A little help using Symfony

Question

Can anyone link me to some Symfony resources, they are hard to find. I am having a little trouble understanding how to use it correctly. Like with CodeIgniter to use the security helper you would load it doing this:

$this->load->helper('security');

And you would use its functions you would do something like this:

$data = $this->input->xss_clean($data);

But with Smyfony to redirect someone to a 404 page, you need to use the sfAction class and the redirect404() api. So could anyone explain or link me a good tutorial?

Answer 1

I would highly recommend you set aside a few hours and read through the Practical Symfony tutorial. It goes through all the basics from project start to end.

Symfony, although a great framework, has a steep learning curve. This tutorial really helps you understand how it works, from the basics to more advanced stuff.
