
- kjub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's the first PHP framework I tried (after serious comparison and I'm happy I choose Symfony now) and it pushes possibilities what I can do with PHP to whole new level and it can be done fast.
It's a pleasure to work with Symfony, especially for those familiar with programming patterns and good practices, because Symfony honors them.
There are still areas where can be done some improvement, but they are definitely not a crucial ones, so jump in soon to not miss this wonderful framework. - vinilios, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Congratulations to the symfony group and users, by far the most complete and well-put-together php framework

Wow, that's an impressive list of sites I've never heard of, laden with too much css and that one overused obnoxious 'web 2.0' theme. RoR has definitely proved its scalability and speed and is obviously catching up to PHP 5.0 in real-world use.
Looks like someone's a trendy rails developer. (You.) - aar0n, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4I would never build another PHP application without Symfony... it's remarkable what it can do. Thank you Symfony team!!! Your hard work is greatly appreciated!
- smartalecks, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I dunno if it's just me but the server is either really crawling or is dead.
http://www.symfony-project.com.nyud.net:8080/weblog/2007/02/19/symfony-1-0-released.html - anastrophe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3fifteen minutes ago when i went to the site via the article link, all the links on the page redirected to the just that article. now they're working. i guess symfony doesn't handle the digg effect very well.
- jawngee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I'm with you Knugen, I'm a big fan of Code Igniter. I've reviewed Symfony, Cake, Zend Framework and Code Igniter, and CI won it for me because of how slim and simple they've kept everything.
They're all pretty cool, but I thought Symfony and Cake the most complicated of the ones I looked at. I don't see a purpose for Smarty and for Symfony's bizarre YAML B.S. More solutions looking for problems, I guess. - knugen, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Personally, I prefer CodeIgniter over symfony because there is no command lining in CI. I also found symfony harder to grasp than CI and more "controlling", but maybe it's just me :)
- metallikop, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I sincerely hope their framework is more stable and feature complete then their server. Honestly symfony is nice though I haven't used it extensively. Shame on you digg for breaking their servers.
Edit: JymBrittain is much faster then I. - androse, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Last time I checked (about 6 months ago), Symphony was a poor man's copy of Rails. It tried to copy the Rails elegance with a clunky PHP syntax.
So unless you are absolutely obliged to stay on PHP, do yourself a favor and go with Rails (or Django). You'll struggle for the first 6 months, and then you'll laugh the next time you look at PHP code :) - matttt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1The site is super slow
- jcblitz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2How many top pay frameworks are there?
- ayur, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0good framework
- ChrisOdaWas, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3@rodrigo74
Concerning your sureness:

(and that aren't even all of the Ruby on Rails websites, but many of them)
Site is down, seems to me like Symfony can't scale ^^ Na, just a joke. They just have bad hosting. - xutopia, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Best compared to other PHP frameworks maybe...
- hartym, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1lol you're really lame, maybe should have took one minute to figure out "why"....
well you seem to have high esteem of yourself, burried in the lamerz zone. CHEERS - WALoeIII, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Someone needs to write little app that swaps out a dynamic application for a static page when the server's load reaches a threshold. 500'ing looks pretty amateur when you are trying to promote your new enterprise framework.
PHP doesn't scale! :-P - luckynas, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0last time i checked you cannot even output a word using php
