The field data can be accessed in a controller with  Listing 12-34   form- gt get  dueDate  - gt getData      In addition  the data of an unmapped field can also be modified directly  Listing 12-35   form- gt get  dueDate  - gt setData new  DateTime       page 164 symfony2 book generated on October 9  2013

The form post values are stored under the name of the form in the request  For example  if you ve overridden the getName   method of ContactType   to return  contact   you would do this    postData    request- gt request- gt get  contact     name value    postData  name      If you re still having trouble  try doing a var dump   on  request- gt request- gt all   to see all the post values

I think that in order to get the request data  bound and validated by the form object  you must use     form- gt getClientData

Symfony 2 2 this solution is deprecated since 2 3 and will be removed in 3 0  see documentation  form- gt getData     gives you an array for the form parameters from symfony2 book page 162  Chapter 12  Forms        sometimes  you may just want to use a form without a class  and get back an array of the submitted data  This is actually really easy  public function contactAction Request  request       defaultData   array  message    gt   Type your message here       form    this- gt createFormBuilder  defaultData    - gt add  name    text     - gt add  email    email     - gt add  message    textarea     - gt getForm      if   request- gt getMethod       POST          form- gt bindRequest  request          data is an array with  quot name quot    quot email quot   and  quot message quot  keys      data    form- gt getData                 render the form    You can also access POST values  in this case  quot name quot   directly through the request object  like so   this- gt get  request  - gt request- gt get  name     Be advised  however  that in most cases using the getData   method is a better choice  since it returns the data  usually an object  after it s been transformed by the form framework  When you want to access the form token  you have to use the answer of Problematic  postData    request- gt request- gt get  contact    because the getData   removes the element from the array  Symfony 2 3 since 2 3 you should use handleRequest instead of bindRequest    form- gt handleRequest  request    see documentation

There is one trick with ParameterBag  get   method  You can set  deep parameter to true and access the required deep nested value without extra variable    request- gt request- gt get  form some  deep  data    null  true     Also you have possibility to set a default value  2nd parameter of get   method   it can avoid redundant isset  form  some    deep    data    call
