[Symfony](https://symfony.com) is a **PHP framework** for web and console applications and a set of reusable **PHP components**. Symfony is used by thousands of web applications and most of the [popular PHP projects](https://symfony.com/projects).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- [Install Symfony](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html) with Composer (see [requirements details](https://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/requirements.html)).
- Symfony follows the [semantic versioning](https://semver.org) strictly, publishes "Long Term Support" (LTS) versions and has a [release process](https://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/community/releases.html) that is predictable and business-friendly.

Sponsor
-------

[](#sponsor)

Symfony 8.0 is backed by:

- [Sulu](https://sulu.io/)
- [PhpStorm](https://jb.gg/fbsk8y)

**Sulu** is the CMS for Symfony developers. It provides pre-built content-management features while giving developers the freedom to build, deploy, and maintain custom solutions using full-stack Symfony. Sulu is ideal for creating complex websites, integrating external tools, and building custom-built solutions.

**PhpStorm** is a JetBrains IDE designed specifically for PHP development. Out of the box, PhpStorm provides you with intelligent, feature-rich code editing tailored to every aspect of PHP programming – smart coding assistance, reliable refactorings, instant code navigation, built-in developer tools, PHP framework support, and more.

Help Symfony by [sponsoring](https://symfony.com/sponsor) its development!
