Question

I’ve got the following route:

register_invitecode:
  url:     /register/:invitecode
  param:   { module: home, action: register }
register:
  url:     /register
  param:   { module: home, action: register }

I want to use the “invitecode” in a partial, _form.php but I can’t get the $_GET[‘invitecode’]. I’ve used the following code:

<?php echo $sf_request->getGetParameter('invitecode') ?>

It doesn’t give me any error, but it also doesn’t show me the invitecode.

What can I do?

Also, is there any way to avoid the double declaration of the “register” route? invitecode should be an optional parameter, not mandatory.

Answer 1

the Get parameters (sfWebRequest->getGetParameter()) are the parameters that are the “physical” parameters of the HTTP GET operation. In a HTTP GET all parameters are added to the querystring (?invitecode=abcd).
If you want to access the parameters from the routing (like in your case), you have to use the sfWebRequest->getParameter().
