sf_params is your friend… if you’re a Template
So in your templates, you might be tempted to do something crazy like this…
<?php $request->getParameter("parameter_name") ?>
Silly rabbit.
Luckily Symfony, in all its awesomeness, provides a nice variable called $sf_params to make life easier. Try it out:
<?php if ($sf_params->has('param_name')): ?>
<?php echo $sf_params->get('param_name'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Even better:
<?php echo $sf_params->get('param_name','default value'); ?>
