Question

How can I get values from config.yml or security.yml in the controller in Symfony2? I am not talking about the ones I define under “parameters” key (which one can easily get by $this->container->getParameter()), but those stored in upper levels.

For example, how can I get the security.firewalls.my_firewall.remember_me.key value?

What’s wrong with defining a value as a parameter and assigning it to a value in config.yml or security.yml? You can easily get it from a controller then.

For example, add a parameter to the parameters.ini file:

remember_me_key = some_key_here

And then use it in the security.yml file:

security.firewalls.my_firewall.remember_me.key: %remember_me_key%

And access it from a controller the way you already do.
