Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1
=======================
This document describes the changes made in symfony 1.1 and what need
to be done to upgrade your symfony 1.0 projects.
WARNING: symfony 1.1 is only compatible with PHP > 5.1.
How to upgrade?
---------------
To upgrade a project:
* If you don't use a SCM tool, please make a backup of your project.
As symfony replaces some files during the upgrade
(front controllers for example), you need a way to merge your
customizations after the upgrade.
* Update the `symfony` file located in the project root directory
by changing those three lines:
[php]
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));
include('config/config.php');
include($sf_symfony_data_dir.'/bin/symfony.php');
to
[php]
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = new ProjectConfiguration();
include($configuration->getSymfonyLibDir().'/command/cli.php');
You can also copy the skeleton file from the symfony project skeleton directly:
$ cp /path/to/symfony/lib/task/generator/skeleton/project/symfony symfony
* Create a `config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` file with the following content:
[php]
<?php
require_once '##SYMFONY_LIB_DIR##/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php';
sfCoreAutoload::register();
class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
{
public function setup()
{
}
}
Then, replace `##SYMFONY_LIB_DIR##` with the path to the symfony 1.1
`lib/` directory. This is the new way to change the symfony version used
for your project.
You can also copy the skeleton file from the symfony project skeleton directly:
$ cp /path/to/symfony/lib/task/generator/skeleton/project/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php
* Launch the `project:upgrade1.1` task from your project directory
to perform an automatic upgrade:
$ ./symfony project:upgrade1.1
This task can be launched several times without any side effect. Each time
you upgrade to a new symfony 1.1 beta / RC or the final symfony 1.1, you
need to launch this task.
* If you don't plan to upgrade the validation or mailing system to
the new system, you must enable the compatibility mode in `settings.yml`:
[yml]
all:
.settings:
compat_10: on
Here is a list of the things that will be enabled when switching to the
compatibility mode (see the bundled `sfCompat10Plugin` plugin for
more information):
* Zend Framework and ezComponents bridges
* sfProcessCache
* validation system (validate.yml, validator classes, ...)
* fill in filter
* sfMail with phpmailer
The remaining sections explains backward incompatible changes.
Batch scripts
-------------
The use of batch scripts is deprecated, in favor of custom CLI tasks. The new CLI system makes it easy to add a new symfony command to a project, so refer to the Chapter 16 of the symfony book for a detailed how-to on CLI tasks.
If you just want your old batch scripts to work, you need to change the first lines of the every batch scripts--the lines that look like a front controller's initialization. So change the following:
[php]
<?php
define('SF_ROOT_DIR', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/..'));
define('SF_APP', 'frontend');
define('SF_ENVIRONMENT', 'prod');
define('SF_DEBUG', false);
require_once(SF_ROOT_DIR.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'apps'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.SF_APP.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'config'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'config.php');
// your batch code here
To:
[php]
<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration('frontend', 'prod', false);
sfContext::createInstance($configuration);
// your batch code here
If you need to initialize the database connection, just add the following lines:
[php]
$databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager($configuration);
$databaseManager->loadConfiguration();
Flash attributes
----------------
Flash attributes are now managed directly by `sfUser`. New usage:
[php]
// action
$this->getUser()->setFlash('notice', 'foo');
$notice = $this->getUser()->getFlash('notice');
// template
<?php $sf_user->hasFlash('notice'): ?>
<?php echo $sf_user->getFlash('notice') ?>
<?php endif; ?>
The `flash` entry in `filters.yml` must be removed too as the `sfFlashFilter`
was removed.
The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you.
Deprecated methods in sfComponent
---------------------------------
The following methods of `sfComponent` have been removed:
* `->getPresentationFor()`
* `->sendEmail()`
They are accessible from `sfController`:
[php]
// action
$this->getController()->getPresentationFor(...);
The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you.
Singletons
----------
The sfI18N, sfRouting, and sfLogger objects are now factories and
not singletons.
If you want to get one of those objects in your code, they are
available from `sfContext`:
[php]
sfContext::getInstance()->getI18N()
sfContext::getInstance()->getRouting()
sfContext::getInstance()->getLogger()
### Routing
Here is the default configuration for the routing in `factories.yml`:
[yml]
routing:
class: sfPatternRouting
param:
load_configuration: true
The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all the changes for you.
### Logging
Here is the default configuration for logging in `factories.yml`:
[yml]
logger:
class: sfAggregateLogger
param:
level: debug
loggers:
sf_web_debug:
class: sfWebDebugLogger
param:
level: debug
condition: %SF_WEB_DEBUG%
xdebug_logging: true
sf_file_debug:
class: sfFileLogger
param:
level: debug
file: %SF_LOG_DIR%/%SF_APP%_%SF_ENVIRONMENT%.log
The `logging.yml` configuration file is not used anymore.
Instead, you can configure logging in `factories.yml`.
To disable logging in the production environment, you will have to change
your application `factories.yml`:
[yml]
prod:
logger:
class: sfNoLogger
param:
level: err
loggers: ~
There is also a new `logging_enabled` setting in `settings.yml`.
This can be used to prevent logging in the production environment altogether:
[yml]
prod:
.settings:
logging_enabled: off
The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you.
### i18n
Here is the default configuration for i18n in `factories.yml`:
[yml]
i18n:
class: sfI18N
param:
source: XLIFF
debug: off
untranslated_prefix: "[T]"
untranslated_suffix: "[/T]"
cache:
class: sfFileCache
param:
automatic_cleaning_factor: 0
cache_dir: %SF_I18N_CACHE_DIR%
lifetime: 86400
prefix: %SF_APP_DIR%
The `i18n.yml` configuration file is not used anymore.
Instead, you can configure i18n in `factories.yml`.
The only exception is the `default_culture` setting which is now configurable
in `settings.yml` and do not depend on the i18n framework anymore:
default_culture: en
If your project has some specific settings, you must move your current
configuration from the `i18n.yml` to the `factories.yml` and add the default
culture in `settings.yml` as shown above.
Cache Framework
---------------
The `sfFunctionCache` class does not extend `sfFileCache` anymore.
You must now pass a cache object to the constructor.
The first argument to ->call() must now be a PHP callable.
Some `sfCache` configuration parameter have changed their named to underscore names:
* automaticCleaningFactor -> automatic_cleaning_factor
* cacheDir -> cache_dir
The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you.
Autoloading
-----------
The `autoloading_function` setting in `settings.yml` is not used anymore.
You can register autoloading callables in your application configuration class.
Thanks to the new `sfAutoload::autoloadAgain()` method, you won't need to clear
the cache when you add or move classes in your project. This method will
automatically find the changes and flush the autoloading cache.
VERSION
-------
The lib/VERSION file has been removed. If you want to get the current symfony
version, you can use the `SYMFONY_VERSION` constant. This constant is defined
in `autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php`
Routing
-------
To inject default route parameters, you can now use the `->setDefaultParameter()`
method instead of using the `sf_routing_defaults` setting:
[php]
$this->context->getRouting()->setDefaultParameter($key, $value);
I18N
----
symfony core classes don't return internationalized strings anymore:
[php]
<?php echo __($sf_request->getError('foo')) ?>
This behavior has changed for the following methods and functions:
[php]
sfWebRequest::getError()
sfWebResponse::addMeta()
The following helpers (in sfCompat10Plugin) still return internationalized data:
[php]
form_error()
include_metas()
The `getGlobalMessageSource()` and `getGlobalMessageFormat()` methods has been
removed from the sfI18N class. They are now equivalent to `getMessageSource()`
and `getMessageFormat()`.
Logger
------
Logger priorities are now constants:
[php]
sfLogger::INFO
The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you.
Deprecated methods in sfAction
------------------------------
The following methods of `sfAction` have been deprecated and throw
a `sfConfigurationException` if `sf_compat_10` is set to `false`:
* `->validate()`
* `->handleError()`
Deprecated methods in sfRequest
-------------------------------
The following methods of `sfRequest` have been deprecated and throw
a `sfConfigurationException` if `sf_compat_10` is set to `false`:
* `->getError()`
* `->getErrors()`
* `->getErrorNames()`
* `->hasError()`
* `->hasErrors()`
* `->setError()`
* `->setErrors()`
* `->removeError()`
Deprecated methods in sfWebRequest
----------------------------------
The following methods of `sfWebRequest` have been deprecated and throw
a `sfConfigurationException` if `sf_compat_10` is set to `false`:
* `->getFile()`
* `->getFileError()`
* `->getFileName()`
* `->getFileNames()`
* `->getFilePath()`
* `->getFileSize()`
* `->getFileType()`
* `->hasFile()`
* `->hasFileError()`
* `->hasFileErrors()`
* `->hasFiles()`
* `->getFileValue()`
* `->getFileValues()`
* `->getFileExtension()`
* `->moveFile()`
`->initialize()` methods
------------------------
Most symfony core classes are initialized thanks to a `->initialize()` method.
As of symfony 1.1, this method is automatically called by `__construct()`,
so, there is no need to call it by yourself.
Configuration files loading
---------------------------
Some core classes can be configured with a `.yml` file:
*Class* | *Configuration file*
-------------------- | --------------------------------
`sfAction` | `security.yml`
`sfAutoload` | `autoload.yml`
`sfConfigCache` | `config_handlers.yml`
`sfContext` | `factories.yml`
`sfController` | `generator.yml` and `module.yml`
`sfDatabaseManager` | `databases.yml`
`sfFilterChain` | `filters.yml`
`sfI18N` | `i18n.yml`
`sfPatternRouting` | `routing.yml`
`sfPHPView` | `view.yml`
`sfViewCacheManager` | `cache.yml`
In symfony 1.1, the loading of the configuration file for ''independant''
sub-frameworks has been moved to a `loadConfiguration()` method to ease
decoupling and reuse them without needing the whole framework:
* `sfDatabaseManager`
* `sfI18N`
* `sfPatternRouting`
So, for example, if you need a database manager in your batch script,
you will have to change from:
[php]
$databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager();
$databaseManager->initialize();
to:
[php]
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration($application, $env, true);
$databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager($configuration);
$databaseManager->loadConfiguration();
The `initialize()` call is not needed anymore (see the point above).
Web Debug
---------
The `web_debug` entry in `filters.yml` must be removed as the `sfWebDebugFilter`
has been removed. The web debug toolbar is now injected in the response thanks
to a listener.
The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you.
Session timeout
---------------
The `sf_timeout` setting is not used anymore. To change the session timeout,
you now have to edit `factories.yml` instead of the `settings.yml`,
and change the parameters of the `user` factory:
[yml]
all:
user:
class: myUser
param:
timeout: 1800 # session timeout in seconds
Routing configuration
---------------------
The `sf_suffix`, `sf_default_module`, and `sf_default_action` settings are not
used anymore. To change the default suffix, module, or action, you now have
to edit `factories.yml` instead of `settings.yml`, and change the parameters
of the `routing` factory:
[yml]
all:
routing:
class: sfPatternRouting
param:
load_configuration: true
suffix: . # Default suffix for generated URLs. If set to a single dot (.), no suffix is added. Possible values: .html, .php, and so on.
default_module: default # Default module and action to be called when
default_action: index # A routing rule doesn't set it
`php.yml` configuration file
----------------------------
The `php.yml` configuration file has been removed.
The only setting you will have to check by hand is `log_errors`, which was set
to `on` by `php.yml`.
`php.yml` is replaced by the `check_configuration.php` utility you can find
in `data/bin`. It checks your environment against symfony requirements.
You can launch it from anywhere:
$ php /path/to/symfony/data/bin/check_configuration.php
Even if you can use this utility from the command line, it's strongly recommended
to launch it from the web by copying it under your web root directory as PHP can
use different php.ini configuration files for the CLI and the web.
`$sf_symfony_data_dir` removal
------------------------------
In symfony 1.1, `$sf_symfony_data_dir` has been removed. All relevant files and
directories from the symfony `data` directory have been moved to the `lib`
directory:
*Old Location* | *New Location*
---------------------- | -----------------------------
`data/config` | `lib/config/config`
`data/i18n` | `lib/i18n/data`
`data/skeleton` | `lib/task/generator/skeleton`
`data/modules/default` | `lib/controller/default`
`data/web/errors` | `lib/exception/data`
`data/exception.*` | `lib/exception/data`
The symfony core has been upgraded to take these changes into account.
sfLoader
--------
All `sfLoader` static methods (except `::getHelperDirs()` and `::loadHelpers()`)
have been moved to the `sfProjectConfiguration` and `sfApplicationConfiguration`
classes:
* `sfProjectConfiguration`:
* `->getGeneratorSkeletonDirs()`
* `->getGeneratorTemplate()`
* `->getGeneratorTemplateDirs()`
* `->getModelDirs()`
* `sfApplicationConfiguration`:
* `->getControllerDirs()`
* `->getTemplateDirs()`
* `->getTemplateDir()`
* `->getTemplatePath()`
* `->getI18NGlobalDirs()`
* `->getI18NDirs()`
* `->getConfigPaths()`
sfCore
------
The `sfCore` has been removed. The code has been moved to `sfProjectConfiguration`,
`sfApplicationConfiguration`, and `sfContext` classes.
Front Controllers
-----------------
All front controllers have to be upgraded. The SF_DEBUG, SF_APP, SF_ENVIRONMENT,
and SF_ROOT_DIR constants are gone. If you use some of these constants in your
project, please use their sfConfig::get('') counterparts:
*Old* | *New*
----------------- | ---------------------------------
`SF_ROOT_DIR` | `sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir')`
`SF_ENVIRONMENT` | `sfConfig::get('sf_environment')`
`SF_APP` | `sfConfig::get('sf_app')`
`SF_DEBUG` | `sfConfig::get('sf_debug')`
The `project:upgrade1.1` task upgrades all front controllers for you.
If you made some customizations, symfony will issue a warning and won't
upgrade them automatically. You can then copy the default skeleton from
symfony: /path/to/symfony/lib/task/generator/skeleton/app/web/index.php
config.php
----------
All `config.php` files have been removed. The are replaced by the `ProjectConfiguration`
class and the application configuration classes.
If you've added some cutomizations in `config.php` files, you will have to migrate them
to those new classes.
Directory structure
-------------------
All `sfConfig` constants ending with `_dir_name` have been removed.
Cache keys
----------
The `sfViewCacheManager::removePattern()` and `sfToolkit::clearGlob()` don't work anymore
for removing several cache parts at once. But the `sfViewCacheManager::remove()` now
accepts internal URIs with wildcards. So you can replace:
$cacheManager->removePattern('*/all/user/show/id/*');
By:
$cacheManager->remove('user/show?id=*', '*', 'all');
This also works for partials and contextual partials. You can then replace:
$cacheManager->removePattern('/sf_cache_partial/user/_my_partial/sf_cache_key/*');
By:
$cacheManager->remove('@sf_cache_partial?module=user&action=_my_partial&sf_cache_key=*');
And the biggets benefit is that it allows you to clear 'glob' URIs in *any* cache
factory, not only the `sfFileCache`.
Layout
------
The action template variables are not available anymore in the layout. This means that the layout
only has access to **global** variables (all `sf_` variables) and variables registered via the
`template.filter_parameters` event.
Refer to this wiki page for more information on how to upgrade:
http://trac.symfony-project.com/wiki/Symfony11LayoutUpgrade
Tasks
-----
The symfony command line task names have changed. They now use a namespace syntax. The old task names still work--they are just aliases for the new task names. Here is a table showing the name changes:
Old task name | New task name
------------------------- | ----------------
clear-cache | cache:clear
clear-controllers | project:clear-controllers
disable | project:disable
downgrade | [Not implemented]
enable | project:enable
fix-perms | project:permissions
freeze | project:freeze
init-app | generate:app
init-batch | [Not implemented]
init-controller | [Not implemented]
init-module | generate:module
init-project | generate:project
log-purge | log:clear
log-rotate | log:rotate
plugin-install | plugin:install

As before, if you want to list the available tasks, just call the `symfony` command with no argument:
> php symfony
NOTE to early adopters
----------------------
If you have upgraded your project and have a `lib/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` file,
then you need to upgrade your project manually before being able to launch the
`project:upgrade1.1` task.
Here is how:
* Move `lib/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` to `config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php`
* Change the path to symfony in `config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` if needed.
* Move all your application configuration classes (`lib/$APP_NAME$Configuration.class.php`)
to their respective `apps/$APP_NAME$/config/` directory.
* Remove the `require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/ProjectConfiguration.class.php';` in all
the application configuration classes.
* Change the location of `ProjectConfiguration.class.php` in the main `symfony` script to `config/`
* Change your front controllers so they look like this:
[php]
<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration('frontend', 'dev', true);
sfContext::createInstance($configuration)->dispatch();
You can now launch the `project:upgrade1.1` script to finish the upgrade.
