What is Symfony?

Symfony is a PHP 5.3 full-stack web framework. It is written with speed and flexibility in mind. It allows developers to build better and easy to maintain websites with PHP.

Symfony can be used to develop all kind of websites, from your personal blog to high traffic ones like Dailymotion or Yahoo! Answers.

Requirements

Symfony is only supported on PHP 5.3.9 and up.

Be warned that PHP 5.3.16 has a major bug in the Reflection subsystem and is not suitable to run Symfony (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62715)

Installation

The best way to install Symfony is to use the official Symfony Installer. It allows you to start a new project based on the version you want.
