Having just launched “Acme Video Website”, I tinkered with a few things, re-synced and got… Warning: htmlentities() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/acme_video/docs/lib/symfony/config/sfViewConfigHandler.class.php on line 229 Ouchy. So I checked sfViewConfigHandler.class.php to see what was causing the fuss... Join discussion...

I recently came across the problem of using multiple input_auto_complete_tag’s. The problem was I needed to store the ID of my first category somewhere, so I could filter the sub-categories returned in the second input_auto_complete_tag. Also, just to make things a little more complicated, there is a third input_auto_complete_tag that needs results filtered by the previous IDs... Join discussion...

When installing plugins in your Symfony application, the installation process sometimes places a symbolic link in the public web directory, to the plugin web directory.

Windows does not know what to do with them. Join discussion...

You can configure a lot of caching in symfony, so rarely do you need to cache things yourself, but it may happen that one day you decide you need it. I came to that point when I wanted to cache certain results from external web services. I could have used the Function caching, but in this case I wanted to keep a bit more control, possibly altering the cache... Join discussion...

The last two installments of this ongoing PHP series focused on the advantages of frameworks, demonstrating just how much time and effort they can eliminate doing otherwise tedious tasks such as building backend management scaffolds and performing forms validation. These tutorials focused on the increasingly popular CakePHP framework, however in this installment I'll switch gears a bit and instead examine my preferred framework solution: symfony. Specifically, I'll show you how symfony's built-in support for the Prototype JavaScript framework can greatly enhance the user experience within your applications. Join discussion...

This article covers how to use the jQuery library in to power ajax applications developed in the PHP5 framework, Symfony-project. You need to have basic understanding of AJAX, JavaScript and the MVC structure of Symfony-project to get the fullest out of this article. The example shown below uses only a few lines of JavaScript to globally power the typical ajax calls used on the site Kevo.com. It is also totally degradable and easy to remove and test your application without AJAX enabled. Join discussion...
