Most of the Symfony projects I’ve worked on are rife with lines of code like this (in the actions):

$this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->getProfile()->getEmail()

To conform to the above ideals (The Law Of Demeter) the code should be re-written as:

$this->getUser()->getEmail()

public function __call($method, $arguments)
 { 
  if(is_array($arguments))
  {
   return call_user_func_array(array($this->getGuardUser()->getProfile(), $method), $arguments);
  }
  else
  {
   return $this->getGuardUser()->getProfile()->$method();
  }
 }
