Symfony Method to Turn Template to String

Question

I use the Symfony PHP MVC framework. I'm using JSON to pass an AJAX response, and I need an action's template HTML to be one of the values passed. Does Symfony have a method along the lines of renderTemplateToString() ?

Even for those unfamiliar with Symfony, is there an obvious way to do this?

Answer 1

Use sfAction::getPartial() and getComponent().
