Setting up a manytomany relationship in Doctrine - php

Question

I have a Property:
(Note: the legacy_id was not my doing and is now ingrained in the app so can't be changed at this time)
<?php
namespace Entity\Beaverusiv;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
/**
* Entity\Beaverusiv\Property
*
* #ORM\Entity()
* #ORM\Table(name="properties", indexes={#ORM\Index(name="fk_properties_smoking_options1_idx", columns={"smoking_id"}), #ORM\Index(name="fk_properties_linen_options1_idx", columns={"linen_id"}), #ORM\Index(name="fk_properties_pets_options1_idx", columns={"pets_id"}), #ORM\Index(name="fk_properties_property_city1_idx", columns={"city_id"})})
*/
class Property
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
protected $legacy_id;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="FeaturesOption", mappedBy="properties")
*/
protected $featuresOptions;
public function __construct()
{
$this->featuresOptions = new ArrayCollection();
}
/**
* Set the value of id.
*
* #param integer $id
* #return \Entity\Beaverusiv\Property
*/
public function setId($id)
{
$this->id = $id;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get the value of id.
*
* #return integer
*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**
* Set the value of legacy_id.
*
* #param integer $legacy_id
* #return \Entity\Beaverusiv\Property
*/
public function setLegacyId($legacy_id)
{
$this->legacy_id = $legacy_id;
return $this;
}
/**

/**

public function addFeaturesOption(FeaturesOption $featuresOption)

}
/**

*/
public function getFeaturesOptions()
{
return $this->featuresOptions;
}
}
And FeaturesOption:
<?php
namespace Entity\Beaverusiv;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
/**
* Entity\Beaverusiv\FeaturesOption
*
* #ORM\Entity()

*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="integer", nullable=true)
*/
protected $display_order;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=200, nullable=true)
*/
protected $text;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="integer", nullable=true)
*/
protected $status;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Property", inversedBy="featuresOptions")
* #ORM\JoinTable(name="properties_features",
* joinColumns={#ORM\JoinColumn(name="feature_id", referencedColumnName="id")},

* )
*/
protected $properties;
public function __construct()
{
$this->properties = new ArrayCollection();
}
/**
* Set the value of id.
*
* #param integer $id
* #return \Entity\Beaverusiv\FeaturesOption
*/
public function setId($id)
{
$this->id = $id;
return $this;
}
/**

*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**

*
* #param integer $display_order
* #return \Entity\Beaverusiv\FeaturesOption
*/
public function setDisplayOrder($display_order)
{
$this->display_order = $display_order;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get the value of display_order.
*
* #return integer
*/
public function getDisplayOrder()
{
return $this->display_order;
}
/**
* Set the value of text.
*
* #param string $text
* #return \Entity\Beaverusiv\FeaturesOption
*/
public function setText($text)
{
$this->text = $text;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get the value of text.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getText()
{
return $this->text;
}
/**

*

*/
public function setStatus($status)

$this->properties[] = $property;
return $this;
}
/**

*
* #return \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection
*/
public function getProperties()
{
return $this->properties;
}
}
And the pivot:
<?php
namespace Entity\Beaverusiv;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**

*

class PropertiesFeature
{
/**

* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
protected $feature_id;
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
protected $property_id;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="FeaturesOption", inversedBy="propertiesFeatures")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="feature_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=false)
*/
protected $featuresOption;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Property", inversedBy="propertiesFeatures")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="property_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=false)
*/
protected $property;
public function __construct()
{
}
/**

public function setFeatureId($feature_id)
{

return $this;

/**

public function setPropertyId($property_id)
{

return $this;
}
/**

public function getPropertyId()
{
return $this->property_id;
}
/**

* #return \Entity\Beaverusiv\PropertiesFeature
*/
public function setFeaturesOption(FeaturesOption $featuresOption = null)
{
$this->featuresOption = $featuresOption;
$this->feature_id = $featuresOption->getId();
return $this;
}
/**

*

public function getFeaturesOption()
{

}
/**

* #return \Entity\Beaverusiv\PropertiesFeature
*/
public function setProperty(Property $property = null)
{
$this->property = $property;
$this->property_id = $property->getLegacyId();
return $this;
}
/**

*/
public function getProperty()
{
return $this->property;
}
}
I am having to bring in data from an older DB, like this:
<?php
public function sync()
{
$persist_count = 0; // Keep track of home many properties are ready to be flushed
$flush_count = 20; // Persist and flush the properties in groups of...
$i = 0;
$CI =& get_instance();
$legacy_properties = null;
while ($legacy_properties !== false)
{
$legacy_properties = $this->doctrine->mssql
->getRepository('Entity\MSSQL\TblProperty')
->getProperties($i, $flush_count);
if (count($legacy_properties)===0)
{
break;
}
foreach ($legacy_properties as $legacy_property)
{
// Legacy ID
$legacy_id = $legacy_property['propertyID'];
// Lets see if this property already exists in the new database. If it does, we'll just use that.
$property = $this->doctrine->em
->getRepository('Entity\Beaverusiv\Property')
->findOneBy(array(
'legacy_id' => $legacy_id
));
// If the property from the legacy database does not exist in the new database, let's add it.
if (! $property)
{
$property = new Entity\Beaverusiv\Property; // create a new property instance
$property->setLegacyId($legacy_id);
}
// Update property details
// Set all the other Property fields
$legacy_features = $this->doctrine->mssql
->getRepository('Entity\MSSQL\TblProperty')
->findOneBy(array('propertyID' => $legacy_id))
->getTblPropertyFeaturesJoins();
foreach ($legacy_features as $legacy_feature) {
$feature_id = $legacy_feature->getTblPropertyFeature()->getFeatureID();
$feature = $this->doctrine->em
->getRepository('Entity\Beaverusiv\FeaturesOption')
->findOneBy(array(
'id' => $feature_id
));
$feature_pivot = new Entity\Beaverusiv\PropertiesFeature;
$feature_pivot->setFeaturesOption($feature);
$feature_pivot->setProperty($property);
$this->doctrine->em->merge($feature_pivot);
}
// Persist this property, ready forz flushing in groups of $persist_bunch
$this->doctrine->em->persist($property);
$persist_count++;
// If the number of properties ready to be flushed is the number set in $flush_count, lets flush these properties
if ($persist_count == $flush_count) {
$this->doctrine->em->flush();
$this->doctrine->em->clear();
$this->doctrine->mssql->clear();
}
}
// Flush any remaining properties
$this->doctrine->em->flush();
$i += $flush_count;
}
}
Obviously this is wrong, but I haven't been able to find anywhere to show me a proper example. At the moment it just runs out of memory for some reason and complains about duplicates in the pivot table. How do I get a proper relationship set up so I don't reference the pivot table and can instead directly add FeatureOptions to a Property?

Answer 1

Ok, managed to get it working by changing in Property this:
/**
* #ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="FeaturesOption", mappedBy="properties")
*/
protected $featuresOptions;
to this:
/**
* #ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="FeaturesOption")
* #ORM\JoinTable(name="properties_features",
* joinColumns={#ORM\JoinColumn(name="property_id", referencedColumnName="legacy_id")},
* inverseJoinColumns={#ORM\JoinColumn(name="feature_id", referencedColumnName="id")}
* )
*/
protected $featuresOptions;
Dropping the pivot table entity, and dropping the inverse reference stuff in the FeaturesOption entity.
