Symfony 3: in controller action, set a new request param then redirect

Question

In a Symfony 3 controller action, I add a parameter to the request and then send it to another controller action via 307 redirect.

/**
 * @Route("/first", name="my_first_action")
 */
public function firstAction(Request $request)
{
    $request->request->set('new_param', 1);

    dump($request->request->all()); // new param is present

    return $this->redirectToRoute('my_second_action', [
        'request' => $request
    ], 307);
}

After redirect the new parameter is not in the request.

/**
 * @Route("/second", name="my_second_action")
 */
public function secondAction(Request $request)
{
    dump($request->request->all()); // new param is not present
    exit;
}

How do I add a parameter to the request so that it is available when the request gets passed to a new action via 307 redirect?

You can't pass objects like that in the redirect. But you can send you parameters in the array and handle them in the receiving route like so:

/**
 * @Route("/first", name="my_first_action")
 */
public function firstAction(Request $request)
{
    return $this->redirectToRoute('my_second_action', [
        'new_param' => 1
    ], 307);
}

/**
 * @Route("/second/{new_param}", name="my_second_action")
 */
public function secondAction($new_param)
{
    dump($new_param));  // Either dump or use the parameter
    exit;
}

If you need more parameters, you can just add them to the Route.
