One of my projects (PHP) I'm thinking of using symfony. I'm pretty new to php , but has a rails experience over 3 years. My questions are
The project I'm thinking is having some basic CURD operations with MySQL and some AJAX. and heavy reporting
1 - Is 'symfony' is a dependable framework (with the scalability, AJAX support etc..) , if not what are the advised frameworks
2- if i go with 'symfony' is there any special server requirements needs to be met or can I use any hosting provider who supports PHP5 and MySQL
thanks in advance
cheers
