symfony2 ajax,javascript - Symfony2 and jquery ajax - Stack Overflow

I am developing an application using Symfony2 and Jquery as a JavaScript FW. I am using Twig for the templates. I render a template from the controller and after making a selection using the cursor in the template I would like the value of the selected tag to be returned to the controller when submitting using a submit button in the mentioned template.

I use the next Jquery function:

$("MatchedTag").click(function ()

{

$(this).toggleClass("highlight");

var IdOfTag = this.id;

$.ajax({

url: "{{ path('AcmeAcmeBundle_myaction') }}",

type: "POST",

data: { "tag_id" : idOfTag },

success: function(data) {

//(success) do something...

//variable "data" contains data returned by the controller.

}

});

});

I guess in the controller, in myaction I should use something like $_POST["tag_id"] or getrequest() , bindrequest() to get the value but I dont really know how. Could someone give me an example. Thanks.
