How to use getQuery()->getOneOrNullresult() return - php

Question

in my test project I have 2 entities :
- endUser (extend of FOSUserBundle)
- Rezo (will containt approved relation between two members)
the both entities have been defined as :
EndUser Entity :

when I run :
app/console doctrine:schema:update --force
The following MySQL table has been created :
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `Rezo` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`user_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`friendwith` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`RequestedDate` datetime NOT NULL,
`AcceptedDate` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `IDX_681FC4BA76ED395` (`user_id`),
KEY `IDX_681FC4B1094AD75` (`friendwith`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
In the RezoController.php controller I would like to give to endUser opportunity to accept a contact request fot this I have created a function named : acceptnewrequestAction($id)
public function acceptnewrequestAction($id){
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$rezo = $em->getRepository('CoreGeneralBundle:Rezo')->find($id);
$user1 = $rezo->getEnduser();
$user2 = $rezo->getFriendwith();
$dateRequest = $rezo->getRequestedDate();
$rezo->setAcceptedDate(new \DateTime('now'));
$em->persist($rezo);
$em->flush();
/* check if inverse relation exist */
$query = $em->CreateQuerybuilder();
$query->select('t0.id');
$query->from('CoreGeneralBundle:Rezo','t0');
$query->where('t0.acceptedDate IS NULL');
$query->andWhere('t0.enduser = :userId');
$query->andWhere('t0.friendwith =:userId2');
$query->SetParameters(array('userId'=> $user2, 'userId2'=>$user1));
$result = $query->getQuery()->getOneOrNullResult();
if ( is_object($result))
{
$rezo = $em->getRepository('CoreGeneralBundle:Rezo')->findById($result->getId());
$rezo->setAcceptedDate(new \DateTime('now'));
} else {
$rezo = new Rezo();
$rezo->setRequestedDate(new \Datetime('now'));
$rezo->setAcceptedDate(new \DateTime('now'));
$rezo->Setenduser($user2);
$rezo->setFriendwith($user1);
}
$em->persist($rezo);
$em->flush();
return $this->render(controller('CoreGeneralBundle:Rezo:RezoList'));
}
I would like to know how I can use results to know if one object if found or return is Null and in case it exists update it or create a new one.
thank you for your help

Answer 1

getOneOrNullResult method tells you if any record in database is found, or not.
If it return null, it means that you have some results, and in your case you have to insert new one.
But when it exists some records, this method will return object instance of your entity. That means in your case you have to update existing record.
Please remember, that getOneOrNullResult method throws exception, when result set is not unique.
