How to get the request parameters in Symfony 2?

Question

I am very new to symfony. In other languages like java and others I can use request.getParameter(\'parmeter name\') to get the value.

Is there anything

Answer 1

The naming is not all that intuitive:

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

public function updateAction(Request $request)
{
    // $_GET parameters
    $request->query->get('name');

    // $_POST parameters
    $request->request->get('name');
