Question

is there a way to load data from DB from inside of instantiated model using Doctrine 2.x ?

Implementation in load() method:

$model = new Model();
$model->load($params);

$param = array with key => value pair which will be used to find data in DB, ex.: $param = array('id' => 1)

find() method from Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager doesn’t allow to pass instances and i could not find anything else.

Unfortunately loading data in instantiated object is not possible.

Workaround method is:

public function load($id = 0)
{
    $resultObject = $this->_getEntityManager()->find(get_class($this), $id);

    if ($resultObject) {
        foreach (get_object_vars($resultObject) as $key => $val)
        {
            $this->$key = $val;
        }

        unset($resultObject);
    }

    return $this;
}
