Hi, What you ask is not dumb at all, it sounds perfectly logical. It sounds to me like you're looking at creating a mash-up of different applications into a single application.
This is, however, something that requires web services through SOAP or XML-RPC (or even PHP-RPC for that matter). You would be creating web services that provide the data in the several different (symfony) applications, and combining that data in your central application. Even when using AJAX, this would probably save you some processing time and bandwidth. The only thing I am wondering... which browsers these days do not support AJAX anymore? I understand the wish to have a fallback system, just wondering for what kind of system you want this fallback ;) Stefan On Sep 11, 6:19 pm, s8529hel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to use symfony to create a frontend (basically just a gui) > to several intertwined cooperating business applications.
