Symfony interview questions

Symfony bundle are very similar to plugins or packages in other frameworks or CMS. In Symfony, everything is a bundle from core framework components to code you write.The bundle gives the flexibility to use pre-built features packaged in third-party bundles or to create and distribute your own bundles.

There are two types of bundles are available in Symfony :

1. Application-specific bundles: only used to build your application.
2. Reusable bundles: meant to be shared across many projects.

public function sessionAction(SessionInterface $session)
{
    // store an attribute for reuse during a later user request
    $session->set('user_id', 5);

    // get the attribute set by another controller in another request
    $user_id = $session->get('user_id');  
}

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition my_project_name
