Question

I want to create a user in the database from the PHP controller in Symfony.

I make the user entity with userInterface implementation, add up Security firewall with sha512 encode.

To insert the user I add new route:

user_create:
       pattern: /create_user/{email}/{password}
        defaults: { _controller: MyBundleBackendBundle:Security:create }

And add new method in Security controller:

public function createAction($email,$password) {

}

What code do I use inside the PHP controller action to create a user in the database with sha512 with a salt?

How to add a user in symfony from code:

public function createUserAction($email,$password) {

    $factory = $this->get('security.encoder_factory');

    $user = new User();

    $encoder = $factory->getEncoder($user);
    $user->setSalt(md5(time()));
    $pass = $encoder->encodePassword($password, $user->getSalt());
    $user->setEmail($email);
    $user->setPassword($pass);
    $user->setActive(1); //enable or disable

    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
    $em->persist($user);
    $em->flush();

    return new Response('Sucessful');
