Can I get the domain of a request with silex

Question

I want to create one silex application that listens to requests to routes to two domains. Depending on the domain the response should be different. I know I can simply inject a Request object and use that to get the host from, but I'd like to use a nicer way like this, but using Silex.

Is this possible and if so: how?

Answer 1

This is not a bad question - I ended up here looking for a quick answer myself.

It turns out to be rather easy - you just need your instance of the Symfony Request which provides access to the following method:

$base_url = $request->getHost();
$app['monolog']->notice('Base path result', ['base_url' => $base_url])

My result:

[2016-02-19 10:04:15] api.INFO: Base path result [] {"base_url":"api-test.xonadu.com"}

I hope that's useful :)

Answer 2

It should be as easy as calling the host() method for each route (you can also do that on an entire ControllerCollection instance for all its routes) like so:

<?php

// initialization, etc.

$app->get('/', function() {
  return new Response("Only from my.host.com!");
})
->host('my.host.com')
;
