How to access the user object in the form configure method

I'm currently doing this kind fo thing with symfony forms

$this->myForm = new MyForm();
$this->myForm->customConfigureMethod($this->getUser()->getGuardUser());

because I need to configure a DoctriineChoice widget on the basis of the user.

I would rather do this kind of thing

$this->myForm =new myCustomConfiguredForm($this->getUser()->getGuardUser());

With the customisation being part of the form instantiation.

Anyone know how I could achieve this? I think I might be a bit unclear about the difference between the configure() and setup() functions for the forms so can't think clearly about it.

You shpuld pass the user object as an option. Here is an exapmle:

class ProductForm extends BaseProductForm
{
  public function configure()
  { 
    // or use an instance variable if you need the user in an another method too
    $user = $this->getOption('user');

    if (!$user instanceof sfBasicSecurityUser)
    {
      throw new InvalidArgumentException('A user object is required as "user" option in ' . __METHOD__);
    }

    // do something with the user...
  }

}

$form = new ProductForm(array(), array('user' => $this->getUser()));
