Question

I am trying to insert date time in mysql datetime column by using following code but it is not being inserted. while isDelete working fine.

/*
 * 
 * @ORM\Column (type="datetime")
 */
protected $created;   

 /** 
 * @ORM\PrePersist
 */
public function prePersist(){
    $this->created = new \DateTime("now"); 
    $this->isDelete = 0;        
}

Generated schema:

+-----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field     | Type       | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id        | int(11)    | NO   | PRI |         | auto_increment |
| isDeleted | tinyint(4) | YES  |     | 0       |                |
| created   | datetime   | YES  |     |         |                |
+-----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

Any idea?

You’re missing a * after the /* above your protected $created property, so it’s not a docblock comment and ergo isn’t being parsed as an annotation. Thus, the field is not being recognized by Doctrine.

It should read:

/**
 * 
 * @ORM\Column (type="datetime")
 */
protected $created; 

After you fix this, run the Doctrine schema update tool.
