Question

How do we specify fields to return in the result, in zend framework 2 using doctrine 2?
Here is my query:

$allLanguages = $this->getEntityManager()
                    ->getRepository('Language')
                    ->findAll();

I just want ‘name’ field in the result from languages table.

I usually use DQL like this to customize query.

    $u = $_GET['u'];
    $query = $this->getEntityManager()->createQuery("SELECT u.username FROM Auth\Entity\User u WHERE u.username LIKE :username AND u.companyID = :companyID ");
    $query->setParameter('username', '%'.$u.'%')
            ->setParameter('companyID', $companyID);

    $users = $query->getResult();

In your case above. It can be somehting like.

$query = $this->getEntityManager()->createQuery("SELECT l.name FROM Langauge l");

$langaugeNames = $query->getResult();
