I'm trying to output some HTML in an XML template and Symfony's escaping method is messing it up. So I tried making a copy of settings.yml in the module's config folder, but it seems to be completely ignored. Is there an easy way to change the escaping_strategy and/or escaping_method settings per module or even per template? While output escaping is turned on you still have access to the raw value through $sf_data . For example, if the HTML you're trying to output was stored in a variable called html in your action: $this->html = '<b>My HTML</b>'; You could get the unescaped value with this: <

I'm trying to execute some custom SQL to retrieve some model objects in a Symfony application. I found a tutorial on the web that said something like this would allow me to execute the query although not populate the models (populating the model isn't a major issue, it's just for read only data). $pdo = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->connection()->getDbh(); $pdo->prepare("SELECT * from something complicated"); $pdo->execute(); $this->sensorReadings = $pdo->fetchAll(); But I'm getting an error : Fatal error: Call to undefined method PDO::execute() in sfproject/apps/frontend/modules/site

I'd like to change the formatting of a date in Symfony 1.4 The default one being: <?php echo $question->getUpdatedAt(); // Returns 2010-01-26 16:23:53 ?> I'd like my date to be formatted like so: 26/01/2010 - 16h23 I tried using the format_date helper DateHelper class. Unfortunately the API is rather empty (something really needs to be done about it.) Browsing the helper's source code, I found that a second argument, format, can be passed. I assumed it was using the same syntax as PHP's date function . But here's what it outputs (same example as above): <?php sfContext::getInstance()-

How do I delete all session variables at once if they are not in Array? PS I set them this way: $this->getUser()->setAttribute('PayPalTransaction.hash', $request->getParameter('hash')); Regards, Roman The sfUser class (which you get with $this->getUser() ), keeps all it's attributes in a sfNamespacedParameterHolder . So the setAttribute() function on sfUser if merely a proxy to the sfNamespacedParameterHolder::setAttribute() . You can get the reference to this holder with sfUser::getAttributeHolder() . The sfNamespacedParameterHolder also has a function clear() , which clears all attributes.

In symfony 1.4, how to call an action of another application from the current action? There's a blog post about that here: http://symfony.com/blog/cross-application-links There's a plugin for it: https://github.com/rande/swCrossLinkApplicationPlugin And there are some blogposts explaining it: http://rabaix.net/en/articles/2009/05/30/cross-link-application-with-symfony http://rabaix.net/en/articles/2009/07/13/cross-link-application-with-symfony-part-2 (Note: both are for symfony 1.2, but they should also work in 1.4) To route to your frontend to your backend, there are three easy steps: 1.
