twigHow to use a Twig variable in PHP?

Using a Twig variable in PHP is possible by using the Twig_Environment class. This class allows you to render a Twig template and get the output as a string.

$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem('/path/to/templates');
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);

$template = $twig->load('template.twig');
$output = $template->render(array('name' => 'Fabien'));

The output of the above code will be the rendered Twig template with the name variable replaced with Fabien.
