The Definitive Guide to Symfony

// From an action
$this->debugMessage($message, 'err');

// From a view
<?php use_helper('Debug'); debug_message($message) ?>
// or
<?php use_helper('Debug'); log_message($message, 'err') ?>

// From a controller
$this->getLogger()->alert($message);

// From anywhere
echo("<pre>".$message."</pre>\n"); exit();

Get current route name

sfContext::getInstance()->getRouting()->getCurrentRouteName(); #=> 'default_index'
// From controller
$this->getRequest()->getPathInfo(); #=> '/home'

Get Running Environment

sfConfig::get('sf_environment') #=> 'test'

Run a Task in code or test

$task      = new nameOfMyTask($configuration->getEventDispatcher(), new sfFormatter());
$arguments = array();
$options   = array('env' => 'test');
$task->run($arguments, $options); // run the task
