  • 0

I have an array like this:

$a = array ('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));

and I want to print it in a readble way like this:

Array
(
    [a] => apple
    [b] => banana
    [c] => Array
        (
            [0] => x
            [1] => y
            [2] => z
        )
)

I have to pass the array to a Twig template. I tried this, but I don’t get the result I want. Can you please advise me what do change?

In controller:

$a = array ('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));
$b = json_encode($a);
$c = json_decode($b, true);

return $this->render('AcmeTestBundle:Home:data.html.twig', array('data' => $c));

In template:

{% extends '::base.html.twig' %}

{% block stylesheets %}

    <link href="{{ asset('bundles/acmetest/css/test.css') }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> 

{% endblock %}

{% block body %}

    {{ data }}

{% endblock %}

(this is base.html.twig: )

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <title>{% block title %}Welcome!{% endblock %}</title>
        {% block stylesheets %}{% endblock %}
        <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{{ asset('favicon.ico') }}" />
    </head>
    <body>
        {% block body %}{% endblock %}
        {% block javascripts %}{% endblock %}
    </body>
</html>

    Try with the Twig Debug Extensions:

    Twig 1.x

    <pre>{% debug data %}</pre>

    Twig 2.x

    {{ dump(user, categories) }}

    The debug/dump tags only work when the debug environment option is set to true.

    https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/functions/dump.html

    Also, you can try this without the debug extension:

    $a = array ('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));

return $this->render('AcmeTestBundle:Home:data.html.twig', array('data' => var_export($a, true)));

    Inside your template:

    <pre>{{ data }}</pre>
