如何在Symfony2中启用会话？

Question

I would like to enable session in Symfony2, but I don't know how can I do that.

I set my config file like this:

#app/config/config.yml
framework:
    session:
        name:             session
        cookie_lifetime:  0
        cookie_httponly:  true

But it seems to my session is still disabled and not started. I tested this code in my controller:

echo ( session_status() !== PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE )
    ? "Session is not started!"
    : "Session OK";

And it return "Session is not started!". It works only when I set:

if (session_status() == PHP_SESSION_NONE) {
    session_start();
}

But this is very ugly solution, especially that I am working in Symfony2. Do you have any ideas?

You don't need to acitivate it, it's set per default with symfony.

The default entry is this:

framework:
    session: ~

You also don't need to start a new session (in fact you'll receive an error because it's already started from symfony).

The Syntax is a bit different by now

Controller

$session = $this->get('session');

Twig

app.session

Old Version:

You just need to get the session in your controller from the Request!

$session = $this->getRequest()->getSession();

That's all.

In Twig you can access it via

app.request.session
