I want to get a parameter from a link in Symfony.
When I visit the URL, I should be forwarded to the index page. I want to get the value of the token parameter. The link looks like this:
http://www.myapp.com/?token=khdfhgkdfjghjdfgd354dfgdfg454dfg In my controller, I should get the value of the token.
But how do I do this using the GET method?
This is a simple task, simply type hint the Request object in your controller method like so...
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route; class MyController extends Controller { /** * @Route("/", name="index") */ public function indexAction(Request $request) { $token = $request->query->get('token'); // ... } /** * @Route("/{token}", name="index_with_token") */ public function indexWithTokenAction(Request $request, $token) { // ... } } You can do like this :
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route; /** * @Route("/your-url/{token}", * defaults={"token"="...."}, name="url_token") */ public function yourAction(Request $request) { // $_GET parameters $request->query->get('name'); // in your case name is token // $_POST parameters $request->request->get('name'); } 
Request before the parameter $request mean?
Request something that only Symphony uses? Because on the PHP documentation I couldn't find Request as a valid type.
