Removing the .php extension from Symfony controller

If you wish to shorten your Symfony 1.4 URLs (http://www.yourdomain.com/symfonyApp.php/user/login) by removing the php extension from the controller (http://www.yourdomain.com/symfonyApp/user/login), then read on.

1. Update your factories.yml file and add the relative_url_root option as described below:

all:
  request:
    class: sfWebRequest
    param:
      logging:           %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
      path_info_array:   SERVER
      path_info_key:     PATH_INFO
      relative_url_root: ""
      formats:
        txt:  text/plain
        js:   [application/javascript, application/x-javascript, text/javascript]
        css:  text/css
        json: [application/json, application/x-json]
        xml:  [text/xml, application/xml, application/x-xml]
        rdf:  application/rdf+xml
        atom: application/atom+xml

2. Create a symbolic link in your web directory to your controller:

cd /your/symfony/project/dir/web
ln -s symfonyApp.php symfonyApp

3. Update your apache configuration to set your new default type:

DefaultType application/x-httpd-php

Warning: This means all your text files would be passed through the PHP interpreter! There would be a performance hit depending on the number of static files that your server hosts.

4. Reload Apache configuration

service http reload

You should now be able to make successful requests to your syfmony application by using the shorter URL version.

Securing Symfony2 REST services with FOSOAuthServerBundle

Overview In my previous article, I wrote about setting up a Symfony2 REST service using FOSRestBundle. However, this REST service was behind a firewall protected by a generic form_login provider. Not really ideal if you wish to open your REST API to other applications. So in this article, I will try to explain how to set up FOSOAuthServerBundle to protect your REST API methods using OAuth2. Before we start getting into the gritty details, it is a good idea to have a look at the official OAuth2 documentation . Let's begin... FOSOAuthServerBundle Installation You have to install v1.1.0 of FOSOAuthServerBundle if you are using Symfony 2.0.x. If not, see the docs . First, add the following entries to your deps file: [FOSOAuthServerBundle] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSOAuthServerBundle.git target=bundles/FOS/OAuthServerBundle version=origin/1.1.x [oauth2-php] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/oauth2-php.git Run the vendors script to install these...

Unexpected token "name" of value "if" ("end of statement block" expected) in "WebProfilerBundle:Collector:logger.html.twig"

Encountered this WebProfilerBundle error message when I ran the bin/vendors script to update my Symfony2 bundles. Make sure your deps file is up to date; you need to pay special attention to your version values. In this case, update your twig version to v1.2.0 as illustrated below: [twig] git=http://github.com/fabpot/Twig.git version=v1.2.0 Run the vendors script to update your bundle and the error message should disappear. You can get the most up to date deps file from the symfony-standard repository located at: https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/blob/master/deps

Setting up a Symfony2 REST service with FOSRestBundle

Installation First thing is to download and setup the FOSRestBundle. If you are running Symfony 2.0.x, get the FOSRestBundle version 0.6, otherwise, download the code in the master branch. The FOSRestBundle depends on the JMSSerializerBundle so the following instructions are going to include some extra information for setting up this bundle to complete our REST service. First thing is to install our dependencies. Add the following to your deps file: [metadata] git=http://github.com/schmittjoh/metadata.git version=1.1.0 [JMSSerializerBundle] git=git://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSSerializerBundle.git target=bundles/JMS/SerializerBundle [FOSRest] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRest.git target=fos/FOS/Rest [FOSRestBundle] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle.git target=bundles/FOS/RestBundle version=origin/0.6 Run the vendors script to install these bundles: php bin/vendors install Next, update your app/autoload.php file...
