Philharmonic means good or "friendly" (loose trans.) harmony.
Symphony is a type of piece of music, as opposed to a concerto or opera, etc.
Back in the whatever century it was, when they started (mostly) the Symphony Orchestras were for symphonies, and other "sophistactated" music, and the "philharmonics" were mostly were the popular tunes of the day were heard.
But this is 2006 and I doubt there's been any real difference in the past 100 years or so
