How to get form values in Symfony2 controller

Question

I am using a login form on Symfony2 with the following controller code

public function loginAction(Request $request)
{
    $user = new SiteUser();
    $form          


        

Answer 1

I got it working by this:

if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
    $username = $request->request->get('username');
    $password = $request->request->get('password');

    // Do something with the post data
}

You need to have the Request $request as a parameter in the function too! Hope this helps.
