Symfony - Open-Source PHP Web Framework

Recently we got a chance to work with Symfony - Open-Source PHP Web Framework, and we all were impressed with it. It provides an architecture, components and tools for developers to build complex web applications faster. Symfony can be used to develop professional applications with style and little effort.

It's easy to start with Symfony, you need a web server (Apache for example), a database engine (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite), and PHP 5.2.4 or later.

It has The Admin Generator, Easy Ajax, Forms, Validators, Widgets, Testers, Loggers, Tasks, Routing, Filters and lots of plugins. Give it is try, i am sure it will be worth it!

Creating VCALENDAR file

Creating VCALENDAR is simple, we just need to follow the format but recently i have faced a lot of problems making VCALENDAR file work properly in Outlook (specially 2007) and Entourage (on MAC).

I created a VCALENDAR file as :

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY:Event Name
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Line 1=0D=0ALine 2=0D=0ALine 3
DTSTART:20090209T000000
DTEND:20090210T000000
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

This worked perfectly fine on Entourage (on MAC) and Outlook older version but not on Outlook 2007. I faced 2 (infact 3) problems:
1. Line breaks not visible in Outlook 2007
2. Start and End Time is not properly set
3. All day event checkbox is not checked

I corrected the line breaks probelm by adding "=0D=0A" twice ... so the description look like:

DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Line 1=0D=0A=0D=0ALine 2=0D=0A=0D=0ALine 3

Now the Start and End time and All day event problem is still there. Will let you all know if i am able to solve this.
