It was giving me a bunch of errors related to indexes in the database tables and wasn't performing migrations correctly. In the beginning I thought it is me doing something wrong but after several approaches I've came to conclusion that this time I'm not a reason. <!-- 0noreply@blogger.com (drako)http://devfactor.blogspot.com/2010/11/making-business-portal-case-study.htmlcase studyDiemMVCphpportalSymfonyMon, 22 Nov 2010 12:06:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162290550144402438.post-1622092863304921124I'm currently working on business portal which is to include some community building features.

For the sake of easy understanding I'll keep the example simple but of course in reality it'd be much more complex. This example is based on a real implementation. So lets say we have two tables: user and user_detail looking like that: User: columns: id: first_name: last_name: 7noreply@blogger.com (drako)http://devfactor.blogspot.com/2010/08/symfony-and-mvc-follow-up.htmlData Access LayerMVCORMphpSymfonyWed, 25 Aug 2010 08:45:00 -0700tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162290550144402438.post-5498478191696229530My previous post caused a little bit of confusion so I decided to write this short follow up before I find some more time to provide you with an example explaining my approach.

True. It provides all you need to build MVC applications. True. Symfony users build MVC applications. Unfortunately - usually not true. And I think it's mostly symfony's team fault. I'll explain it later in this post. MVC stands for Model-View-Controller. Those are three layers that code consists of.

If it is some closed system you will probably want to restrict some groups of users from accessing one o the applications (ie. client didn't buy that feature so his users shouldn't use it).
