After the YAML and the Dependency Injection, it's time for the Symfony Event Dispatcher component to join the crowd of the Symfony components. This component is not new. It has been introduced in symfony 1.1 and is heavily used in the symfony core to make symfony more decoupled and more flexible.

The Symfony Event Dispatcher component is represented by an Octopus.

Of course, you can start using it right away in your non-symfony projects by reading the dedicated book:

Like other published components, the component comes with a test suite that covers 100% of the code, and it is continuously built by the Sensio Labs continuous integration server, Sismo.

The idea of this event comes from a discussion between members of the #symfony-fr IRC channel. The main idea is to let people contribute back something to symfony that only takes a few minutes a day.

The main goals of this event are the following:

• Enhance the quality of the documentation
• Enhance performance of future releases
• Enhance the coverage of the automated tests
• Close the open bugs to let the core team work on new features

The rules are simple:

• Once registered into the event, you have to close/resolve/create+patch a minimum of one ticket a day.

• You can work on two tickets the same day and dispatch them on two different days (for instance, you cannot work on symfony on Monday, but you have fixed two tickets on Tuesday, so just pick one and pretend to have fixed it on Monday)

• Each month, prizes will be awarded to three participants (the rules will be choosed depending on how many contributors registered but at least one prize will be randomly offered to one of them).

And here are the rewards:

Each month, Fabien Potencier offers a book of winner choice:

• Practical symfony 1.2 for Doctrine - second edition
• OR Practical symfony 1.2 for Propel - second edition
• OR Symfony : Mieux développer en PHP avec Symfony 1.2 et Doctrine
• OR The symfony 1.2 Reference Guide (soon available)

Each month, Jonathan Wage offers a Doctrine Book.

Pascal Borreli offers a surprise gift.

Each month, ServerGrove offers the winner:

• $100 credit for ServerGrove services (can be transfered to family, friends or customers)
• OR $50 Amazon gift certificate

For July and August, Ideato.it offers a random PHP t-shirt (size L) from php|architect If you want to sponsor the event, contact me at pborreli@sqli.com.

How can you participate?

First, go to the dedicated Wiki page and add your name to the list of participants.

Then, read carefully the How to contribute to symfony wiki page.

Eventually, every day, add the ticket number you added/closed/patched to the table (#9999) under the correct day.

Some weeks ago, I introduced the symfony components project. The first component to be released was the YAML component.

Today, I'm excited to announce the immediate availability of the second symfony component, the Symfony Dependency Injection Container. This component is one of the core libraries that will power Symfony 2. But you don't need to wait for Symfony 2 to be released to benefit from it. You can start using it today and give us feedback.

As for YAML, the Symfony Dependency Injection Container has its own dedicated website:

The component has already a full book dedicated to it, and a full API documentation.

It also sports a robust test suite with a 100% code coverage as you can see for yourself in the screenshot below.

As for all other symfony products, the component is monitored by the symfony continuous integration server, Sismo, and all the builds are publicly available.

A few weeks ago, I asked the community to help symfony get selected as a finalist for the Sourceforge Community Choice Awards.

And guess what? The answer from the community has been extraordinary! Thanks to our dedicated community, symfony has been chosen as a finalist in three categories:

• Best Project

• Best Tool or Utility for Developers

• Best Project for the Enterprise

It's great, but that's just the beginning. For symfony to win one or more categories, we need your help again.

The first thing to do is to vote for symfony on the Sourceforge Awards dedicated page.

The next thing to do is to spread the word about the competition around you (you can start by retweeting my announcement on Twitter, or publish a post on your blog like I did on mine).

Last but not the least, make sure your mom doesn't forget to vote for symfony ;)

Before we began working on symfony 1.3, we asked the community about their priorities for the framework.

We had a lot of suggestions, and some of them were contradictory. As of today, the second and fourth most voted suggestions are: "make Doctrine the default ORM" and "do not make Doctrine the default ORM". How can we make everybody happy?

Thanks to the new installer feature of the generate:project task, symfony 1.3 is able to create a project for Doctrine or Propel very easily.

But we still need a default ORM. That was not my opinion some months ago, but after some great discussions with members of the community, I changed my mind. We don't want to bother new users with a question about the ORM they want to use. How a newcomer can make a choice between Propel and Doctrine? It is just not possible. We cannot ask him to read all the documentation just to make a choice. It does not make any sense. As Doctrine is the future of symfony, we decided to make it the default choice when creating a new project:

$ php /path/to/symfony generate:project foobar

But if you still want to use Propel, that's not a problem, just add a --orm option:

$ php /path/to/symfony generate:project foobar --orm=Propel

The implementation is dead-easy, and you will now enjoy a Propel-free project when using Doctrine, and of course the other way around when working with Propel.

To sum up, symfony 1.3 support both Propel and Doctrine equally, with a preference towards Doctrine if you start a new project today.

Today, I'm really excited to announce a great new feature for the upcoming symfony 1.3 version: the ability to customize the project creation process. Let me explain why it is useful and how you can take advantage of this cool feature.

Customizing the generate:project Task

As you might know, symfony tasks are classes. As any other class, it is pretty easy to customize and extend the existing tasks; except for one of them: the generate:project task. That's because no project exists when you execute this task, and so there is no way to customize it... until now. The task now takes an --installer option, which is a PHP script that will be executed during the project creation process:

$ php /path/to/symfony generate:project --installer=/domewhere/fabien_installer.php

If you enable URL file-access for the include() function in your php.ini, you can even pass a URL as an installer (of course you need to be very careful when doing this with script you know nothing about):

$ symfony generate:project --installer=http://example.com/sf_installer.php

This script is executed in the context of the sfGenerateProjectTask instance, so you have access to all its methods to do your job, and there is a bunch of them.

installDir()

The first useful method is installDir(). It allows you to copy a bunch of files in the newly created project. Let's say you want to add some files here and there in the default directory structure, create them under a skeleton directory and add the following code in your installer script:

$this->installDir(dirname(__FILE__).'/skeleton'); runTask()

You can also run another task with the runTask() method. It takes the task name, and a string representing the arguments and the options you want to pass to it:

$this->runTask('configure:author', "'Fabien Potencier'");

You can also pass the arguments and the options as arrays:

$this->runTask('configure:author', array('author' => 'Fabien Potencier'));

The task shortcut names also work as expected:

$this->runTask('cc');

You can of course install plugins:

$this->runTask('plugin:install', 'sfDoctrineGuardPlugin');

If you want to install a specific version of a plugin, just appends the needed options to the argument string:

$this->runTask('plugin:install', 'sfDoctrineGuardPlugin --release=10.0.0 --stability=beta');

If you need to execute a task from a freshly installed plugin, don't forget to reload the tasks:

$this->reloadTasks(); Loggers

As you are inside a task context, you can log things pretty easily:

// a simple log $this->log('some installation message');   // log a block $this->logBlock(array('', 'Fabien\'s Crazy Installer', ''), 'ERROR');   // log in a section $this->logSection('install', 'install some crazy files');

You can ask a confirmation:

if (!$this->askConfirmation('Are you sure you want to run this crazy installer?')) { $this->logSection('install', 'You made the right choice!');   return; }

You can also ask any question:

$secret = $this->ask('Give a unique string for the CSRF secret:');

Or ask a question and validate the answer:

$validator = new sfValidatorEmail(array(), array('invalid' => 'hmmm, it does not look like an email!')); $email = $this->askAndValidate('Please, give me your email:', $validator); Filesystem Operations

If you want to do filesystem changes, you can access the filesystem object like this:

$this->getFilesystem()->...(); It's just a PHP script

The installer script is just another PHP file. So, you can do pretty anything you want. Be creative!

Example Script

Here is an example that uses a lot of the possibilities described above:

<?php   $this->logBlock(array('', 'Fabien\'s Crazy Installer', ''), 'ERROR');   if (!$this->askConfirmation('Are you sure you want to run this crazy installer?')) { $this->logSection('install', 'You made the right choice!');   return; }   $this->installDir(dirname(__FILE__).'/skeleton');   $this->runTask('plugin:publish-assets');   $validator = new sfValidatorEmail(array(), array('invalid' => 'hmmm, it does not look like an email!')); $email = $this->askAndValidate('Please, give me your email:', $validator);   $this->runTask('configure:author', sprintf("'%s'", $email));   $secret = $this->ask('Give a unique string for the CSRF secret:');   $this->runTask('generate:app', 'frontend --escaping-strategy=true --csrf-secret='.$secret);   $this->runTask('plugin:install', 'sfDoctrineGuardPlugin'); $this->reloadTasks();   $this->runTask('guard:create-user', 'fabien SuperPassword');   $this->runTask('cache:clear'); The Sandbox Creation Process

You probably know the symfony sandbox. It's a pre-packaged symfony project with a ready-made application and a pre-configured SQLite database. It helps newcomers bypass the command-line altogether as they just have to download the archive and they are ready to go.

The sandbox is nothing more than a bunch a commands executed before the archive is created. Until now, this job was done by the data/bin/create_sandbox.sh script. As of symfony 1.3, it is just an installer script. So, you can create a project that is the same as the sandbox like this:

$ php symfony generate:project --installer=/path/to/symfony/data/bin/sandbox_installer.php

Is it useful to create a sandbox? Probably not. But you can have a look at the installer script as a good example of what can be done:

$this->installDir(dirname(__FILE__).'/sandbox_skeleton');   $this->logSection('install', 'add symfony CLI for Windows users'); $this->getFilesystem()->copy(dirname(__FILE__).'/symfony.bat', sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir').'/symfony.bat');   $this->logSection('install', 'add LICENSE'); $this->getFilesystem()->copy(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../LICENSE', sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir').'/LICENSE');   $this->logSection('install', 'default to sqlite'); $this->runTask('configure:database', sprintf("'sqlite:%s/sandbox.db'", sfConfig::get('sf_data_dir')));   $this->logSection('install', 'create an application'); $this->runTask('generate:app', 'frontend');   $this->logSection('install', 'publish assets'); $this->runTask('plugin:publish-assets');   $this->logSection('install', 'fix sqlite database permissions'); touch(sfConfig::get('sf_data_dir').'/sandbox.db'); chmod(sfConfig::get('sf_data_dir'), 0777); chmod(sfConfig::get('sf_data_dir').'/sandbox.db', 0777);   $this->logSection('install', 'add an empty file in empty directories'); $seen = array(); foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir')), RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST) as $path => $item) { if ($item->isDir() && !$item->isLink() && !isset($seen[$path])) { touch($item->getRealPath().'/.sf'); }   $seen[$item->getPath()] = true; }

That's pretty much it...

Instead of running the same tasks again and again each time you create a new symfony project, you can now create your own installer script and tweak your symfony project installations the way you want.

I hope you will find useful usages for this new feature. If you create great installer scripts, please share them with the community (copy the URL in the comments).

As announced when we released it initially, the support for the 1.1 version of symfony comes to its end - targeted for the end of June 2009.

Nowadays, the only good reason to still use Symfony 1.1 is it's compatibility with PHP 5.1. So if you are using Symfony 1.1 and are running php 5.2.4+, we strongly advice you to upgrade your project to the latest 1.2 version of Symfony as soon as possible. The upgrade process is fully documented, and should be a no-brainer.

For those of you who can't upgrade the PHP version they use in production, e.g. those using and running the latest long-term support RHEL, you will be pleased to know that security-related patches will be applied during one more year to the 1.1 branch. So your existing project running Symfony 1.1 on PHP 5.1 are safe until June 2010.

I love books! And I buy a lot of them. When I was young, I dreamt about writing a book. And thanks to symfony, my dream became true two years ago with the publication of the "Definitive Guide to symfony" book, published by APress. This book was co-authored with François Zaninotto and it covers symfony 1.0. Last year, I wrote yet another book on symfony, "Practical symfony", to cover the new symfony 1.2 version. This book has been a huge success online, and was self-published on lulu.com.

Practical symfony

Today, I'm very proud to announce the immediate availability of the second edition of the "Practical symfony" book. This second edition is the result of all the updates we made since the first edition. We have also added an index to ease finding important information. It is the first book published by Sensio Labs as a publisher and it is available at online bookstores, like Amazon.com:

• Practical symfony 1.2 for Doctrine - second edition
• Practical symfony 1.2 for Propel - second edition

As always, you can also read the book for free online (Propel and Doctrine), and you can even download it as a free PDF (Propel and Doctrine).

Symfony : Mieux développer en PHP avec Symfony 1.2 et Doctrine

Being French, many people asked for a French version of the book, and thanks to Eyrolles, you can now enjoy reading the "Symfony : Mieux développer en PHP avec Symfony 1.2 et Doctrine" book. It is an enhanced version of the English book, with more than 480 pages, and three unpublished appendices about the settings.yml and factories.yml configuration files. The book is of course available in traditional bookstores like la Fnac, but also online on amazon.fr.

As I like free stuff, you can download two chapters for free, and all the appendices:

• Concevoir le modèle de données
• Les tests fonctionnels
• Le format YAML, le fichier de configuration settings.yml, le fichier de configuration factories.yml

The symfony 1.2 Reference Guide

Some time ago, I wrote about yet another book on symfony, a symfony reference guide. The "Pratical symfony" book is a great way for a beginner to learn symfony, understand how it works, and also see best web development practices in action. But when you begin working on your own projects, you need a reference guide. A book where you can easily find answers to your questions at your fingertips. The Symfony 1.2 Reference Guide book aims to provide such a guide. It acts as a complementary book to Practical symfony. This is a book you will keep with you whenever you develop with symfony. This book is the fastest way to find every available configuration thanks to a very detailed table of contents, an index of terms, cross-references inside the chapters, tables, and much more. Here is the table of contents:

• The YAML Format
• Configuration File Principles
• The settings.yml Configuration File
• The factories.yml Configuration File
• The generator.yml Configuration File
• The databases.yml Configuration File
• The security.yml Configuration File
• The cache.yml Configuration File
• The routing.yml Configuration File
• The app.yml Configuration File
• The filters.yml Configuration File
• The view.yml Configuration File
• Other Configuration Files
• Events
• Tasks

Published by Sensio Labs, the "Symfony 1.2 Reference Guide" book will be available sometime later this month as a printed book. To give you the gist of the book, I have made three chapters available for download now as PDF files:

• The settings.yml Configuration File
• The factories.yml Configuration File
• Events

The Guide to Doctrine 1.0

If you follow me on Twitter and use Doctrine as your preferred ORM, you are probably aware that Sensio Labs will also publish a book on Doctrine soon. Written by the Doctrine core team (Jonathan Wage, Konsta Vesterinen, Roman S. Borschel, and Guilherme Blanco), this book will be the definitive guide on Doctrine 1.0.

I hope you will enjoy reading the symfony documentation on paper!

Today, I have published a "Getting Started" tutorial for symfony 1.2.

Why a new Guide?

As of now, the information needed to install symfony were available but they were disseminated in many different places (the installation page, the Jobeet tutorial, the old symfony book). But the main problem was that the best way to install symfony was not the easiest piece of information to find.

This new tutorial aims to become the definitive place to find all information related to the symfony installation process. It describes in great details everything you need to know to install symfony correctly. The goal is to also provide a single resource for people wanting to try out the framework and avoid discouraging them with a bad installation experience.

I have also rewritten the 1.2 installation page with a link to this new tutorial and cleaned up the information it gives to avoid redundant information. The same goes for the main symfony homepage.

What's Next?

As this guide is mainly for newcomers, I really think everybody following this blog has something to say about it. I am for instance thinking about writing a troubleshooting section at the end of the tutorial to describe the common problems that can arise and their solutions. Feel free to send me an email about your idea, or discuss them in the comments.

Some time ago, I have introduced the new "Symfony Components" project. It is a sub-project of Symfony that aims to give more importance to some of the great libraries we have developed for Symfony. Until now, the only evidence of their existence was the dedicated Subversion repository, and the Git mirror. The following components have already been released: YAML, Dependency Injection, and Event Dispatcher. And more will come soon.

Today, I am happy to announce that the Symfony Components now have their dedicated website.

Each component has its own section with its documentation, API, instructions to install and use it, and how to contribute back. For now, we have worked on the YAML website as an example, but we are also already working on the next ones. Expect most of them to be available for the Symfony Live conference.

Life is too short to be serious. So, we decided that the component website should be a bit more fun than the symfony website. That's why each component has its own animal, representing the component.

We are very excited about the Symfony Component project, and we hope you will find new ways of using these standalone libraries outside your symfony projects.
