save user to row from frosuserbundle - php

Question

I got the following error:
Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to Rowoco\AllgemeinBundle\Entity\Place::setIdUser() must
be an instance of Rowoco\AllgemeinBundle\Entity\FosUser, instance of
Rowoco\UserBundle\Entity\User given, called in
/var/www/symfony/src/Rowoco/AllgemeinBundle/Controller/AllgemeinAjaxController.php on line 64 and
defined in /var/www/symfony/src/Rowoco/AllgemeinBundle/Entity/Place.php line 331
In the following function i try to add a new place:
public function test()
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$stateRepo = $em->getRepository( "RowocoAllgemeinBundle:State" );
$stateEntity = $stateRepo->find(1);
$user = $this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();
$place = new Place();
$place->setAdddate( "2014-01-01 12:12:10" );
$place->setTitle( "test" );
$place->setDescription( "testdescription" );
$place->setSpecial( "special" );
$place->setStreet( "strasse" );
$place->setZipcode( "12345" );
$place->setIdState( $stateEntity );
$place->setIdUser( $user );
$em->persist( $place );
$em->flush();
//return new Response('Created product id '.$product->getId());
return true;
}
in the table place i have two foreignkeys
id_state
id_user
how can i fix this error?

Answer 1

Somethings around your code:
First the error is telling you what the problem is and where, take a look at this line:
Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to Rowoco\AllgemeinBundle\Entity\Place::setIdUser()
must be an instance of Rowoco\AllgemeinBundle\Entity\FosUser, instance of
Rowoco\UserBundle\Entity\User
You're passing a complete object to setIdUser() method which BTW expect a FOSUser instance
Second, if you're using Symfony > 2.1.x you should use $this->getUser() and not as you're doing (this is a tip)
As third if you only need to insert the id_user as state in question, why pass the entire object? Why not just pass the current logged in user id? Something like $this->getUser()->getId()?
