How to use Symfony get/setAttribute on nested Session Attributes?

Question

I have a sfuser/attributes looking like this:

session:
 symfony/user/sfUser/attributes: {
    symfony/user/sfUser/attributes:{
        15:{
            Telefon:'+304994994994',
            option:'15',
            rules:'12',
            arrayBunch:[{
              this: 'da',
              that: "where"
            }]
        },
        17:{...},
        mysetting: "val"
    },
    sfGuardSecurityUser:{},
    admin_module:{},
    sfGuardUserSwitcher:{}
}}

When i use setAttribute("mysetting", "val") they stores mysetting like show on my example. It is therefore unnecessary to use setAttribute("mysetting", "val", 15) because i got the same answer.

How can i access the nodes 15 or arrayBunch an use setAttribute to input a value there or getAttribute to get'em?

Are you sure about setAttributes? Because sfUser doesn't have setAttributes but has a setAttribute. — j0k

~~I think you are doing it in a wrong way (about parameters).~~

What you want to do is:

add a variable called val

with the value 15

in the namespace mysetting.

But, you have written parameters in a wrong order.

If you check the code, parameters are :

public function setAttribute($name, $value, $ns = null)

So you should try:

->setAttribute('val', 15, 'mysetting');

Edit: (sorry didn't notice the arrayBunch problem)

If you want to edit the arrayBunch value:

// retrieve the current value $arrayBunch = $this->getUser()->getAttribute("arrayBunch", array(), 15); // made some modification $arrayBunch['toto'] = 'titi'; $arrayBunch['this'] = 'do'; // put back the modification $this->getUser()->setAttribute("arrayBunch", $arrayBunch, 15);

Edit:

With a closer look to your json, you should retrieve the whole attribute 15, since the namepsace is the default one: symfony/user/sfUser/attributes. So:

$attribute15 = $this->getUser()->getAttribute(15);
$arrayBunch  = $attribute15['arrayBunch'];

And if you want to apply some changes:

// update arrayBunch
$arrayBunch['this'] = 'dada';
// do not forget to re-add modified arraybBunch to the whole variable
$attribute15['arrayBunch'] = $arrayBunch

// and if you want to add a value
$attribute15['mysetting'] = 'val';

// then, save every thing to the session again
$this->getUser()->setAttribute(15, $attribute15);

in my example "15" is a namespace right? can i set a new value to this namespace with your example?

Well, you cannot assign a value to a namespace. You can assign variable which containt a value: ->setAttribute('my_variable', 'my_value', 'mysetting');

There is no way to insert a new 'my_variable': 'my_value' after 'array_bunch' into 15 ??

'array_bunch' is just a variable name!

Oh i got it!! :) To retrieve: $arrayBunch = sfContext::getInstance()->getUser()->getAttribute(15);; and then $arrayBunch['arrayBunch']; to get the array. I have not Test to made modification... can u update ur Post with that? so i can mark yours as an Answer? ;)
