Essentially there is no difference between a philharmonic orchestra and a symphony orchestra. Both are made up of the same types of instruments and are capable of playing the same music.
A philharmonic orchestra is normally composed of a choir or choral society that it accompanies whereas a symphony orchestra is not.
There is or there use to be a difference.
The Philharmonic Orchestra was also called " The Musical Republic" the musician elected their Conductor, the economics, the character of their orchestra, share revenues.
The Symphonic Orchestra was mainly musicians employed by a State, University, etc.
Today I do not know if this difference still prevails.

Is a guitar an orchestral instrument?
Guitar is not an orchestral instrument since it is not a regular part of a symphony orchestra. There are only several pieces that require guitar (and/or mandolin), but those are only for one or several movements inside a piece and not for the entire duration of the work. There are several reasons for exclusion of the guitar from the symphony orchestra, but the main one would probably be the difference in volume levels between the guitar and other orchestral instruments.
What is the difference between a symphony sonata and concerto?
The big difference between the three is the amount of people performing them. A sonata is written for one or two instruments, the concerto for a soloist/s with an orchestra and a symphony is for the entire orchestra.
