Get the environment inside the controller

I have a situation in one of my controllers that should only be accessed through AJAX, I have the following code.

if (!$request->isXmlHttpRequest()) { $response = new Response(); $response->setContent('AJAX requests only!'); return $response; }

When I test, this gives me a problem because the request was not actually made through AJAX. Then it interrupts my tests every time. How do I work on this?

My ideas:

  • I tried to set the server header, but had no success.
  • Check if I am in the test environment in the controller and do not check it. I know this is dirty, but it will work .: - / The problem was that I could not understand how to find out in which environment I live.

Does anyone have any other ideas or tips that I don’t have enough to work on one of the above?

Considering the isXmlHttpRequest code in the Request class and the getHeaders method in the ServerBag class, the code snippet below should do the trick:

 $client->request( 'GET', '/path/to/test', array(), array(), array( 'HTTP_X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest', ) );

I have not tested it personally, but I think it should work. The line of code below in Request used to check if the HTTP request is XmlHttpRequest .

 return 'XMLHttpRequest' == $this->headers->get('X-Requested-With');

In the code, $this->headers installed using:

 $this->headers = new HeaderBag($this->server->getHeaders());

The getHeaders method creates an array of headers. Each server variable starting with HTTP_ , plus some special server variables, such as CONTENT_TYPE , are placed in this array.

Hope this helps.

Of course, in the case of Icode4food it is better to use the Matt solution, but here's how to find the current environment:

 $this->container->getParameter('kernel.environment')
