Question

I want to add a boolean value to my Entity.

It looks like this:

namespace MyModule\MyClass\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Zend\Form\Annotation as Form;
/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="mymodule_myclass")
 * @Form\Name("myclass")
 * @Form\Attributes({ "class": "form-horizontal" })
*/
class MyClass

 ...

 /**
 * @ORM\Column(type="boolean")
 * @Form\Attributes({"type":"checkbox"})
 * @Form\Options({"label":"Revised"})
 *
 */
protected $revised = false;

Of course I want to display this variable as a checkbox. So I added the @Form\Attributes.

Unfortunately I get a

“NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error”

Any ideas why that is and what I can do to fix it?

BTW: Altering the type attribute manually per Firebug turns the input field into a checkbox…

The solution is to use Zend-Checkbox and not change the type of the input.

/**
 * @ORM\Column(type="boolean")
 * @Form\Options({"label":"My Boolean*"})
 * @Form\Type("Zend\Form\Element\Checkbox")
 */
protected $my_bool;
