Symfony2 read parameters

Question

I could not find an answer to my question. I want to get an paramter using a container. I do this like that:

$this->container->getParameter('someParam');

Now I want to have some parameters grouped withing a "namespace" like that:

system:
    CPU: "i7"
    ram: "8gb"

Now I cannot use $this->container->getParameter('system.CPU'); cause it will scream that "system.CPU" parameter is not set.

Any idea how to read nested parameters from controller?

In case of nested parameters you should treat this as an array. So in your case you should read:

$this->container->getParameter('system');

and what you get from it is an array:

array('CPU' => 'i7', 'ram' => '8gb')

The call of $this->container->getParameter('system') will return an

array('CPU' => 'i7', 'ram' => '8gb') so you can use them easily as arrays.
