Symfony PUT method

I want send data via PUT method, my controller action:

public function updateTestAction(Request $request)
{
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $progress = $em->getRepository('CodeCatsPanelBundle:Progress')->find(5);
    //$form = $this->createForm(new ProgressType(), $progress, array('method' => 'PUT'))->add('submit', 'submit');
    $form = $this->createForm(new ProgressType(), $progress)->add('submit', 'submit');

    $form->handleRequest($request);

    return $this->render('CodeCatsPanelBundle:Progress:test.html.twig', [
        'form' => $form->createView(),
        'valid' => $form->isValid(),
        'progress' => $progress,
        'request' => $request
    ]);
}

the first one form works correct, but when I change method to PUT I receive validation error:

This form should not contain extra fields.

I know that Symfony2 use post and extra hidden field _method but how to valid data in this case?

Most browsers do not support sending PUT and DELETE requests via the method attribute in an HTML form.

Fortunately, Symfony provides you with a simple way of working around this limitation.

Symfony 3

  1. Enable http-method-override

In web/app.php:

Request::enableHttpMethodParameterOverride(); // add this line
  1. Choose one of the following override:

In a Twig Template

{# app/Resources/views/default/new.html.twig #}
{{ form_start(form, {'action': path('target_route'), 'method': 'GET'}) }}

In a Form

form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(), $task, array(
    'action' => $this->generateUrl('target_route'),
    'method' => 'GET',
));

In a Controller / the lazy way

$form = $this->createFormBuilder($task)
    ->setAction($this->generateUrl('target_route'))
    ->setMethod('GET')
    ->add('task', 'text')
    ->add('dueDate', 'date')
    ->add('save', 'submit')
    ->getForm();

Post-Symfony 2.2

Same as above, just Step 2, Step 1 is done by default.

Pre-Symfony 2.2

Same as above, Step 1 and 2.

just add a hidden input in your template like:

<form action='your route'>
  <input type='hidden' name='_method' value='PUT'>
  //do something.......
</form>

in your action:

public function updateTestAction(Request $request)
{
   $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
   $progress = $em->getRepository('CodeCatsPanelBundle:Progress')->find(5);
   $form = $this->createForm(new ProgressType(), $progress)->add('submit', 'submit');

   $form->handleRequest($request);

   if ($form->isValid()){
     //do something
   }

   return $this->render('CodeCatsPanelBundle:Progress:test.html.twig', [
       'form' => $form->createView(),
       'valid' => $form->isValid(),//you need this? 
       'progress' => $progress,
       'request' => $request
   ]);
}

in your route config file:

 yourRouteName:
    path:      /path
    defaults:  { _controller: yourBundle:XX:updateTest }
    requirements: 
      _method: [PUT]
