Aaron Belchamber — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 17:25:09 +0000

Sometimes it’s useful to access Twig templates from a Symfony repository, one could argue that this goes against a repository’s role, but if you think of Twig template files or Twig strings perhaps grabbed from a database as data, then this coincides nicely with the function of a repo. These arguments aside, whatever your situation, […]

Symfony: Re-authenticate FOS user automatically without making users log back in

Aaron Belchamber — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:25:05 +0000

Integrating a WordPress user login with Symfony is pretty painless if you need to share user sessions. Just don’t rely solely on that WordPress cookie, but cross reference a randomly assigned hash that can reference back to the WordPress user’s table.

The Symfony documentation is getting better, but it still lacks more detail, which is why I’ve been collecting helpful tips and snippets here. According to the Symfony docs, by default, the “redirectToRoute()" method performs a 302 (temporary) redirect, so in order to specify a 301 (permanent) redirect, you can add the third argument in this […]

Here is an example of a simple DQL query in a custom repository method meant to return a single array result.

Symfony & Doctrine: Using try… catch to determine success or failure of database insert or update action

Aaron Belchamber — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:11:48 +0000

In Doctrine, there is no simple way to access the Doctrine object and get the status of the last attempt at inserting or updating the database. To overcome this glaring limitation of the DBAL (Database Abstraction Layer), we have to resort to older PHP techniques like using a try… catch condition. Seems like a lot […]
