Symfony - how to generate url with parameters in controller

Question

I want to generate a url like ../profile/firstname.lastname

But i don't understand how i can do this because i want in my php also the id from the user.

this is my controller:

       $controllers
            ->match('profile/{firstname.lastname}/', array($this, 'profile'))
            ->assert('userId', '\d+')
            ->method('GET|POST')
            ->before(array($this, 'checkLogin'))
            ->bind('home.profile');

Could you provide a bit more code to help explain the problem you're trying to solve? Where is this code being called? — Jay Sheth

Where did you put that code and what exactly do you want to achieve. Please describe the problem more detailed. You want to generate a URL in a controller-action to ... ? What is that $controllers variable in your code example - the @router service ... or what? — Nicolai Fröhlich

You have to build your Route like this

<route id="profile" path="/profile/{first_name}.{last_name}">
        <default key="_controller">...</default>
    </route>

And in controller create like this

$this->generateUrl('profile', [ 'first_name' => 'skowron', 'last_name' => 'line' ]);

but if you have 2 profiles with this same data it will give you bad results. Then you can create slug or add id parameter to your route

Symfony uses Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGenerator::generate() to generate paths. But probably the path is not defined in your routing system. So you must create an instance of it and pass a RouteCollection which only contains tha path you want and it does not seem to be a good method.

It's better to use preg_replace.
