Add data from other table to form + Symfony2 - php

Question

I have a table users with different fields in it. And I also have a table players with a FK user_id in it (along other fields).
Now I have a registerForm to create a user, but I would also like to add a field for a player.
This is my form now:
$builder
->add('userFirstname', 'text', [
'label' => 'Given name',
'attr' => [
'placeholder' => 'Enter your given name.',
],
])
->add('userSurname', 'text', [
'label' => 'Family name',
'attr' => ['placeholder' => 'Enter your family name.'],
])
->add('userType', 'choice', array(
'choices' => array('E' => 'ENTHOUSIAST', 'P' => 'PLAYER', 'T' => 'TRAINER'),
'label' => 'User Type',
'attr' => array('placeholder' => 'User Type')
))
->add('player')
->add('userUsername', 'text', [
'label' => 'Username',
'attr' => ['placeholder' => 'Enter a username.'],
])
->add('userEmail', 'email', [
'label' => 'Email address',
'attr' => ['placeholder' => 'Enter your email address.'],
])
->add('userPassword', 'repeated', [
'type' => 'password',
'first_name' => 'password',
'first_options' => [
'label' => 'Password',
'attr' => ['placeholder' => 'Enter a password.'],
],
'second_name' => 'confirm',
'second_options' => [
'label' => 'Password (repeat)',
'attr' => ['placeholder' => 'Repeat the password.'],
],
'invalid_message' => 'The passwords are not identical.',
])
->add('btn_register', 'submit', [
'label' => 'Register',
])
;
In my players table I have 'player_birthyear'. How can I add this to my form? I already tried to add player.birthyear to my Form but didn't work.

When I try add a player field I get this error:
Neither the property "player" nor one of the methods "getPlayer()", "isPlayer()", "hasPlayer()", "__get()" exist and have public access in class "VolleyScout\VolleyScoutBundle\Entity\Users".
UPDATE 2:
And I also have a FK in my players table 'team_id'. So when I create a user I would like to also select a team. So what I want is a list from all the teams in the database and set is as a choice field type in my Form. Do you know how I can place that in my formtype?
UPDATE 3:
I've added the following to my Users entity class:
private $player;
/**
* Get player
*
* #return \VolleyScout\VolleyScoutBundle\Entity\Players
*/
public function getPlayer() {
return $this->player;
}
/**
* Set player
*
* #param \VolleyScout\VolleyScoutBundle\Entity\Players $player
* #return Users
*/
public function setPlayer(\VolleyScout\VolleyScoutBundle\Entity\Players $player){
$this->player = $player;
}
In my formtype I've added:
->add('player')
Now in my form I want to do the following:
{{ form_label(registerForm.player.playerLicensenumber, label|default(),
Because in my Players entity class I have playerLicensenumber but I always get this error:
Method "playerLicensenumber" for object "Symfony\Component\Form\FormView" does not exist in VolleyScoutBundle:User:register.html.twig at line 57
UPDATE 4:
Is this a good solution:
Added this to my register form:
->add('player', new PlayerType())
And in my playertype I have the fields from player table.

Answer 1

You have to add a setter and a getter for your "player" field in your User entity.
public function getPlayer() {
return $this->player;
}
public function setPlayer(\Path\to\player\entity $player){
$this->player = $player;
}
For the team list in your form, you have to add an "entity" field type. Here are the docs for more info : http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/entity.html
