I'm using Zend Framework with Doctrine. I'm creating an object, editing, then saving it. That works fine. However, when I later try to find that object based on one of the column values, Doctrine throws an error saying, "Message: Invalid field name to find by:". Notice there is no field name listed in the error message after the :.
My database table does have a column called status and the model base class does know about it. I'm using base classes and table classes in my setup.
Here is my code. The first section works fine and the record gets created in the database. Its the second line of the second section where the error gets thrown. I've tried different variations of the findBy calls, findBy('status', 'test1'), findByStatus('test1'), etc.
$credit = new Model_Credit();
$credit['buyer_id'] = 1;
$credit['status'] = 'test1';
$credit->save();
$creditTable = Doctrine_Core::getTable('Model_Buyer');
$credit = $creditTable->findOneByStatus('test1'); // dying here
$credit['status'] = 'test2';
$credit->save();
Never mind! I hate when you see the answer right after posting a big long question. In the second section I referred to a different model (Model_Buyer) instead of Model_Credit.

Please be gentle with me - I'm a Laravel noob.
So currently, I loop through a load of users deciding whether I need to update a related model (UserLocation).
I've got as far as creating a UserLocation if it needs creating, and after a bit of fumbling, I've come up with the following;
$coords = $json->features[0]->geometry->coordinates;
$location = new UserLocation(['lat'=>$coords[1],'lng'=>$coords[0]]);
$user->location()->save($location);
My issue is that one the second time around, the Location may want updating and a row will already exist for that user.
Is this handled automatically, or do I need to do something different?
The code reads like it's creating a new row, so wouldn't handle the case of needing to update it?
Update - solution:
Thanks to Matthew, I've come up with the following solution;
$location = UserLocation::firstOrNew(['user_id'=>$user->id]);
$location->user_id = $user->id;
$location->lat = $coords[1];
$location->lng = $coords[0];
$location->save();
You should reference the Laravel API Docs. I don't think they mention these methods in the "regular docs" though so I understand why you may have not seen it.
You can use the models firstOrNew or firstOrCreate methods.
firstOrNew: Get the first record matching the attributes or instantiate
it.
firstOrCreate: Get the first record matching the attributes or create it.
For Example:
$model = SomeModel::firstOrNew(['model_id' => 4]);
In the above example, if a model with a model_id of 4 isn't found then it creates a new instance of SomeModel. Which you can then manipulate and later ->save(). If it is found, it is returned.
You can also use firstOrCreate, which instead of creating a new Model instance would insert the new model into the table immediately.
So in your instance:
$location = UserLocation::firstOrNew(['lat'=>$coords[1],'lng'=>$coords[0]]);
$location will either contain the existing model from the DB or a new instance with the attributes lat and lng set to $coords[1] and $coords[0] respectively, which you can then save or set more attribute values if needed.
Another example:
$location = UserLocation::firstOrCreate(['lat'=>$coords[1],'lng'=>$coords[0]]);
$location will either contain the existing model from the DB or a new model with the attributes set again, except this time the model will have already been written to the table if not found.
I have an entity that is related to some other entities.
On the end, I have an object like tat:
paper.submission.authors
For some of the paper.submission, there is no author, and in my twig template, I am doing:
{% for author in paper.submission.authors}
do something
{% endfor %}
And for the paper.submission with no authors, I am getting "Entity was not found" exception.
Is thee any possibility to test if the object exists before my for loop.
I have try the is defined, it is always true. Then, I have tryed is not null, but this is also generating the exception.
Thank you very much in advance.
Problem
Doctrine throws this Exception when it doesn't find the related entity. It seems redundant to say this, but in fact this is important.
It means it could find an ID related to it, but the request doctrine made didn't match any result.
My guess is that your database table (link table actually) submission.authors contains IDs of 0 instead of NULL.
With such, Doctrine thinks there IS an author with ID of 0, and therefor, cannot find it.
What happens
submission.authors always exists. It is an Uninitialized Doctrine Proxy.
var_dump($submission->getAuthors());
Would show you what contains exactly submission.authors
At this point, no queries are made. It simply returns a PersistentCollection with a flag isInitialized to false.
The exception occurs when you're trying to get a property out of it
foreach ($submission->getAuthors() as $author) {
}
When doing this doctrine will check if getAuthors is initialized. If not, it will run the following query
SELECT <stuffs> FROM authors WHERE id = 0;
Which returns no match and will throw an EntityNotFound Exception
Fix
You must set your id row's default to NULL and make a query to update all 0's to NULL.
With this, you can easily test submission.authors with is not null
Doctrine will not run any query if it finds a NULL
How to debug to find which related entity was not found?
Exception message improved in repository https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Proxy/ProxyFactory.php#L160 but if you use older version you can do the following debugging.
If you use older version
Put following code to ProxyFactory class before throw new EntityNotFoundException(); line vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Proxy/ProxyFactory.php:177
$entity = $classMetadata->getReflectionClass()->getShortName();
$id = $classMetadata->getIdentifierValues($proxy)['id'];
var_dump("$entity WHERE id = $id NOT FOUND.");exit;
throw new EntityNotFoundException();
In your entity you can made something like this:
public function getSubmission(){
if($this->Submission->getId()==0) return null;
return $this->Submission;
}
i'm trying to do a complex query with Criteria in a Symfony project using Propel ORM.
the query i want to make is, in human words:
Select from the 'interface' table the registers that:
- 1 are associated with a process (with a link table)
- 2 have a name similat to $name
- 3 its destiny application's name is $apd (application accecible by foreign key)
- 4 its originapplication's name is $apo (application accecible by foreign key)
here the code i made, and not working:
$c = new Criteria();
$c->addJoin($linkPeer::CODIGO_INTERFASE,$intPeer::CODIGO_INTERFASE); //1
$c->add($linkPeer::CODIGO_PROCESONEGOCIO,$this->getCodigoProcesonegocio());//1
if($name){
$name = '%'.$name.'%'; //2
$c->add($intPeer::NOMBRE_INTERFASE,$name,Criteria::LIKE); //2
}
if($apd){
$apd = '%'.$apd.'%'; //3
$c->addJoin($appPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION,$intPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION_DESTINO);//3
$c->add($appPeer::NOMBRE_APLICACION,$apd,Criteria::LIKE); //3
}
if($apo){
$apo = '%'.$apo.'%';//4
$c->addJoin($appPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION,$intPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION_ORIGEN);//4
$c->add($appPeer::NOMBRE_APLICACION,$apo,Criteria::LIKE);//4
}
After that i did a $c->toString() to see the SQL generated and i saw that when i send only an $apd value, the SQL is correct, when i send an $apo value too. But when i send both, only the $apo AND apears on the SQL.
I guess its because the $c->add(...) call is the same with a distinct parameter, but not sure at all. Is this the error? What is the best way to generate my query correctly?
Thank you very much for your time! :D
Yes, it's overriding the previous call as the Criteria object only stores one condition per field. The solution is to create 2 or more separate Criterion objects and mix them into the Criteria object:
//something like this
$cron1 = $criteria->getNewCriterion();
$cron1->add($appPeer::NOMBRE_APLICACION,$apo,Criteria::LIKE);//4
$criteria->add($cron);
//and the same with the other criterion
However, it would be much easier to upgrade to Propel15+, where you work on the Query class level, and multiple restrictions on the same field don't override each other.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
I'm pretty new to Doctrine, but as I understand it, the assignIdentifier() method is supposed to tell Doctrine to update the relevant row into the database instead of inserting a new one.
I have an object that I'm building through a workflow, so the identifier has an id of null until I call $object->save(); which inserts it, and this does work.
If however I call $object->assignIdentifier($newobj->id); and then $object->save(); it does nothing - it does not insert a new row and does not update the old one.
If a certain condition is true, I want to pull a different record out of the DB and update that row instead of inserting the new one.
Am I understanding something wrong here?
Some code to illustrate:
if($this->object->payments > 0) {
$older_payment = Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('OldPaid p')
->where('p.dealid = ?', $this->object->transid)
->fetchOne()
;
$this->object->assignIdentifier($older_payment->id);
}
$this->object->save();
Like i got to know, save() will not update an existing record with autoincrement on ID.
I have the same problem using doctrine 1.2.
an idea i have use this one, the only workaroung i found:
$query = Doctrine_Query::create()->update('OldPaid');
$query->set($yourFieldname, '?', $yourValue);
$query->addwhere('p.dealid = ?', $this->object->transid);
$query->execute();
Thiw will function when a record is in the DN with the primaryKey dealid = $this->object->transid.

Usually, if you retrieve a record, you can update it with the save() method. Doctrine recognizes this (since the PK doesn't change) and updates the record.
From the docs:
Updating objects is very easy, you
just call the Doctrine_Record::save()
method
Another way can be replace(), but I usually use just save() and does either the saving or the updating if the record already exists.
As far as I can read from the description of assignIdentifier() never used it myself) it will only work with retrieving an object by its ID, so updating something with this method will not work.
Using Doctrine PHP
If I have a user with a many to many relationship with the model address and each address has a foreign key to a address type (home, office). Doctrine doesn't automatically load the related records for that address type.
$user = Doctrine::getTable('User')->findOneById(1); // bob
echo $user->Address[0]->address_type_id; // 4
echo isset($user->Address[0]->AddressType); // false
$user->Address[0]->refreshRelated(); // or $user->Address[0]->loadReference('AddressType');
echo isset($user->Address[0]->AddressType); // true
echo $user->Address[0]->AddressType->name; // office
Not sure if this is a bug or not in doctrine or my model.
But is this the best way to load related models beyond one level deep or is there another way to achieve the same result?
Have you simply tried joining you relations one by one?
Works pretty well, if you relations are set up correct.
$user = Doctrine::getTable('User')
->createQuery('u')
->leftJoin('u.Address a')
->leftJoin('a.AddressType t')
->findOneById(1);
You also spare your db 2 sql queries, compared to your example.
Are you saying you can't do this:
echo $user->Address[0]->AddressType->name;
If you try that without the isset, Doctrine should check to see that the value is set before retrieving it for you automatically.
