Symfony2 PUT request data

For the last couple of days I have been trying to create a calm api with Symfony2 (2.5 to be exact). I am building this api according to best practices. So I am using the PUT http method to update the resource. However, with the PUT method, I got a problem. Symfony detects that I am posting data using the PUT method, but the variables I am posting are not found anywhere. Here are some code snippets.

Javascript / jquery ajax call

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://www.adomain.com/app_dev.php/api/account/1',
    type: 'PUT',    
    data: 'name=Sander',
    dataType : 'json',
});

Php route to route.php

$collection->add('testbundle_api_update_account', new Route('/api/account/{id}',
array('_controller' => 'TestBundle:Account:apiUpdateAccount'),
array(), array(), '', array(), array('PUT')));

Function in AccountController

public function apiUpdateAccountAction($id) {
    $request = Request::createFromGlobals();
    var_dump($request->getRealMethod());
    var_dump($request->request->get('name'));
    var_dump($request->query->get('name'));
    die;
}

Outputs

string(3) "PUT"
NULL
NULL

Everything works fine. The route is found, the function is called. But where is the send data? Any ideas?

This problem is addressed by John Smith . This is probably due to the fact that in php, PUT data can only be retrieved once:

parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input', false , null, -1 , $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] ), $_PUT):

In Symfony, this is probably done before calling the function in the controller. So the following doesn't work for PUT:



$request = Request::createFromGlobals();

The following works:

$request = $this->getRequest();

Difference 

var_dump($this->request->getRealMethod());
var_dump($request->request->get('name'));
var_dump($request->query->get('name'));

for the first job you use

$this->request-> ...


for not working,

$request->request-> ...

try everything with $ this-> request -> ...
