Thank you for the reference. The lack of indexing and other search terms is very frustrating.
I have only received the printed book last week and am going through it slowly. The online documentation is only as good as the indexing can make it. The lack of an index is very frustrating. I searched for "fixtures" and "fixtures.yml" and only came across the reference in unit test chapter. I will now go to the yaml web site and read there. I am not intentionally trying to be rude. I simply write facts down. If you insist on taking offense to the simple presentation of facts, then you need to adjust your attitude. My personal attitude is that I am trying to use a reasonable tool that has some small problems that the developers apparantly cannot see. /Joe On Apr 9, 9:54 am, "Francois Zaninotto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] project.com> wrote: > Dear Joe, > > Did you read pages 358-361 (Chapter 16) of the symfony book?
