Question

I am processing a submitted Zend Form which updates a Doctrine Record using the following code, where $query is a query built using a doctrine query builder:

$record_array = $query->getResult();
$this->_record = $record_array[0];
if($this->getRequest()->isPost())
    {
        if ($this->_form->isValid($this->_request->getPost()))
        {
            $newEntity = $this->_form->update($this->_record);
            $this->_em->flush(); 
            $this->view->success = 'Record Saved.';
        } else {
            $this->view->errors = $this->_form->getErrors();
        }        
    }

The above works fine if there are no integers in the record, i.e. only strings. However, I get the error above if I include fields on the form which are mapped as integers in the doctrine entity.

Any help would be appreciated.

Above is the entity.
The issue comes when I try to update an integer field.

Answer 1

are you using MySQL? this can happen because MySQL is running in strict mode.
run these queries from phpMyAdmin or whatever db administrator you are using to check if the database is in strict mode:

SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;
SELECT @@SESSION.sql_mode;

if it returns something containing STRICT_TRANS_TABLES you could try and run:

SET @@global.sql_mode= 'NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';
