Symfony2: Getting the list of user roles in FormBuilder

Question

I\'m making a form for user creation, and I want to give one or several roles to a user when I create him.

How do I get the list of roles defined in security.y

Answer 1

//FormType
use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser;

function getRolesNames(){
        $pathToSecurity = /var/mydirectory/app/config/security.yml
        $yaml = new Parser();
        $rolesArray = $yaml->parse(file_get_contents($pathToSecurity ));

        return $rolesArray['security']['role_hierarchy']['ROLE_USER'];
}

This is so far the best way i found to get or set what i want from config files.

Bon courage
