Assuming you have the EntityManager as $this->em

Get Doctrine Database Name from Symfony2:

$this->em->getConnection()->getDatabase();

Get Doctrine Host Name (Server Name) from Symfony2:

$this->em->getConnection()->getHost();

There are many other parameters you can access from the connection such as username, port and password. See the connection class for more info
