 Upgrading Projects from 1.1 to 1.2
==================================

This document describes the changes made in symfony 1.2 and what need
to be done to upgrade your symfony 1.1 projects.

If you want more detailed information on what has been changed/added in symfony 1.2,
you can read the [What's new?](http://www.symfony-project.org/tutorial/1_2/whats-new) tutorial.

>**CAUTION**
>symfony 1.2 is compatible with PHP 5.2.4 or later.
>It might also work with PHP 5.2.0 to 5.2.3 but there is no guarantee.

How to upgrade?
---------------

To upgrade a project:

  * Check that all plugins used by your project are compatible with symfony
    1.2

  * If you don't use a SCM tool, please make a backup of your project.

  * Upgrade symfony to 1.2

  * Launch the `project:upgrade1.2` task from your project directory
    to perform an automatic upgrade:

        $ php symfony project:upgrade1.2

    This task can be launched several times without any side effect. Each time
    you upgrade to a new symfony 1.2 beta / RC or the final symfony 1.2, you
    have to launch this task.

  * Upgrade the plugins to their 1.2 version

  * You need to rebuild your models and forms due to some changes described
    below (read below how to upgrade to Propel 1.3 first):

        $ php symfony propel:build-model
        $ php symfony propel:build-forms
        $ php symfony propel:build-filters

  * Clear the cache:

        $ php symfony cc

The remaining sections explain the main changes made in symfony 1.2 that need
some kind of upgrade (automatic or not).

Upgrade to 1.2 final
--------------------

If you have upgraded your 1.1 project before 1.2 final, you need to check the
following things:

  * If you have generated CRUD modules with the `--non-verbose-templates` options,
    you need to remove the extra `$form->renderHiddenFields()` statement in the `_form.php`
    template. If not, you can have erroneous "CSRF attack detected" error messages.

  * For all generated CRUD modules, and if you have enabled CSRF protection, you need
    to insert `$request->checkCSRFProtection()` at the beginning of the generated
    `executeDelete()` method to be protected from CSRF attacks.

Propel
------

Propel has been upgraded to version 1.3, which replaces support for Creole
with PDO.

Due to the removal of Creole, the following classes are removed:

 *class name*             | *equivalent*
 ------------------------ | -------------------------------
 `sfCreoleDatabase`       | `sfPropelDatabase`
 `sfDebugConnection`      | `DebugPDO`
 `sfMessageSource_Creole` | `sfMessageSource_PDO`
 `sfCreoleSessionStorage` | `sfPDOSessionStorage`
 
The `propel:build-db` task has been removed as this functionality is not yet
provided by Propel 1.3.

The first step to upgrading is changing from Creole to PDO syntax in the
database configuration from the project `databases.yml` file.

Locate the following:

    [yml]
    all:
      propel:
        class:      sfPropelDatabase
        param:
          dsn:      mysql://username:password@localhost/example

Replace with the following:

    [yml]
    dev:
      propel:
        param:
          classname: DebugPDO

    test:
      propel:
        param:
          classname:  DebugPDO

    all:
      propel:
        class: sfPropelDatabase
        param:
          dsn:        mysql:dbname=example;host=localhost
          username:   username
          password:   password
          encoding:   utf8
          persistent: true
          pooling:    true
          classname:  PropelPDO

Next, you must also upgrade the `propel.ini` with the PDO format DSN and updated
configuration options.

Locate the following:

    [ini]
    propel.database            = mysql
    propel.database.createUrl  = mysql://username:password@localhost/
    propel.database.url        = mysql://username:password@localhost/example

Replace with the following:

    [ini]
    propel.database            = mysql
    propel.database.driver     = mysql
    propel.database.url        = mysql:dbname=example;host=localhost
    propel.database.user       = username
    propel.database.password   = password
    propel.database.encoding   = utf8

Since the underlying api has changed quite a bit, you need to rebuild the
object model:

    $ php symfony propel:build-model

In most cases, this will be all that is required. If you have customized
object model classes, you may need to manually upgrade for the changes in
API from Creole to PDO. The upgrade task will attempt to change method
signatures to match the `Persistent` interface, by adding type hinting for
PropelPDO in `->save($con = null)` and `->delete($con = null)`.

Change instances of:

    [php]
    public function save($con = null)
    public function delete($con = null)

To add PropelPDO type hint:

    [php]
    public function save(PropelPDO $con = null)
    public function delete(PropelPDO $con = null)

The transaction api has change slightly: `->begin` has been renamed `->beginTransaction()`
and `->rollback()` has been renamed `->rollBack()`. Here are the differences:
 
`Creole`:

    [php]
    $con->begin();
    try {
      /* db logic */
      $con->commit();
    } catch (SQLException $sqle) {
      $con->rollback();
      throw $sqle;
    }
    
`PDO`:

    [php]
    $con->beginTransaction();
    try {
      /* db logic */
      $con->commit();
    } catch (PDOException $sqle) {
      $con->rollBack();
      throw $sqle;
    }

The `::doSelectRS` method has been renamed to `::doSelectStmt`. Here are the differences:

`Creole`:

    [php]
    // example of how to manually hydrate objects
    $rs = AuthorPeer::doSelectRS(new Criteria());
    while($rs->next()) {
      $a = new Author();
      $a->hydrate($rs);
    }

    // example of how to create array of single column
    $rs = AuthorPeer::doSelectRS(new Criteria());
    $names = array();
    while($rs->next()) {
      $names[] = $rs->getString(2);
    }
    
    $con = Propel::getConnection(SomeTablePeer::DATABASE_NAME);
    $stmt = $con->prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE name = ?");
    $stmt->setString(1, $name);
    $rs = $stmt->executeQuery();
    while($rs->next()) {
       print "Name: " . $rs->getString("name") . "\n";
    }


`PDO`:

    [php]
    // example of how to manually hydrate objects
    $stmt = AuthorPeer::doSelectStmt(new Criteria());
    while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) {
      $a = new Author();
      $a->hydrate($row);
    }
    
    // example of how to create array of single column
    $stmt = AuthorPeer::doSelectStmt(new Criteria());
    $names = array();
    while($res = $stmt->fetchColumn(1)) {
      $names[] = $res;
    }
    
    $con = Propel::getConnection(SomeTablePeer::DATABASE_NAME);
    $stmt = $con->prepare("SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE name = ?");
    $stmt->bindValue(1, $name);
    $stmt->execute();
    while($row = $stmt->fetch()) { 
       print "Name: " . $row['name'] . "\n";
    }

The `Clob` and `Lob` classes from Creole are not used anymore. It means you
need to change your code when using these objects:

    [php]
    // Propel 1.1
    $object->getClobColumn()->getContents();

    // Propel 1.2
    $object->getClobColumn();

See http://propel.phpdb.org/trac/wiki/Users/Documentation/1.3/Upgrading for more details
on upgrading.

All the Propel library have been moved from `lib/propel` to `lib`. The upgrade task
upgrades the `propel.ini` file to reflect these changes.

Request
-------

The `path_info_array`, `path_info_key`, and `relative_url_root` settings have
been moved from `settings.yml` to `factories.yml` (in the `param` section of the
`request` factory configuration).

This change removes the dependency between `sfRequest` and `sfConfig`.

These three request options are now passed to the request constructor as a
fourth argument. The formats are also passed as an option,
instead of being passed as an attribute.

The request method constants from `sfRequest` values have changed from integers
to strings and the `sfRequest::NONE` method has been removed:

 **Constant** | **Old value** | **New value**
 ------------ | ------------- | -------------
 GET          | 2             | GET
 POST         | 4             | POST
 PUT          | 5             | PUT
 DELETE       | 6             | DELETE
 HEAD         | 7             | HEAD
 NONE         | 1             | -

The `getMethod()` and `getMethodName()` methods now returns the same value,
so `getMethodName()` is deprecated.

The `sfAction::getMethodNames()` and the corresponding code in
`sfValidationExecutionFilter` from `sfCompat10Plugin` have been removed.
This method was deprecated in 1.1 and was not really useable in 1.0.

Validators
----------

The `sfValidatorSchemaCompare` constant values have been changed. No change to
your code need to be done, but now, you can use nice shortcuts.
The following two examples are equivalent:

    [php]
    // symfony 1.1 and 1.2
    $v = new sfValidatorSchemaCompare('left', sfValidatorSchemaCompare::EQUAL, 'right');

    // symfony 1.2 only
    $v = new sfValidatorSchemaCompare('left', '==', 'right');

The `sfValidatorI18nChoiceCountry` and `sfValidatorI18nChoiceLanguage` validators
had a required `culture` option in symfony 1.1. As the culture is not used in those
validators, the `culture` option is now deprecated. It is still there to maintain
backward compatibility but you don't need to provide it anymore.

Forms 
----- 
    
In symfony 1.1, the `BaseFormPropel` was generated in the wrong place (under the 
`lib/form/base/` directory). You need to move it to the `lib/form/` directory. 

Widgets
-------

The new `sfWidgetFormChoice` widgets are now used by default by the Propel generated forms
instead of `sfWidgetFormSelect`. To take advantage of this more powerful widgets, you will
need to rebuilt your forms:

    $ php symfony propel:build-forms

Response
--------

There is a new setting for the `response` factory: `send_http_headers`.
This setting is `true` by default, except for the `test` environment where
the headers must not be sent by PHP (the same goal was achieved by using
the `sf_test` setting in symfony 1.1).

This change removes the dependency between `sfResponse` and `sfConfig`.

The `getStylesheets()` and `getJavascripts()` methods can now return all the
stylesheets and javascripts ordered by position if you pass `sfWebResponse::ALL`
as their first argument:

    [php]
    $response = new sfWebResponse(new sfEventDispatcher());
    $response->addStylesheet('foo.css');
    $response->addStylesheet('bar.css', 'first');

    var_export($response->getStylesheets());

    // outputs
    array(
      'bar.css' => array(),
      'foo.css' => array(),
    )

The `sfWebResponse::ALL` is also now the default value for the position argument.
In symfony 1.1, as the default value is the empty string, the methods only return
the files registered for the default position by default, which is not very intuitive.

In symfony 1.1, you was able to get all the files by passing the `'ALL'` string
as the position, and this behavior is still available by passing
`sfWebResponse::RAW`:

    [php]
    var_export($response->getStylesheets(sfWebResponse::RAW));

    // outputs
    array(
      'first' =>
        array(
          'bar.css' => array (),
        ),
      '' =>
        array(
        'foo.css' => array(),
        ),
      'last' => array(),
    )

All the positions (first, '', and last) are now also available as constants:

    [php]
    sfWebResponse::FIRST  === 'first'
    sfWebResponse::MIDDLE === ''
    sfWebResponse::LAST   === 'last'

The `removeStylesheet()` and `removeJavascript()` methods now only take one argument,
the file to remove from the response. It will remove the file in all the available
positions. In symfony 1.1, they take the position as a second argument.

Prototype and Scriptaculous
---------------------------

symfony continues to decouple its bundled software. In 1.2 the bundled Prototype
and Scriptaculous libraries and helpers (`JavascriptHelper`) have been moved to a
core-plugin. Core plugins behave like any plugin but are shipped with symfony.
This will make the JavaScript and CSS files of the new `sfProtoculousPlugin`
(the more or less unofficial name of the often featured duo) behave like real plugin
assets. They will be now in `web/sfProtoculousPlugin` rather than in `web/sf`
(as it has been in 1.0 and 1.1). The `prototype_web_dir` setting will also now point
to the new directory.

In addition some very basic javascript helpers that are reusable by any JS framework, have
been extracted to a `JavascriptBaseHelper` which stays in core.

As a new addition, `javascript_tag()` now can behave as `slot()`. This allows such usage

    [php]
    <?php javascript_tag() ?>
    alert('All is good')
    <?php end_javascript_tag() ?>

Assets from built-in plugins
----------------------------

Some built-in plugins come with some stylesheet and JavaScript files. To make them
accessible to your project, you need to run the `plugin:publish-assets` task:

    $ php symfony plugin:publish-assets

The `project:upgrade1.2` task do this for you.

Browser
-------

The `sfBrowser` and `sfTestBrowser` classes have been refactored in four classes:

  * `sfBrowserBase`:        The base browser class. It knows nothing about symfony,
                            except classes from the symfony platform.

  * `sfBrowser`:            It inherits from `sfBrowserBase` and implements the
                            methods specific to symfony.

  * `sfTestFunctionalBase`: The base functional test class. It implements test
                            methods that are independant from symfony.

  * `sfTestFunctional`:     It inherits from `sfTestFunctionalBase` and implements
                            the test methods specific to symfony.

  * `sfTestBrowser`:        A BC class which is the same as the `sfTestFunctional`
                            class with a constructor signature compatible with symfony 1.1

The idea behind the refactor is that the `sfTestFunctional` class is a test class,
not a browser. So, it takes a browser and a test object as its arguments:

    [php]
    $testBrowser = new sfTestBrowser('localhost');

    $tester = new sfTestFunctional(new sfBrowser('localhost'), new lime_test());

The `sfTestFunctional` class acts as a proxy for the browser class which means
that all methods from the browser are accessible directly from the functional
tester object.

This refactor must not introduce backward incompatibility with symfony 1.1.

The browser classes now add the `HTTP_REFERER` header for each request.

Tests
-----

### Testers

The `sfTestFunctionalBase` class now delegates the actual tests to `sfTester`
classes. symfony 1.2 has several built-in tester classes:

  * `request`:    `sfTesterRequest`
  * `response`:   `sfTesterResponse`
  * `user`:       `sfTesterUser`
  * `view_cache`: `sfTesterViewCache`

All the old methods from the test browser have been moved to one of the tester
class:

 *method name*          | *tester class*      | *new method name*
 ---------------------- | ------------------- | -----------------
 `isRequestParameter`   | `sfTesterRequest`   | `isParameter`
 `isRequestFormat`      | `sfTesterRequest`   | `isFormat`
                        |                     |
 `isStatusCode`         | `sfTesterResponse`  | `isStatusCode`
 `responseContains`     | `sfTesterResponse`  | `contains`
 `isResponseHeader`     | `sfTesterResponse`  | `isHeader`
 `checkResponseElement` | `sfTesterResponse`  | `checkElement`
                        |                     |
 `isUserCulture`        | `sfTesterUser`      | `isCulture`
                        |                     |
 `isCached`             | `sfTesterViewCache` | `isCached`
 `isUriCached`          | `sfTesterViewCache` | `isUriCached`

The tester classes also comes with new test methods:

 *tester class*      | *new method name*
 ------------------- | -----------------
 `sfTesterRequest`   | `hasCookie`
 `sfTesterRequest`   | `isCookie`
 `sfTesterRequest`   | `isMethod`
                     |
 `sfTesterUser`      | `isAuthenticated`
 `sfTesterUser`      | `hasCredential`
 `sfTesterUser`      | `isAttribute`
 `sfTesterUser`      | `isFlash`

Even if the old methods are deprecated, they do not send any warning and will
not be removed to maintain backward compatibility with symfony 1.0 and 1.1.

### Links

When you simulate a click on a button or on a link, you give the name to the `click()`
method. But you don't have the possibility to differentiate two different links or buttons
with the same name.

As of symfony 1.2, the `click()` method takes a third argument to pass some options.

You can pass a `position` option to change the link you want to click on:

    [php]
    $b->
      click('/', array(), array('position' => 1))->
      // ...
    ;

By default, symfony clicks on the first link it finds in the page.

You can also pass a `method` option to change the method of the link or the form
you are clicking on:

    [php]
    $b->
      click('/delete', array(), array('method' => 'delete'))->
      // ...
    ;

This is very useful when a link is converted to a dynamic form generated
with JavaScript.

Actions
-------

By default, when you use the `redirectIf()` or `redirectUnless()` methods
in your actions, symfony automatically changes the response HTTP status
code to 302.

These two methods now have an additional optional argument to change this
default status code:

    [php]
    $this->redirectIf($condition, '@homepage', 301);
    $this->redirectUnless($condition, '@homepage', 301);

The `redirect()` method already have this feature.

Components
----------

If you have the output escaper enabled, there was a bug in symfony 1.0 and 1.1.
When you passed some variables from an action to a component, these were escaped
in the component. So, in some circumstances, you had to unescaped them:

    [php]
    public function executeInAComponent($request)
    {
      $this->foo = $this->foo->getRawValue();
    }

As of symfony 1.2, this has been fixed and all variables are now unescaped
by default in a component method.

For the above example, you will need to remove the `getRawValue()` step as
the framework does this automatically for you.

sfParameterHolder
-----------------

The `has()` method of `sfParameterHolder` has been changed to be more
semantically correct.

It now returns `true` even if the value is `null`:

    [php]
    $ph = new sfParameterHolder();
    $ph->set('foo', 'bar');
    $ph->set('bar', null);

    $ph->has('foo') === true;
    $ph->has('bar') === true; // returns false under symfony 1.0 or 1.1

The `sfParameterHolder::has()` method is used by the `hasParameter()` and
`hasAttribute()` methods available for a large number of core classes.

Tasks
-----

The Propel tasks relying on Phing now output a clear error message if the embed
Phing task fails.

Some CLI tasks takes an application name as an argument because they need to connect
to the database. We need an application because the configuration can be customized
on an application basis and all the symfony configuration system is based on the
application level.

For these tasks, this argument has been removed in favor of an optional "application"
option. If you don't provide the "application" option, symfony will take the database
configuration from the project `databases.yml` file.

The following task signatures have been changed accordingly:

 * `propel:build-all-load`
 * `propel:data-dump`
 * `propel:data-load`

>**Note**
>This is possible because `sfDatabaseManager` now takes a project configuration or an
application configuration. For the curious one, this works because
`sfDatabaseConfigHandler` now returns a static or a dynamic configuration based
on an array of configuration files (see the `execute()` and `evaluate()` methods).

The `propel:insert-sql` task removes all the data from the database.
As it destroys information, it now asks the user to confirm the execution of
the task. The same goes for the `propel:build-all` and `propel:build-all-load` tasks,
as they call the `propel:insert-sql` task.

If you want to use these tasks in a batch and want to avoid the confirmation question,
pass the `no-confirmation` option:

    $ php symfony propel:insert-sql --no-confirmation

Before symfony 1.2, the `propel:insert-sql` task was the only task to read its
database configuration information from `propel.ini`. As of symfony 1.2, it
reads its information from `databases.yml`. So, if you use several different
connections in your model, the task will take those into account.
Thanks to this new feature, you can now use the `--connection` option
if you want to only load SQL statements for a given connection:

    $ php symfony propel:insert-sql --connection=propel

You can also use the `--env` and the `--application` options to select a
specific configuration to use:

    $ php symfony propel:insert-sql --env=prod --application=frontend

The `propel:generate-crud` has been renamed to `propel:generate-module`. The old
task name is still available as an alias.

The `non-atomic-actions` option of `propel:generate-module` has been removed
and some new options have been added:

  * singular:          The singular name for the actions and templates
  * plural:            The plural name for the actions and templates
  * route-prefix:      The route prefix to use
  * with-propel-route: Whether the related routes are Propel aware

To ease the debugging, the `propel:build-model`, `propel:build-all`, and
`propel:build-all-load` tasks do not remove the generated XML schemas anymore
if you pass the `--trace` option.

URL helpers
-----------

The old `post` option of `link_to` is still valid but deprecated:

    [php]
    // is deprecated
    <?php echo link_to('@some_route', array('post' => true)) ?>

    // and equivalent to
    <?php echo link_to('@some_route', array('method' => 'post')) ?>

The `url_for()` and `link_to()` helpers support new signatures.
Instead of an internal URI, they can now also take the route name and
an array of parameters:

    [php]
    echo url_for('@article', array('id' => 1));
    echo link_to('Link to article', '@article', array('id' => 1));

The old behavior still works without changing anything to your code.

Image helper
------------

In symfony 1.0 and 1.1 the `image_tag` helper would generate the `alt`
attribute of the img-tag from the filename. This now only happens if
`sf_compat_10` is on. The new behaviour eases finding of unset alt attributes
using a (x)html validator. As a bonus, there is now a `alt_title` option that
will set alt and title attribute to the same value, which is useful for cross
browser tooltips.

View
----

You can override `sfViewCacheManager::generateCacheKey()` by defining a
`sf_cache_namespace_callable` setting. As of symfony 1.2, the callable
is now called with an additional argument, the view cache manager instance.

Configuration
-------------

Before symfony 1.2, all the plugins installed under the `plugins` directory,
and all built-in plugins were automatically loaded.

As of symfony 1.2, you need to enable the plugins you want to use in your projects.
You can do this in your `ProjectConfiguration` class. Here is how to enable the
Doctrine plugin and disable the Propel one:

    [php]
    public function setup()
    {
      $this->enablePlugins('sfDoctrinePlugin');
      $this->disablePlugins('sfPropelPlugin');
    }

You can add several plugins in one call by passing an array of plugin names:

    [php]
    public function setup()
    {
      $this->enablePlugins(array('sfDoctrinePlugin', 'sfGuardPlugin'));
    }

You can also change the order in which plugins are loaded by using the `setPlugins`
method:

    [php]
    public function setup()
    {
      $this->setPlugins(array('sfDoctrinePlugin', 'sfCompat10Plugin'));
    }

The `orm` setting is deprecated in `settings.yml` as it is now automatically
set when the ORM plugin is loaded.

The `compat_10` setting is also deprecated in `settings.yml` as it is now
automatically set when the `sfCompat10Plugin` is loaded.

So, to enable the 1.0 compatibility plugin, you need to enable it in your
configuration:

    [php]
    public function setup()
    {
      $this->enablePlugins('sfCompat10Plugin');
    }

By default, symfony only enables the Propel plugin.

You can also enable all installed plugins:

    [php]
    public function setup()
    {
      $this->enableAllPluginsExcept('sfDoctrinePlugin');
    }

The previous example allows you to enable all plugins except the Doctrine one.
If you upgrade from 1.0 or 1.1, this line will make symfony behave like in
symfony 1.0 and 1.1.

The `sfLoader` class is deprecated as the `getHelperDirs()` and `loadHelpers()`
methods are now part of the `sfApplicationConfiguration` class. The `sfLoader`
methods now generate a deprecated log message and then call the new methods from
the current active configuration.

### Plugin configuration

Plugins now have the option of providing a plugin configuration class. These
plugin configuration classes setup autoloading for the plugin, and are
instantiated in `sfProjectConfiguration`. This means symfony 1.2 tasks no
longer require an application argument for plugin classes to be used. This
allows plugins to connect to `command.*` events, something that was not
previously possible.

I18N
----

Internally, the `sfCultureInfo` class is now only used as a singleton.
Even if it is still possible to bypass the `getInstance()` method and instantiate
a new object directly, it is deprecated. By using the singleton, the performance
are better as we only instantiate one culture info object per request and it
also means that you can now override some culture information globally in your
configuration classes.

The `sfCultureInfo::getCountries()`, `sfCultureInfo::getCurrencies()`, and
`sfCultureInfo::getLanguages()` methods now take an optional argument which allows
to restrict the return value:

    [php]
    // will only return the FR and ES countries in english
    $countries = sfCultureInfo::getInstance('en')->getCountries(array('FR', 'ES'));

The `sfCultureInfo::getCurrencies()` method now returns an array of currency names.
In previous symfony versions, it returned an array with the symbol and the name.
To get the old behavior, just pass `true` as the second argument:

    [php]
    $currencies = sfCultureInfo::getInstance('en')->getCurrencies(null, true);

To get the translation of a single country, language, or currency, you can now
use the `getCountry()`, `getCurrency()`, and `getLanguage()` methods from the
`sfCultureInfo` class.

Exception Templates
-------------------

symfony now respects the current request format when rendering any uncaught
exceptions. You can customize each format's output by adding a template to
your project or application `config/error` directory.

For example, an uncaught exception during an XML request could render
`config/error/exception.xml.php` when your application is in debug mode, or
`config/error/error.xml.php` when your application is not in debug mode.

If you had customized the 500 error template in your project, you will
need to manually move it to the new directory:

  * For symfony 1.1: from `config/error500.php` to `config/error/error.html.php`
  * For symfony 1.0: from `web/errors/error500.php` to `config/error/error.html.php`
