Recently I have been experimenting with the Zend Framework to look into it’s potential to be used in my future applications. Having been a symfony junkie for the last couple of years I was reluctant to try and use it, but I see that it has come a long way since last using it. I’m […]
Awhile ago I wrote a post on how to create custom tasks in symfony 1.0. A reader posted a question on how to do this in symfony 1.1. At first I figured out a solution of how to do it manually, but then I discovered this tutorial on the symfony cookbook section: http://www.symfony-project.org/cookbook/1_1/en/tasks which describes […]
Previously, I wrote a post on how to store user sessions in a database using Doctrine. I figured that I would follow it up by writing this article to demonstrate how to do the same thing using Propel. The steps are pretty much similar, but with some slight variations.
Step1 - Create your sessions table

Step1 - Create your sessions table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `sessions` (
`sess_id` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`sess_data` text NOT […]
At some point you may need to have your symfony do some sort of process through the command line and trigger it through a cron job. I’ll will walk you through the steps in order to get it working properly.
Have you ever needed to log your own information to a specific log file in symfony? Sure, the built in logging is very useful, but sometimes you just need to log some specific information to a file of your choice and don’t need a full stack trace. Today I needed to be able to do […]
As users of symfony know, there are many useful command line tasks that are essential to developing your symfony projects (symfony cc, symfony propel-build-model, etc). Luckily symfony is set up so that you can easily create your own tasks to do specific things that you may need. The only problem that some people may have […]
There comes a time in your symfony development career when you will need to connect to multiple databases from within one application. At first it may not be obvious how to configure symfony correctly to handle a couple different databases or database servers.
