Find current Doctrine database connection settings in symfony

Question

I need to know the database name and database server name inside a symfony project. How can one access the current database connection settings programmatically in symfony (using Doctrine)?

Answer 1

for example:

foreach(Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->getConnections() as $connection){
  $conn = $connection->getOptions();
  preg_match('/host=(.*);/', $conn['dsn'], $host);
  var_dump($host);
}
