Question

Can anyone help me with a Symfony 2 (I’m newby with it).

I just installed framework, created my own bundle and it worked fine till I switched template engine from Twig to PHP.

The steps I did:

• specified templating: { engines: ['php', 'twig'] } in config.yml
• renamed view file from hello.html.twig to hello.html.php
• changed twig template code to php’s echo

Also if inside the action I leave:

return $this->render('MyBundle:Default:index.html.php', array('name' => $name));

all OK, but when I changes it to:

return array('name' => $name);

Symfony shows me an error: Unable to find template “MyBundle:Default:index.html.twig”

I assume you use the @Template() annotation? From the official documentation:

If you are using PHP as a templating system, you need to make it
explicit::

/**
  * @Template(engine=”php”)
  */
public function showAction($id)
{
    // …
}

So you should add engine="php" to the annotation.
