Question

I have following repository:

    public function findClassPhotoByPath($path)
{
    return $this->getEntityManager()
        ->createQuery('SELECT p FROM KSRGalleryBundle:Photo p WHERE p.category = :category AND p.path = :path')
        ->setParameters(array('category' => 'class_photo', 'path' => $path))
        ->setMaxResults(1)
        ->getResult();
}

When I now use this repository-method the object is inside an array and I have to access it through $photo[0].

Is it possible to fetch the direct directly how it is the case by findOneBy()?

Best Regards,

Answer 1

You can use getSingleResult(). Also check here for other options.

Edit:

If you don’t want catch the NoResultException you can also use getOneOrNullResult() method.
