Is there way to use UTF-8 modifer in Symfony2 routing? - symfony

I have following route:
library_filter_by_genre:
path: /library/genre/{genre}/
defaults: { _controller: noxaeternaMainBundle:Library:filterByGenre }
requirements:
genre: "^[-_\w\d]+$"
It of course works excellent, but I need UTF-8 support. So I've thought that adding of modifer will allow me to use UTF-8, but with the u modifer route doesn't work even with English letters and numbers. I see error:
No route found for "GET /library/genre/123abc/"
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help.

Variable in route by default working properly but not visible in URL it typed

Thanks to my URL I can know what language and which article the user is looking for instance: article/id_aritlce/Title_of_article/FR
In case the user doesn't write the url with the language information I settle default value in the routing.yml file.
Site_Article:
path: /article/{id}/{article_title}/{language}
defaults: {_controller: SiteBlogBundle:Blog:article, language: EN}
it is working just fine....
but if I type in the URL article/3/Titleofarticle/EN, then EN disapear from the URL. which is not what I want. (I still get the right page, which is with the EN language being display, but still would like to see it in the URL.)
You can not provide default value for en locale and it always be in url when you type it.
But in this case to enable route /article/{id}/{article_title} without any locale you need to create one more route that will not have this parameter at all. In this case Symfony will choose locale based on your fallback_locale parameter that you set in config.yml
Your routing config must look like this:
Site_Article_With_Locale:
path: /article/{id}/{article_title}/{_locale}
defaults: {_controller: SiteBlogBundle:Blog:article}
Site_Article:
path: /article/{id}/{article_title}
defaults: {_controller: SiteBlogBundle:Blog:article}

How to allow a "?" character in a route parameter in Symfony2?

I would like to know how to allow a "?" character in a route parameter in Symfony2. This is the route that I have (actually, the route parameter I am focusing on is "messtext"):
ikproj_groupe_sendreply1:
pattern: /{groupid}/{receiver}/{messtext}/{cible}/sendreply
defaults: { _controller: IkprojGroupeBundle:Messages:SendReply1 }
requirements:
messtext: .+
In fact, I had a look at this link: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/routing/slash_in_parameter.html which is about how to allow a "/" character in a route parameter in Symfony2. I did what I learnt from that tutorial exactly but the problem is that it doesn't work: Symfony2 still displays this error message:
No route found for "GET /groupe/sendreply/11/28/hello,%20dear%20sir...can%20I%20join%20your%20group"
So, my questions are: what is wrong in my code above and how can I resolve that?
Only 1 parameter of your route may accept '/' character. And this MUST be the last one as every following one are considered as part of the param value... In your case, Symfony routing never detect cible and sendreply parts of the URL.
Try to put messtext param at the very end of the URL :
ikproj_groupe_sendreply1:
pattern: /{groupid}/{receiver}/{cible}/sendreply/{messtext}
defaults: { _controller: IkprojGroupeBundle:Messages:SendReply1 }
requirements:
messtext: .+

Hash escape in URL (routing.yml/path) Symfony 2

I have problem with urls in my Symfony 2.3 aplication.
I have defined routing like this:
home_how_to_buy:
path: /strefa-wiedzy#jak-kupic
defaults:
_controller: FrameworkBundle:Template:template
template: 'GLHomeBundle:Default:faq.html.twig'
The problem is that when I create links for this page I have something like:
app_dev.php/strefa-wiedzy%23jak-kupic
I have been looking for escaping in yml files, but none of those solutions work for my path.
I will be gratefull for any help.
As stated in my answer here the hashtag is not intended to be in symfony routing. You can do the suggested workaround. But first you should consider, do you really need url-fragments in routing?
PHP's rawurlencode() encodes all chars except a-zA-Z0-9-._~ according to RFC 3986. But we want to allow some chars to be used in their literal form (reasons below). Other chars inside the path must of course be encoded, e.g. ? and # (would be interpreted wrongly as query and fragment identifier), ' and " (are used as delimiters in HTML).

Use '+' as a route separator

In the first versions of Sf2 (first Beta's), there was an option, to declare your route separators, like
options: { segment_separators: ['/'] }
But now, it is out of use, and i'm searching the way, to make pretty routes, like:
category:
pattern: /category+{cat}+page{page}
defaults: { _controller: MyPrettyBundle:Category:index }
And now i get this error:
No route found for "GET /category firstcategory page1"
404 Not Found - NotFoundHttpException
1 linked Exception: ResourceNotFoundException
As you can see, '+' is just cutted out of required route.
Any ideas how can i overcome this nasty error?
Fix issues with url decoding!
For URL encoding the + character is used to encode spaces. The URL is decoded before it's parsed, so to use actual + characters in the URL you would have to encode them as %2B:
/category%2Bfirstcategory%2Bpage1
That's not pretty, so using + as separator is not a good idea.

custom regex in route requirements

I'm trying to make a route parameter match an alphanumeric value that's 3 to 15 characters long. Code looks like this:
TestBundle_new:
pattern: /message/new/{name}
defaults: { _controller: TestBundle:Message:new }
requirements:
name: [a-zA-Z0-9]{2,15}
Unfortunately routing.yml fails to load. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to make this work?
You need to add quotes around your pattern.
name: "[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,15}"
