Symfony Standard Edition Upgrade

From Symfony 2.0 to Symfony 2.1

Project Dependencies

As of Symfony 2.1, project dependencies are managed by Composer:

• The bin/vendors script can be removed as composer.phar does all the work now (it is recommended to install it globally on your machine).

• The deps file need to be replaced with the composer.json one.

• The composer.lock is the equivalent of the generated deps.lock file and it is automatically generated by Composer.

Download the default composer.json and composer.lock files for Symfony 2.1 and put them into the main directory of your project. If you have customized your deps file, move the added dependencies to the composer.json file (many bundles and PHP libraries are already available as Composer packages -- search for them on Packagist).

Remove your current vendor directory.

Finally, run Composer:

$ composer.phar install

Note: You must complete the upgrade steps below so composer can successfully generate the autoload files.

app/autoload.php

The default autoload.php reads as follows (it has been simplified a lot as autoloading for libraries and bundles declared in your composer.json file is automatically managed by the Composer autoloader):

<?php

use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry;

$loader = include __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

// intl
if (!function_exists('intl_get_error_code')) {
    require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Locale/Resources/stubs/functions.php';

    $loader->add('', __DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Locale/Resources/stubs');
}

AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(array($loader, 'loadClass'));

return $loader;

app/config/config.yml

The framework.charset setting must be removed. If you are not using UTF-8 for your application, override the getCharset() method in your AppKernel class instead:

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function getCharset()
    {
        return 'ISO-8859-1';
    }

    // ...
}

You might want to add the new strict_requirements parameter to framework.router (it avoids fatal errors in the production environment when a link cannot be generated):

framework:
    router:
        strict_requirements: "%kernel.debug%"

You can even disable the requirements check on production with null as you should know that the parameters for URL generation always pass the requirements, e.g. by validating them beforehand. This additionally enhances performance. See config_prod.yml.

The default_locale parameter is now a setting of the main framework configuration (it was under the framework.session in 2.0):

framework:
    default_locale: "%locale%"

The auto_start setting under framework.session must be removed as it is not used anymore (the session is now always started on-demand). If auto_start was the only setting under the framework.session entry, don't remove it entirely, but set its value to ~ (~ means null in YAML) instead:

framework:
    session: ~

The trust_proxy_headers setting was added in the default configuration file (as it should be set to true when you install your application behind a reverse proxy):

framework:
    trust_proxy_headers: false

An empty bundles entry was added to the assetic configuration:

assetic:
    bundles: []

The default swiftmailer configuration now has the spool setting configured to the memory type to defer email sending after the response is sent to the user (recommended for better end-user performance):

swiftmailer:
    spool: { type: memory }

The jms_security_extra configuration was moved to the security.yml configuration file.

app/config/config_dev.yml

An example of how to send all emails to a unique address was added:

#swiftmailer:
#    delivery_address: me@example.com

app/config/config_test.yml

The storage_id setting must be changed to session.storage.mock_file:

framework:
    session:
        storage_id: session.storage.mock_file

app/config/parameters.ini

The file has been converted to a YAML file which reads as follows:

parameters:
    database_driver:   pdo_mysql
    database_host:     localhost
    database_port:     ~
    database_name:     symfony
    database_user:     root
    database_password: ~

    mailer_transport:  smtp
    mailer_host:       localhost
    mailer_user:       ~
    mailer_password:   ~

    locale:            en
    secret:            ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt

Note that if you convert your parameters file to YAML, you must also change its reference in app/config/config.yml.

app/config/routing_dev.yml

The _assetic entry was removed:

#_assetic:
#    resource: .
#    type:     assetic

app/config/security.yml

Under security.access_control, the default rule for internal routes was changed:

security:
    access_control:
        #- { path: ^/_internal/secure, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY, ip: 127.0.0.1 }

Under security.providers, the in_memory example was updated to the following:

security:
    providers:
            in_memory:
                memory:
                    users:
                        user:  { password: userpass, roles: [ 'ROLE_USER' ] }
                        admin: { password: adminpass, roles: [ 'ROLE_ADMIN' ] }

app/AppKernel.php

The following bundles have been added to the list of default registered bundles:

new JMS\AopBundle\JMSAopBundle(),
new JMS\DiExtraBundle\JMSDiExtraBundle($this),

You must also rename the DoctrineBundle from:

new Symfony\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),

to:

new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),

web/app.php

The default web/app.php file now reads as follows:

<?php

use Symfony\Component\ClassLoader\ApcClassLoader;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

$loader = require_once __DIR__.'/../app/bootstrap.php.cache';

// Use APC for autoloading to improve performance.
// Change 'sf2' to a unique prefix in order to prevent cache key conflicts
// with other applications also using APC.
/*
$loader = new ApcClassLoader('sf2', $loader);
$loader->register(true);
*/

require_once __DIR__.'/../app/AppKernel.php';
//require_once __DIR__.'/../app/AppCache.php';

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false);
$kernel->loadClassCache();
//$kernel = new AppCache($kernel);
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $kernel->handle($request);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

web/app_dev.php

The default web/app_dev.php file now reads as follows:

<?php

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

// If you don't want to setup permissions the proper way, just uncomment the following PHP line
// read http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html#configuration-and-setup for more information
//umask(0000);

// This check prevents access to debug front controllers that are deployed by accident to production servers.
// Feel free to remove this, extend it, or make something more sophisticated.
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])
    || isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])
    || !in_array(@$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], array(
        '127.0.0.1',
        '::1',
    ))
) {
    header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
    exit('You are not allowed to access this file. Check '.basename(__FILE__).' for more information.');
}

$loader = require_once __DIR__.'/../app/bootstrap.php.cache';
require_once __DIR__.'/../app/AppKernel.php';

$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', true);
$kernel->loadClassCache();
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $kernel->handle($request);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);
