Symfony get form data in controller
I have this view:
//login.html.twig
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>MY APP</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="{{ path('conection') }}" method="post" name="formulario_login">
<label for="username">User:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="_username" value="{{ last_username|default('') }}" />
<br />
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="_password" />
<br />
<input type="checkbox" id="remember_me" name="_remember_me"/>
<label for="remember_me">Remember me</label>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
In my routing file:
conection:
pattern: /conection
defaults: { _controller: UserBundle:Default:conection}
And my controller
<?php
namespace myApp\UserBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
//some other action functions
public function conectionAction(){
}
}
My question is how do I get in the controller the values of user and password fields to work with them?I have search but I don´t see a clear solution.
Answer
Try this, by way of example and using Symfony2.8
View:
<form action="{{ path('connection') }}" method="post" name="formulario_login">
<label for="username">User:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="_username" value="" />
<br />
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="_password" />
<br />
<input type="checkbox" id="remember_me" name="_remember_me"/>
<label for="remember_me">Remember me</label>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
</form>
Controller:
public function connectionAction(Request $request) {
$username = $request->request->get('_username');
$password = $request->request->get('_password');
....
}
Other way to get parameters, as you can see the naming is not all that intuitive:
// $_GET parameters
$request->query->get('name');
// $_POST parameters
$request->request->get('name');
