Question

Hey I am trying to get the selected option value in my route (annotation). I have Portfolio Controller which contains Index view. Inside the index view there is a form with only one select drop down. Initially the URL looks like

http://localhost/idp/web/app_dev.php/portfolio/ 

The form inside the index view is

<form name="portfolios" action="{{ path('v2_pm_portfolio_switch') }}" method="post" >
    <select name="portfolio" style="width: 200px; height:25px;">
        <option selected="selected" value="default">Switch Your Portfolio</option>
        {% for portfolio in portfolios %}
            <option value={{ portfolio.id }}>{{ portfolio.portfolioName }}</option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
   <input type="submit"class="portfolio_input button2 tooltip" value="Switch">
</form>

When the user submit the form, it calls the switchportfolio Action (inside portfolio controller)
My switch portfolio Action is

/**
* Switch Portfolio action.
* @Route("/{user selected option name should come here}", name="v2_pm_portfolio_switch")
* @Secure(roles="ROLE_Normal_Registered_User")
* @Template("MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:Portfolio:index.html.twig")
*/
public function switchportfolioAction(Request $request){
    }

How can I send the selected option name to my URL in Symfony2 ?
So that, if the user select portofolio1, and submit the form the URL becomes :

http://localhost/idp/web/app_dev.php/portfolio/portfolio1

Answer 1

Do something like this:

/**
 * Switch Portfolio action.
 * @Route("/v2_pm_portfolio_switch", name="v2_pm_portfolio_switch")
 * ...
 */
public function switchPortfolioAction(Request $request){
    //check that the form parameters are OK and get the portfolio id from the request
    return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('show_portfolio',array('portfolio'=>$portfolioId)));                

}

/**
 * Show Portfolio action.
 * @Route("/portfolio/{portfolio)", name="show_portfolio")
 * ...
 */
public function showPortfolioAction($portfolio){
    //do whatever you need to show this portfolio
}
