Last week the second incarnation of Symfony Live came to an end and I just had the time to check a couple of shared slides from the event.
Definitely interesting stuff going on there, especially the preview release of Symfony 2.0 whose code is available on GitHub since a couple of ...

...and especially not if you get the impression that the dump will afterwards be readable by the doctrine:data-load command of symfony.
It was a costly lesson today when I tried to reimport a dump of a couple of Sympal tables. One of them, the one which models the menu items, has ...

Imagine you have a business method in your model which needs to be accessed by two environments: once from a symfony task and once from the web. So far so good, now what if this business method should be able to log contents somewhere visibly, in case of the command ...

My latest Symfony project uses Doctrine as ORM, which is considered to be a lot better than Propel by many people...

If you have trouble with NetworkManager overwriting your search and domain configuration after every startup and you're using DHCP, add the following line to your /etc/dhclient.conf:
append domain-name " company.local other.company.local";

domain company.local
search company.local ...

The following error on my current project at work really gave me lots of headaches today:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries
while other unbuffered queries are active. Consider using
PDOStatement::fetchAll().
Alternatively, if your code is only ever going to run against

PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute.

If you get this error ssl_error_rx_record_too_long when browsing an SSL-secured virtual host and wonder what the heck is going on (hey, it worked the day before), ensure that you've noticed that your admins have changed the IP address of the machine and that you have to adapt the IP-based VHost ...

I encountered a small, but ugly problem in our Symfony-driven project today: Unauthenticated AJAX requests, which f.e. may happen when the session timed out on the server, but the user hasn't reloaded the page in the meantime, are also forwarded to the globally defined login module / action.

I finally got sick of my SuSE 9.3 V-Server when a good friend of mine pointed me to this really fancy and sexy IMAP web frontend called RoundCube last week. Written entirely in PHP 5 there was no real chance that I could get this easily working on my oldish ...
