Symfony handle it very well. If you have third party code, you should put it in yourProjectName/lib directory. Thanks to the autoloader, Smyfony will scan for new classes inside that dir.
You only have to simple reference a class on any controller. for expamle a class named Math; in a controller: $math=new Math(); if class Math has static methods: $sum=Math::sum(2,4); 2011/3/2 pbertu <pbe...@gmail.com> > Hi everybody, pleased to meet you! > > I am currently evaluating Symfony as the platform for all my future > development projects.
