There really is no difference. They both love music, and they both play symphonies.
The first use of the word PHILHARMONIC was in 1813 when the word was applied to the London Orchestra, in orther words, The London Philharmonic. The use of the prefix "phil" comes from the Greek meaning "love of" - hence "love of symphonic music" or Philharmonic.
Very good question. I love symphonic music, in fact I write symphonic music myself.
There really is not difference, both play symphonies. You can read all about it in the following article:

It's the instrumentation. A philharmonic tends to be smaller as well, though not always.
