Question

I have this code in my form builder

->add('user', 'entity', array(
                'class' => 'Acme\Entity\User',
                'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) use ($options) {
                        return $er->createQueryBuilder('u') 
                        ->where('u.id = :id')
                        ->setParameter('id',$options['my'])
                        ->orderBy('u.name', 'ASC');},))

When I echo $options['my'] I get output as 1 inside the builder.
Now when I submit the form, I get NULL as the User object.

But if I use ->setParameter('id',1) then it works fine.

Now if i use this

$options['test'] = 1 inside the build form and use

->setParameter('id',$options['test']) then it also work fine.

But ->setParameter(‘id’,$options[‘my’]) is not working directly. It is echoing fine as 1 in the form , so value is in that variable.

What should I do?

Answer 1

It is a common error of type. 1 is a string in the first case and a int in the second case. Try if this works:

->setParameter('id',intval($options['my']))

Your debug is really good though, but it is better to use var_dump rather than echo. You can also compare the types with gettype().

Compare var_dump($options['my']) with var_dump($options[test']).

Compare gettype($options['my']) with gettype($options['test']).
