I have a simple ManyToOne Relationship between these two tables on userId field.
Here is the code with i m trying to add the data in to database with doctrine.
public function checkDatabaseAction(){
$user = new Users();
$user->setDateString(date('Y-m-d'))
->setDateTimeString(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'))
->setIsActive(1)
->setIsDeleted(0)
->setIsEditable(1)
->setIsTwoWayAuthEnabled(0)
->setLastUpdatedOn(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'))
->setSchoolId(1)
->setSlug('abc-123')
->setTokkenExpiryTime(date('Y-m-d'))
->setUpdatedBy(1)
->setUsername('ahmedali5530')
->setVerificationPin('1122')
->setVerificationTokken('hskajdhfkjlh435kh34k5jh435');
$log = new ActivitLogs();
$log->setActivityLog('A log')
->setDateString(date('Y-m-d'))
->setDateTimeString(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'))
->setIpAddress('192.168.1.16')
->setIsActive(1)
->setIsDeleted(0)
->setIsEditable(1)
->setLastUpdatedOn(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'))
->setOsPlatform('Windows 7')
->setReferer('http://localhost/symfony')
->setSchoolId(1)
->setUpdatedBy(1)
->setUserAgent('Chrome')
->setUserId($user);
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($user);
$em->persist($log);
$em->flush();
$allocateCourses = $em->getRepository('AppBundle:AllocateCourses')->findBy(array('isActive'=>1));
return $this->render(':main:form.html.php',array(
'data' => $allocateCourses,
));
}
When I execute this code I received the error:-
An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO ms_activity_logs (user_id, activity_log, user_agent, os_platform, ip_address, referer, date_string, date_time_string, is_active, is_deleted, is_editable, last_updated_on, school_id, updated_by) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)' with params [{}, "A log", "Chrome", "Windows 7", "192.168.1.16", "http://localhost/symfony", "2015-12-22", "2015-12-22 16:53:55", 1, 0, 1, "2015-12-22 16:53:55", 1, 1]:
Catchable Fatal Error: Object of class AppBundle\Entity\Users could not be converted to string
Any suggestions how to fix this error.

Answer 1

Ok I got the answer.
I added the new private property in ActivityLogs.php and told Doctrine to generate the entity. Doctrine created getter and setters for that property. This fixed my problem.
Here is the code I added:
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Users", inversedBy="ActivityLogs")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
private $user;
