Question

I am following the tutorial from Symfony2 on how to use form classes.

I am doing something wrong, because when I use the following example code:

// src/Acme/TaskBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php

// add this new use statement at the top of the class
use Acme\TaskBundle\Form\Type\TaskType;

public function newAction()
{
    //$task = // ... ???
    $form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(), $task);

// ...
}

…I receive the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: task

I understand that $task has not yet been defined properly. Can anyone explain to me how I should define it? I tried creating it as entity, as formType, as undefined variable, but all to no luck.

Cheers

If you follow the tutorial from the first then you should have created a Task entity in Acme\TaskBundle\Entity namespace. So your controller would be,

// src/Acme/TaskBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php

// add this new use statement at the top of the class
use Acme\TaskBundle\Form\Type\TaskType;
use Acme\TaskBundle\Entity\Task;

public function newAction()
{
    $task = new Task();
    $form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(), $task);

// ...
}
