taken from the symfony doc sf 2.5 (also tested with sf 2.3):
form type:
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options){ $builder ->add('task') ->add('dueDate', null, array('mapped' => false)) ->add('save', 'submit');}controller:
$form->get('dueDate')->getData();$form->get('dueDate')->setData(new \DateTime());http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/forms.html#creating-form-classes (scroll down a little bit)
