Find current Doctrine database connection settings in symfony

I need to know the database name and database server name inside a symfony project. How can one access the current database connection settings programmatically in symfony (using Doctrine)?

for example:

foreach(Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->getConnections() as $connection){
$conn = $connection->getOptions();
preg_match('/host=(.*);/', $conn['dsn'], $host);
var_dump($host);
}


Assuming you have the EntityManager as $this->em

$this->em

Get Doctrine Database Name from Symfony2:

$this->em->getConnection()->getDatabase();


Get Doctrine Host Name (Server Name) from Symfony2:

$this->em->getConnection()->getHost();


There are many other parameters you can access from the connection such as username, port and password. See the connection class for more info

username

port

password

The dbname in the dsn for a specific conexion:

databases.yml

all:
conexion1:
class: sfDoctrineDatabase
param:
dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=basegestion1'
username: miusuario
password: ********
conexion2:
class: sfDoctrineDatabase
param:
dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=baseestadisticas1'
username: miusuario
password: ********


In the Action:

$mConexion1Options = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->getConnection('conexion1')->getOptions();
preg_match('/dbname=(.*)/', $mConexion1Options['dsn'], $mDbConexion1);


Then, the dbname is:

echo $mDbConexion1[1]; //basegestion1


Use this code:

$myConnection = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->getConnection('doctrine')->getOptions();
$dsnInfo = $this->parseDsn($myConnection['dsn']);
$settings = array();
$settings['dbUser'] = (string) $myConnection["username"];
$settings['dbPassword'] = (string) $myConnection["password"];
$settings['dbHost'] = (string) $dsnInfo["host"];
$settings['dbName'] = (string) $dsnInfo['dbname'];


private function parseDsn ($dsn)
{
$dsnArray = array();
$dsnArray['phptype'] = substr($dsn, 0, strpos($dsn, ':'));
preg_match('/dbname = (w+)/', $dsn, $dbname);
$dsnArray['dbname'] = $dbname[1];
preg_match('/host = (w+)/', $dsn, $host);
$dsnArray['host'] = $host[1];

return $dsnArray;
}


Try this one

$conn = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->getConnection('doctrine')->getOptions();

$dns_array = split(';', $conn['dsn']);
preg_match('/host=(.*);/', $dns_array, $dbhost);
preg_match('/dbname=(.*)/', $dns_array, $dbname);

$dbname = $dbname;
$dbhost = $dbhost;
$dbuser = $conn['username'];
$dbpass = $conn['password'];


Updated

As Function split() is deprecated so here is recommended way.

Function split() is deprecated

$dns_array = explode(';', $conn['dsn']);
preg_match('/host=(.*)/', $dns_array[0], $dbhost);
preg_match('/dbname=(.*)/', $dns_array[2], $dbname);

$dbhost = $dbhost[1];
$dbname = $dbname[1];
$dbuser = $conn['username'];
$dbpass = $conn['password'];
