I just wanted to point out that symfony can be used both ways (i.e. as a glue and as a full stack), because its main components are pretty loosely coupled and can be used separately outside the framework: http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/2008/06/23/the-symfony-1-1-architecture You can also use Zend components with symfony if you like: http://devzone.zend.com/article/1957-Using-Zend_Lucene-Inside-of-symfony There is also a long-term plan to release symfony components with docs: http://components.symfony-project.org/ As far as scalability goes, look at Yahoo Bookmarks, delicious and DailyMotion for examples of big symfony sites. http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/category/Case+studies -- Aj. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
