symfony is a set of cohesive but decoupled classes

symfony platform

http://localhost/index.php!

http://localhost/index.php?name=Fabien!

Hello Fabien

Hello World

http://localhost/hello /Fabien!

Hello Fabien

http://localhost/index.php?name=Fabien!

http://localhost/index.php/hello /Fabien!

sfEventDispatcher // sfPatternRouting!$callback = array($this, ’filterParameters‘);!

$dispatcher->connect(’request.filter_parameters‘, $callback);!

// sfWebRequest!$event = new sfEvent($this, ‘request.filter_parameters’);!

$dispatcher->filter($event, $parameters);!

•  sfPatternRouting and sfWebRequest are decoupled •  « Anybody » can listen to any event •  You can notify existing events or create new ones

Some events application.log application.throw_exception context.load_factories request.filter_parameters user.change_culture controller.page_not_found response.filter_content view.cache.filter_content *.method_not_found
