Symfony2 $request->request is emtpy <p>I have a page with two forms that can be submitted separately. I tried <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12022166/symfony-post-variable-always-empty">this approach</a> to check which form was submitted, but $request->request is always an empty array. What am I missing?</p> <pre><code>public function submitAction(Request $request) { $dm = $this-&gt;get('doctrine_mongodb')-&gt;getManager(); $processes = $dm-&gt;getRepository('MyCoreBundle:Process')-&gt;findAll(); $formClients = $this-&gt;createForm(new FiltersFormType(), $processes); $formClients-&gt;handleRequest($request); $formSuppliers = $this-&gt;createForm(new SupplierFormType(), $processes); $formSuppliers-&gt;handleRequest($request); } </code></pre> <p>Edit: it's being posted via GET</p>
