PHP Symfony duplicate routes

Question

How can I create duplicate routes?

I want to have SEO and user friendly routing like:

But how does Symfony know which one to render? It now defaults to the last definition.

/p/{product.slug} and /c/{category.slug} is user friendly enough, isn't? — Federkun

@Federkun I prefer avoiding the unnecessary nested path since this is better for SEO. — Tim

I'm pretty sure that google doesn't mind, but if you really need to do it you can create a route like /{product_or_category} and then forward the request to ProductController or (if product is not found) CategoryController — Federkun

/{product_or_category} isn't a good structure either: what if you have a category with the same name of a product? what would you render? — Federkun

Have a look here: stackoverflow.com/a/10438844. I guess the edit part is what you need. — Dan Costinel

You can create you route with two variables:

/{type}/{slug}

type would be productor category

Or, if you want only one variable, you can adapt your function depending on the value passed by URL.
