Summary As I'm looking on stackoverflow and around the net, I find that there is a general lack of good documentation on best practices for caching a high performance site that uses sessions. It would be helpful if we can share some ideas around some basic building blocks particularly around caching. For the purpose of this discussion, I'm avoiding memcache and focusing on the caching of static and pages that are fully generated. So to set up the scenario, imagine a web server (say nginx), reverse proxy (say varnish), app server (whatever), db server (say mysql). Anonymous Static items (gif

I am new to Symfony and am not sure how to best structure my web project. The solution must accommodate 3 use cases: Public access to www.mydomain.com for general use Member only access to member.mydomain.com Administrator access to admin.mydomain.com All three virtual hosts point to the Symfony /web directory Questions: Is this 3 separate applications in my Symfony project (e.g. "frontend", "backend" and "admin" or "public", "member", "admin")? Is this a good approach if there is to be some duplicate code (e.g. generating a member list would be common across all 3 applications, but presented

I'm having trouble crafting a fairly simple query with Doctrine... I have two arrays ($countries, $cities) and I need to check whether database record values would match any inside either. I'm looking for something like: ->whereIn('country', 'city', $countries, $cities) ... with 'country' being a WHERE IN for $countries and 'city' being a WHERE IN for $city. I could separate the two out but the needed query has lots of other conditions so that's not possible. The resulting SQL I'm after would be: SELECT ... WHERE ... AND ... AND ... AND ('country' IN (1,2,3) OR 'city' IN (7,8,9)) AND ... AND .

I'm using $this->redirect('route', array('id' => $id)); but I need to be able to put "#" anchor at the end but I can't find a way of doing that. Any ideas? The code $this->redirect('route', array('id' => $id)); returns /route/id/5 but I want to be able to create /route/id/5#anchor7 $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('route', array('id' => $id)) . '#anchor7'); UPDATE: In Symfony 3.2 you can do this: // generating a URL with a fragment (/settings#password) $this->redirectToRoute('user_settings', ['_fragment' => 'password']); See https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-3-2-routing-improvements

I'd like to promote loose coupling in my PHP code, by making certain classes observable. Symfony's EventDispatcher component looks promising, as does the SPL SplObserver / SplSubject pair of classes. What's the best way to do this? I can see a couple of different possibilities: (1) Inject an EventDispatcher instance into each observable class (keeping track of a global EventDispatcher instance): class Foo { public function __construct($dispatcher) { $this->dispatcher = $dispatcher; } public function bar() { $this->dispatcher->dispatch(...); } } (2) Have the observable class extend the

My team at work is considering to use a framework for developing web sites and applications. Some of the seniors are convinced we should use the Zend Framework because it is easier to pick-and-choose the features so the framework we will be light-weight. I'm afraid however that they are only looking at the technical advantages that a lightweight framework will have. In my opinion it is better to have a full-stack framework (and I am a proponent of Symfony) because It will also provide us with a standard way of working without writing new documentation. If we would like to use new features we

How to set different template layouts for different modules in Symfony? I have a banking application that consists of a login screen, and a member section. So when a user goes to my site he will be presented with a login screen. After login in he will be redirected to the member section that he can do his whatever banking needs. So, how to set different layouts for the login screen and the pages inside the member section? Symfony seems to use frontend/templates/layout.php as the template for ALL pages. Is it possible to define different layouts? Yes, you can define separate layouts per view

What I want to do is quite simple: store data in a custom config file that I want to read later on. I created my file something.yml that I put in the global config directory. It looks like that: prod: test: ok dev: test: ko all: foo: bar john: doe Then I copied the config_handlers.yml and also put it in the config directory and added the following at the top of the file: config/something.yml: class: sfDefineEnvironmentConfigHandler param: prefix: something_ But if I'm calling sfConfig::get("something_foo"); I keep getting NULL . What did I do wrong? I just want to read values, so no need to
