Question
Like in classic PHP we use the magic variables to start and create sessions, so how to do that in Symfony?
Solution
In your controller, you can access session variables through the user object.
// Get a session value
$name = $this->getUser()->getAttribute('name', 'default_value');
// Set a session value
$this->getUser()->setAttribute('name', $value);
OTHER TIPS
In Symfony2, the syntax is different:
$session = $this->getRequest()->getSession();
// store an attribute for reuse during a later user request
$session->set('foo', 'bar');
// in another controller for another request
$foo = $session->get('foo');
You can also get session variables from Twig, without having to pass the session variable explicitly (it's in the global 'app'):
{{ app.session.get('foo', 'bar'); }}
