Control the Redirect URL from inside the Form

You can also override where the user is redirected to via the form itself by

including a hidden field with the name ``_target_path``. For example, to

redirect to the URL defined by some ``account`` route, use the following:

..configuration-block::

..code-block::html+twig

{# src/AppBundle/Resources/views/Security/login.html.twig #}

{% if error %}

<div>{{ error.message }}</div>

{% endif %}

<form action="{{ path('login') }}" method="post">

<label for="username">Username:</label>

<input type="text" id="username" name="_username" value="{{ last_username }}" />

<label for="password">Password:</label>

<input type="password" id="password" name="_password" />

<input type="hidden" name="_target_path" value="account" />

<input type="submit" name="login" />

</form>

..code-block::html+php

<!-- src/AppBundle/Resources/views/Security/login.html.php -->

<?php if ($error): ?>

<div><?php echo $error->getMessage() ?></div>

<?php endif ?>

<form action="<?php echo $view['router']->generate('login') ?>" method="post">

<label for="username">Username:</label>

<input type="text" id="username" name="_username" value="<?php echo $last_username ?>" />

<label for="password">Password:</label>

<input type="password" id="password" name="_password" />

<input type="hidden" name="_target_path" value="account" />

<input type="submit" name="login" />

</form>

Redirecting on Login Failure

Now, the user will be redirected to the value of the hidden form field. The

value attribute can be a relative path, absolute URL, or a route name. You

can even change the name of the hidden form field by changing the ``target_path_parameter``

option to another value.

In addition to redirecting the user after a successful login, you can also set

the URL that the user should be redirected to after a failed login (e.g. an

invalid username or password was submitted). By default, the user is redirected

back to the login form itself. You can set this to a different route (e.g.

``login_failure``) with the following config:

..configuration-block::

..code-block::xml

<form action="{{ path('login') }}" method="post">

<label for="username">Username:</label>

<input type="text" id="username" name="_username" value="{{ last_username }}" />

<label for="password">Password:</label>

<input type="password" id="password" name="_password" />

<input type="hidden" name="_target_path" value="account" />

<input type="hidden" name="_failure_path" value="login" />

<input type="submit" name="login" />

</form>

..code-block::html+php

<!-- src/AppBundle/Resources/views/Security/login.html.php -->

<?php if ($error): ?>

<div><?php echo $error->getMessage() ?></div>

<?php endif ?>

<form action="<?php echo $view['router']->path('login') ?>" method="post">

<label for="username">Username:</label>

<input type="text" id="username" name="_username" value="<?php echo $last_username ?>" />

<label for="password">Password:</label>

<input type="password" id="password" name="_password" />

<input type="hidden" name="_target_path" value="account" />

<input type="hidden" name="_failure_path" value="login" />

<input type="submit" name="login" />

</form>

Now, the user will be redirected to the value of the hidden form field. The

value attribute can be a relative path, absolute URL, or a route name.

You can even change the name of the hidden form field by changing the

``target_path_parameter`` and ``failure_path_parameter`` options to another

value.
