Symfony started as a fork of Mojavi3-DEV, a PHP implementation of the Model-View-Controller model, in which an object-relationnal mapping based on Propel was integrated.

Helpers for templates, routing, ... inspired by Ruby on Rails, were added in a second time.

Eventually, some custom features were integrated - such as cache and scaffolding - that made of symfony more than just another MVC implementation: a unique framework with so many features that it will take months to write the documentation.

Symfony uses some other PHP open source projects:

• Creole, for database abstraction layer
• Prado, for i18n support
• Spyc, for YAML parsing (symfony 1.0)
• Pake, for command-line tool (symfony 1.0)

Some open-source javascript libraries are included in the package:

• Prototype, for JavaScript framework (symfony 1.0 and 1.1)
• script.aculo.us, for Ajax and visual effects (symfony 1.0 and 1.1)
• Dynarch.com, for the DHTML Calendar (symfony 1.0 and 1.1)
• TinyMCE, for Rich Text Editing (symfony 1.0)
