I have two entity that have manytomany relation
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

and Entity 2

}
/**

*/
public function getEsami()
{
return $this->esami;
}
}
now i must save data and in my controller i write this:
for($i=0;$i<$form->get('numero_campioni')->getData();$i++) {
$campione=new TipologiaCampione();
$campione->setMatricola($form['matricola_'.$i]->getData());
$campione->setTipologia($form['tipologia_'.$i]->getData());
foreach($form['esame_'.$i]->getData() as $value){
$tipo_esame = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository('AppBundle:nome_esame')
->find($value->getId());
$esame=new Esame();
$esame->setIdAnalisi($analisi);
$esame->setIdTipologiaEsame($tipo_esame);
$em->persist($esame);
$em->flush();
$campione->addEsami($esame); -> this don't work
}
$em->persist($campione);
$em->flush();
}
I expect that $campione->addEsami($esame); creates a new record in my table esame_tipologia_campione for each $campione but it doesn't work ..

$esame entity and $campione entity are correctly saved.
Can anybody say to me what I'm doing wrong??

Answer 1

You need to create a Join Table
After that you need to choose which entity is the owner of the association (just after the manytomany chapter in the doc).
For exampre, if you may want to add "campioni" via the "esami" entity you should code a setter like this:
public function addCampioni(\AppBundle\Entity\TipologiaCampione($campioni) {
$campioni->addEsami($this);
$this->campioni[] = $campioni;
return $this;
}
Ciao!
