Symfony - open source PHP5 web framework

January 21st, 2006 | PHP

Symfony is a great PHP5 framework for web applications. After Ruby on Rails shook the web developers, a lot of web frameworks with AJAX support started appearing. There are a few in PHP as well.

The feature list says:
* simple templating and helpers
* cache management
* smart URLs
* scaffolding
* multilinguism and I18N support
* object model and MVC separation
* Ajax support
* enterprise ready

The Symfony project website is also a place where they documented the development of Askeet - a full blown live web app done in 24 days with Symfony.

If you are a PHP developer, try it out!
