Symfony is a free and open-source PHP web application framework. Symfony uses the Doctrine library for database access. Connecting to Neon from Symfony with Doctrine is the same as connecting to a standalone Postgres installation from Symfony with Doctrine. Only the connection details differ.
To connect to Neon from Symfony with Doctrine:
Create a Neon project
If you do not have one already, create a Neon project. Save your connection details including your password. They are required when defining connection settings.
- Navigate to the Projects page in the Neon Console.
- Click New Project.
- Specify your project settings and click Create Project.
Configure the connection
In your .env file, set the DATABASE_URL to the Neon project connection string that you copied in the previous step.
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://[user]:[password]@[neon_hostname]/[dbname]?charset=utf8&sslmode=require"You can find the connection string for your database by clicking the Connect button on your Project Dashboard. For more information, see Connect from any application.
