Symfony has a ton of documentation available online. The only problem is, with so many different versions (1.0 – 1.4) in the wild, it can be hard to locate exactly the right resource when you need it. Below is a simple and straightforward list of the most useful documentation:

Two good friends of mine just launched a new site dedicated to providing professional help to symfony developers.
The site is very well designed and will prove to be a valuable resource for developers of all skill levels — experts can make some extra money sharing their expertise, and beginners (or experts encountering a new problem) can get quick and succinct answers to their questions.

October 9, 2009 – 5:29pm Symfony 1.3 Published Book…. Already?
I just received a review copy of a new book published by Packt Publishing called “Symfony 1.3 Web Application Development“, available online. The book is written by Tim Bowler and Wojciech Bancer over at the UK based Agile Labs. It’s amazing that a book has been published for this new version of symfony even before the 1.3.0ALPHA1 was released.
The book covers all of the basics, including the forms framework and the admin generator. The code examples use Propel rather than Doctrine. I’m looking forward to seeing how in depth they go into the forms framework; to me it seems to be the most confusing aspect about symfony overall.
October 4, 2009 – 1:19am Symfony, Doctrine Upload File “validation failed”
After setting up a simple file upload using the symfony 1.2 forms class and a doctrine model, I hit this error right away:
500 | Internal Server Error | Doctrine_Validator_Exception 1 field had validation error: * 1 validator failed on file (type) |
The short solution: when using a doctrine form class and $form->save(), set the path option in your sfValidatorFile validator and do not attempt to save/set the file column yourself. If you are curious why this is, continue reading. More…

Good point.
Zawinski didn’t do many unit tests. They “sound great in principle. Given a leisurely development pace, that’s certainly the way to go. But when you’re looking at, ‘We’ve got to go from zero to done in six weeks,’ well, I can’t do that unless I cut something out. And what I’m going to cut out is the stuff that’s not absolutely critical. And unit tests are not critical. If there’s no unit test the customer isn’t going to complain about that.”
