This document provides an overview of Symfony2, a PHP framework that includes reusable components and libraries, configuration, and an MVC architecture. It discusses installing Symfony2, creating an application bundle, defining a data model with Doctrine ORM, loading initial data with fixtures, adding routing and templates, and testing applications. The document also mentions additional Symfony bundles that can provide useful features like user management, administration interfaces, and pagination.

![3rd step The Data Model
Edit the parameters file
;app/config/parameters.ini
[parameters]
database_driver = pdo_mysql
database_host = localhost
database_name = jobeet
database_user = root
database_password = password
Use doctrine in command line to auto-create the database in mysql:
php app/console doctrine:database:create](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/symfony-130107094651-phpapp01/85/Symfony2-Introduction-Presentation-12-320.jpg)
![4th step Initial Data
• We will use DoctrineFixturesBundle.
• Add the following to your deps file:
[doctrine-fixtures]
git=http://github.com/doctrine/data-fixtures.git
[DoctrineFixturesBundle]
git=http://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle.git
target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/DoctrineFixturesBundle
version=origin/2.0
• Update the vendor libraries:
php bin/vendors install --reinstall](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/symfony-130107094651-phpapp01/85/Symfony2-Introduction-Presentation-16-320.jpg)
Symfony2 Introduction Presentation
- 1. Symfony2 Tutorial By Alexios Tzanetopoulos
- 2. What is Symfony2? • Symfony2 is a PHP Framework that: 1. Provides a selection of components (i.e. the Symfony2 Components) and third-party libraries (e.g. Swiftmailer18 for sending emails); 2. Provides sensible configuration and a "glue" library that ties all of these pieces together. 3. Provides the feeling of objective programming cause it’s a MVC Framework.
- 3. What is MVC? • MVC is a software architecture that separates the representation of information from the user's interaction with it. It consists of: • A controller can send commands to its associated view to change the view's presentation of the model (e.g., by scrolling through a document). • A model notifies its associated views and controllers when there has been a change in its state. This notification allows the views to produce updated output, and the controllers to change the available set of commands. • A view requests from the model the information that it needs to generate an output representation.
- 4. Pros • It allows a lot of flexibility around how the project is setup. • It is very fast and comparable to other web frameworks • Propel and Doctrine are both supported but not enforced. The creator can choose to use whatever they want as an ORM(Object- relational mapping). Or none at all. • Some of the Symfony2 components are now being implemented in large projects such as Drupal and PhpBB. • Enough documentation and tutorials
- 5. Cons • Requires command line (troll) • Not easy to learn
- 6. Flat PHP (blog posts page) • <?php // index.php • $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'myuser', 'mypassword'); • mysql_select_db('blog_db', $link); • $result = mysql_query('SELECT id, title FROM post', $link); ?> • <!DOCTYPE html> • <html><head> • <title>List of Posts</title> </head> <body> • <h1>List of Posts</h1> <ul> • <?php while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)): ?> • <li> • <a href="/show.php?id=<?php echo $row['id'] ?>"> • <?php echo $row['title'] ?> </a> • </li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> </body> </html> • <?php mysql_close($link); ?>
- 7. Result? • No error-checking • Poor organization • Difficult to reuse code
- 9. 1st step Installation • Download from http://symfony.com/download (standard version) • If you use php 5,4 it contains built-in web server • From 5,3 and below use your own web server (e.g xampp) • Unpack folder in htdocs • Test it @ http://localhost/symfony2/web/app_dev.php
- 11. 2nd step Create application bundle • As you know, a Symfony2 project is made up of bundles. • Execute in command line: php app/console generate:bundle --namespace=Ens/JobeetBundle -- format=yml • Clear cache then: php app/console cache:clear --env=prod php app/console cache:clear --env=dev
- 12. 3rd step The Data Model Edit the parameters file ;app/config/parameters.ini [parameters] database_driver = pdo_mysql database_host = localhost database_name = jobeet database_user = root database_password = password Use doctrine in command line to auto-create the database in mysql: php app/console doctrine:database:create
- 13. 3rd step The Data Model # src/Ens/JobeetBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/CategoryAffiliate.orm.yml EnsJobeetBundleEntityCategoryAffiliate: type: entity table: category_affiliate id: id: type: integer generator: { strategy: AUTO } manyToOne: category: targetEntity: Category inversedBy: category_affiliates joinColumn: name: category_id referencedColumnName: id affiliate: targetEntity: Affiliate inversedBy: category_affiliates joinColumn: name: affiliate_id referencedColumnName: id
- 14. 3rd step The ORM • Now Doctrine can generate the classes that define our objects for us with the command: php app/console doctrine:generate:entities EnsJobeetBundle /** • * Get location • * • * @return string • */ • public function getLocation() • { • return $this->location; • }
- 15. 3rd step The ORM We will also ask Doctrine to create our database tables (or to update them to reflect our setup) with the command: php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force Updating database schema... Database schema updated successfully! "7" queries were executed
- 16. 4th step Initial Data • We will use DoctrineFixturesBundle. • Add the following to your deps file: [doctrine-fixtures] git=http://github.com/doctrine/data-fixtures.git [DoctrineFixturesBundle] git=http://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle.git target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/DoctrineFixturesBundle version=origin/2.0 • Update the vendor libraries: php bin/vendors install --reinstall
- 18. 4th step Load data in tables • To do this just execute this command: php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load • See it in Action in the Browser • create a new controller with actions for listing, creating, editing and deleting jobs executing this command: php app/console doctrine:generate:crud --entity=EnsJobeetBundle:Job --route-prefix=ens_job -- with-write --format=yml
- 21. Till now? • Barely written PHP code • Working web module for the job model • Ready to be tweaked and customized Remember, no PHP code also means no bugs!
- 22. 5th step The Layout • Create a new file layout.html.twig in the src/Ens/JobeetBundle/Resources/views/ directory and put in the following code:
- 24. 5th step The Layout Tell Symfony to make them available to the public. php app/console assets:install web
- 26. 5th step The Routing • Used to be: /job.php?id=1 • Now with symfony2: /job/1/show • Even: /job/sensio-labs/paris-france/1/web-developer
- 27. 5th step The Routing • Edit the ens_job_show route from the job.yml file: # src/Ens/JobeetBundle/Resources/config/routing/job.yml # ... ens_job_show: pattern: /{company}/{location}/{id}/{position} defaults: { _controller: "EnsJobeetBundle:Job:show" }
- 28. 5th step The Routing • Now, we need to pass all the parameters for the changed route for it to work: <!-- src/Ens/JobeetBundle/Resources/views/Job/index.html.twig --> <!-- ... --> <a href="{{ path('ens_job_show', { 'id': entity.id, 'company': entity.company, 'location': entity.location, 'position': entity.position }) }}"> {{ entity.position }} </a> <!-- ... -->
- 29. 5th step The Routing • NOW: http://jobeet.local/job/Sensio Labs/Paris, France/1/Web Developer • Need to remove spaces • This corrects the problem: static public function slugify($text) { // replace all non letters or digits by - $text = preg_replace('/W+/', '-', $text); // trim and lowercase $text = strtolower(trim($text, '-')); return $text; }
- 30. 5th step Route Debugging • See every route in your application: php app/console router:debug • Or a single route: php app/console router:debug ens_job_show
- 32. 6th step Testing • 2 methods: Unit tests and Functional tests • Unit tests verify that each method and function is working properly • Functional tests verify that the resulting application behaves correctly as a whole
- 33. 7th and last step Bundles • Bundles are like modules in Drupal. • Even symfony2 is a bundle itself. • Many useful bundles such as -FOSUserBundle (Provides user management for your Symfony2 Project. Compatible with Doctrine ORM & ODM, and Propel) -SonataAdminBundle (AdminBundle - The missing Symfony2 Admin Generator) -FOSFacebookBundle (Integrate the Facebook Platform into your Symfony2 application) -KnpPaginatorBundle (SEO friendly Symfony2 paginator to sort and paginate)
