Symfony doc says:
During each request, Symfony2 will set a global template variable app
in both Twig and PHP template engines by default. The app variable is
a GlobalVariables instance which will give you access to some
application specific variables automatically:
app.security – The
security context.
app.user – The current user object.
app.request – The request object.
app.session – The session
object.
app.environment – The current environment (dev, prod,
etc).
app.debug – True if in debug mode. False otherwise.
Examples:
In twig: {{ app.request.method }}
In PHP: echo $app->getRequest()->getMethod()
In twig: {{ app.user.username }}
But for the session object:
In twig: {{ app.session.varname }}
In PHP: // I don't know, do you know how to call it?
I’ve tried: $session = $app->getSession('uid'); but when I try to store it to a database it tells me:
Catchable Fatal Error: Object of class
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session could not be converted to
string in C:\wamp\www…
There’s a lack of resources when it comes to PHP templates, but in my case I can’t switch for some reasons.
The question in other words, what is the equivalent in PHP templating of:
{{ app.session.varname }}?
In twig:
{{ app.session.varname }}In PHP:
echo $app->getSession()->get('uid');
