Since 2003, I realize PHP web sites having over 10.000 daily visitors.
Managing such sites over the years has consistently improved my experience in PHP and related web technologies.
I fairly quickly abandon the procedural approach of scripting to work with an object-oriented structure of development.
This O.O method allows me to have a more structured code and easily reusable in other projects.
After testing several development frameworks, I chose Symfony to deploy my web projects.
Symfony is a MVC framework (Model View Controller) offering a professional development environment.
It provides technical tools giving the opportunity to developers to optimize the projects performance, the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and the portability of the source code.
But beyond the technical aspect, Symfony also offers a good way to dispatch the tasks within a team by separating the various parts of a project so everyone can focus on its own tasks without interfering with their collaborators work.
This structure is a real advantage for the realization of PHP projects in our association Fatcha.
On one hand, it allows our development team members to work in parallel on different parts of the site.
And on the other hand the code is completely separated from the web site's design, so we can collaborate with externals web designers. Not having to worry about the code and its technical aspects, they can focus on the implementation of layouts and designs.
This allows us to involve external people, without giving them access to source code of the projects and without requiring any PHP knowledge from them.
