PUT Form doesn't Update In Symfony 2

Question

I have a form with PUT method

{{ form(formEdit, {'action': path('user_update',{'id':user.id}), 'method': 'PUT'}) }}

And My Action is

/**
     * Edits an existing User entity.
     *
     * @Route("/{id}", name="user_update")
     * @Method("PUT")
     * @Template("foo:User:update.html.twig")
     * @ParamConverter("User", class="foo:User")
     */
    public function updateAction(Request $request,User $user){
        $form = $this->createForm(new UserType(), $user);
        $form->handleRequest($request);
        if ($form->isValid()) {
            $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
            $em->persist($user);
            $em->flush();

            return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('user',array('id' => $user->getId())));
        }


        return array(
            'formEdit' => $form->createView(),
            'user' => $user
        );
    }

My Twig

{{ form(formEdit, {'action': path('user_update',{'id':user.id}),'method':'PUT'}) }}

When I Submitted the form, I haven't any errors. If I Change PUT with POST, the form works. I tried with

    echo $request->getMethod();
    echo $form->getErrorsAsString();

and this is my output

PUT
name: No errors surname: No errors email: No errors gender: 0: No errors 1: No errors submit: No errors name: No errors surname: No errors email: No errors gender: 0: No errors 1: No errors submit: No errors

But I don't understand how can i Catch that error. I'm using Symfony 2.3

Because i'd like to use PUT for update, like REST API restcookbook.com/HTTP%20Methods/put-vs-post — monkeyUser

Can you please add the code that shows how the form is rendered in your twig template? — Alexandru Furculita

See How to Use HTTP Methods beyond GET and POST in Routes. Check http_method_override parameter. — slaur4

Forms can handle only POST and GET requests. You can see here why PUT and DELETE have not been added as form methods.

You can send PUT requests only through AJAX calls.

Thanks, but If i use php app/console generate:doctrine:crud Symfony creates all methods to manage users (for example) In its methods there are even PUT, and it's works. My Code is the same, but doesn't work

Symfony2 will mimic PUT behavior, adding an hidden _method field. OP question is valid
