PHP templates not found in symfony

Question

I am new to symfony and I want to use PHP templating engine. Below are the steps I followed to make it work.

1.Enabled PHP templating engine in config.yml

templating:
    engines: ['twig', 'php']

2.Defined my controller path and defaults in routing.yml

hello:
    path:      /hello/{name}
    defaults:  { _controller: AppBundle:Hello:index, name:World }

3.Created HelloController.php

namespace AppBundle\Controller;

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

class HelloController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction($name)
    {
        return $this->render('hello/name.html.php', array(
            'name'=>$name
        ));
    }
}

4.Created a view \app\Resources\views\Hello\name.html.php

<!-- app/Resources/views/Hello/name.html.php -->
Hello <?php echo $name ?>!

but when I try to access http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello, it shows me below error

The template "hello/name.html.php" does not exist.

500 Internal Server Error - InvalidArgumentException

I changed template folder name from 'Hello' to 'hello' but still same error. Also tried to render template like this

return $this->render(
    'AppBundle:Hello:index.html.php',
    array('name' => $name)
);

but no luck, I must be missing something here. Can someone please guide me to right direction?

Note: hello/name.html.twig is loading without any error

Thank you!

symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/templating/PHP.html this page says that you need to use annotation: /** * @Template(engine="php") */ Did you try to use it? — Grzegorz

If your template is in app/Resources/views/Hello/ folder, you should use this notation:

$response = $this->render(':Hello:name.html.php');

If you would move it to src/AppBundle/Resources/views/Hello folder, then use

$response = $this->render('AppBundle:Hello:name.html.php');
