inanzzz | Redirecting user to session controlled confirmation page in symfony

Based on what the outcome of a process is, we redirect user to a confirmation, error or notification page and these pages should only be accessed only once. To do this, we're going to use sessions so follow the steps below.

User controller

Assuming that we're creating an user.

class UserCreateController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $form = $this->getForm();

        return $this->render('MyUserBundle:User:user_create.html.twig',
                array('form' => $form->createView()));
    }

    private function getForm()
    {
        return $this->createForm(new UserType(), new User(),
                array('action' => $this->generateUrl('user_create')));
    }

    public function createAction(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->getMethod() != 'POST')
        {
            return new Response('Invalid HTTP request!');
        }

        $form = $this->getForm();
        $form->handleRequest($request);

        if ($form->isValid() !== true)
        {
            return $this->render('MyUserBundle:User:user_create.html.twig',
                    array('form' => $form->createView()));
        }

        try
        {
            $submission = $form->getData();
            $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

            $user = new User();
            $user->setName($submission->getName());
            $user->setOrigin($submission->getOrigin());

            $em->persist($user);
            $em->flush();

            $this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add('notice',
                array('status' => 'success', 'message' => 'User has been successfully created.'));
        }
        catch (Exception $e)
        {
            $this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add('notice',
                array('status' => 'fail', 'message' => 'User has failed.'));
        }

        return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('notice'));
    }
}

Notice controller

This is where user is redirected from User controller above.

class NoticeController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        if ($this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->has('notice') !== true)
        {
            return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('home'));
        }

        return $this->render('MyUserBundle:Default:notice.html.twig');
    }
}

Notice twig file

This is where notice message is displayed.

{% extends '::base.html.twig' %}

{% block body %}
    {% for flashNotice in app.session.flashbag.get('notice') %}
        <div class="flash-notice-{{ flashNotice.status }}">
            {{ flashNotice.message }}
        </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
