Symfony in short

Symfony is a framework with the open code written completely on PHP5. This framework allows creating more structural readable code and simplifies programming if for no other reason than the set of complicated operations can often be replaced with one line of the code.   

Symfony is based on the idea of MVC pattern and is developed for rapid web application development. The framework includes numerous tools and sets of classes whose main aim is to reduce the time for developing complex web applications. Also symfony automates the most popular and often used tasks, which allows web developers pay more attention to the peculiarities of the certain project.

The framework has been used a lot in many projects, for example, Yahoo! Bookmarks. Symfony is compatible with many databases (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server).
