Symfony get form data in controller

Question

I have this view:

//login.html.twig





    

        

Answer 1

You should pass the Request object to the action method then deal with it:

public function conectionAction(Request $request){
    if ($request->getMethod() == Request::METHOD_POST){
        $user = $request->request->get('user');
        $password = $request->request->get('password');
    }
}

However I suggest you to use the Symfony Form Component to dial with this situation.

Answer 2

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');
