gistfile1.phtml

Twig:
<a href="{{ path('_welcome') }}">Home</a>
 
PHP:
<a href="<?php echo $view['router']->generate('_welcome') ?>">Home</a>
 
 
If more complicated route.
 
Twig:
{# src/Acme/ArticleBundle/Resources/views/Article/recentList.html.twig #}
{% for article in articles %}
    <a href="{{ path('article_show', {'slug': article.slug}) }}">
        {{ article.title }}
    </a>
{% endfor %}
 
PHP:
<!-- src/Acme/ArticleBundle/Resources/views/Article/recentList.html.php -->
<?php foreach ($articles in $article): ?>
    <a href="<?php echo $view['router']->generate('article_show', array('slug' => $article->getSlug()) ?>">
        <?php echo $article->getTitle() ?>
    </a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
 
 
To generate absolute URL:
 
Twig:
<a href="{{ url('_welcome') }}">Home</a>
 
PHP:
<a href="<?php echo $view['router']->generate('_welcome', array(), true) ?>">Home</a>
