10 PHP MVC Frameworks Templating and Forms

Templating and forms in Symfony allow generating and processing web pages and input. Templating uses Twig, a flexible templating language that allows template inheritance, logic, and asset inclusion. Forms are created with a form builder or separate form class, and allow input fields like text, selects, and uploads. Form data is then processed in controllers and can be saved to databases or used elsewhere.
