Question

I am using Doctrine 2 and Zend Framework 1.11. I have set up my Doctrine intergration and it seams to be working in that, I able to get and instance on an Entity Manager to work with. However, I am baffled by the behaviour of the following line in the controller class:

$transfercurrency = $this->entityManager->getRepository('Gesmoney\Entity\Country')->findBy(array('countrycode' => $transfercountry));

When I do a var_dump($transfercurrency), I get an object with a whole bunch of properties, infact, it doesn’t look right to me. I tried to post it on pastie but it will not let me because its more than 100kb. I therefore just pasted about a quarter of it enter link description here. Also using Netbeans there seem to be no properties or methods for the returned object hence when I invoke code complete I get nothing. When I do var_dump($transfercurrency[0]->id), I get the following error;

Notice: Undefined property:
Gesmoney\Entity\Country::$property in
/shared/www/dev.gesmoneylatest.com/library/Gesmoney/Entity/Country.php
on line 55 NULL

Its quite a long post but I hope someone has the answer to my problem. Thanks.

Controller class

<?php

class Systemadmin_ExchangerateController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
/**
 * @var Bisna\Application\Container\DoctrineContainer
 */
protected $doctrine;

/**
 * @var Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager
 */
protected $entityManager;

public function init()
{
    $this->doctrine = Zend_Registry::get('doctrine');
    $this->entityManager = $this->doctrine->getEntityManager();
}

public function indexAction()
{
    // action body
}


public function getexchangerateAction($transfercountry = 'GB') {

    $this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
    $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);

    $transfercurrency = $this->entityManager->getRepository('Gesmoney\Entity      \Country')->findBy(array('countrycode' => $transfercountry));
    var_dump($transfercurrency);
}

}

Entity

<?php

 namespace Gesmoney\Entity;
 /**
 * @Entity @Table(name="countries")
 */
 class Country {
/**
 * @Id @Column(type="integer", length=3, nullable=false) 
 * @GeneratedValue(strategy="IDENTITY")
 * @var integer
 * 
 */
private $id;

/**
 * @Column(type="string", length=25)
 * @var string
 */
private $countryname;

/**
 * @Column(type="datetime")
 * @var string
 */
private $lastupdate;

/**
 * @Column(type="string", length=2)
 * @var string
 */
private $countrycode;

/**
 * @Column(type="string", length=20)
 * @var string
 */
private $countrycurrency;

/**
 * @Column(type="string", length=3)
 * @var string
 */
private $currencycode;


/**
 * @param \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection $property
 * @OneToMany(targetEntity="Region", mappedBy="country", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
 */
private $region;


public function __get($property) {
    return $this->property;
}

public function __set($property, $value) {
    $this->property = $value;
}

}

You forgot the $ on your properties for __get and __set

public function __get($property) {
    return $this->$property;
}

public function __set($property, $value) {
    $this->$property = $value;
}
