How to Disable the Validation of Submitted Data

Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 4.x, which is no longer maintained.

Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 7.2 (the current stable version).

Sometimes it is useful to suppress the validation of a form altogether. For these cases you can set the validation_groups option to false:

        1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
        use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver): void
{
    $resolver->setDefaults([
        'validation_groups' => false,
    ]);
}
    

Note that when you do that, the form will still run basic integrity checks, for example whether an uploaded file was too large or whether non-existing fields were submitted.

The submission of extra form fields can be controlled with the allow_extra_fields config option and the maximum upload file size should be handled via your PHP and web server configuration.
