Two Random Strangeness with Symfony

Folder Structure

Okay, I’ll look past the Action/Modules/Template garbage (why didn’t they just leave it Controller/Model/View). But what is the deal with all these folders? Someone please tell me why I have to traverse through this to get to the action.

projectname/apps/appname/modules/modulename/actions/

Things are kinda similar to Rails, but… things are just enough to be a little bit annoying at the beginning.

http://yoursite.com/asdf_dev.php/action/module

What a strange routing scheme. It’s true, though, that the _dev.php makes the application run in the development environment (which is really well done), but a .php file before the folders… It just looks so weird.

Okay, that’s all for now. I’m sure I’ll have more as I dive deeper into one of the best and most popular PHP framework. I definitely need to buff up my PHP skills in the coming days to properly be ready for the code maintenance I’ll be doing at work.
