Submitting to database - symfony

Question

I can't submit my form to database when I validate I have nothing in my table in phpMyAdmin. Here is the code in the controller. I want to submit a form which contains an upload type.
<?php
// src/AppBundle/Controller/ProductController.php
namespace Upload\FileBundle\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Upload\FileBundle\Entity\Product;
use Upload\FileBundle\Form\ProductType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormView;
class ProductController extends Controller
{
/**
* #Route("/product/new", name="app_product_new")
*/
public function newAction(Request $request)
{
$product = new Product();
$form = $this->createForm(new ProductType(), $product);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
// $file stores the uploaded PDF file
/** #var Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile $file */
$file = $product->getBrochure();
// Generate a unique name for the file before saving it
$fileName = md5(uniqid()).'.'.$file->guessExtension();
// Move the file to the directory where brochures are stored
$brochuresDir = $this->container->getParameter('kernel.root_dir').'/../web/uploads/brochures';
$file->move($brochuresDir, $fileName);
// Update the 'brochure' property to store the PDF file name
// instead of its contents
$product->setBrochure($fileName);
// ... persist the $product variable or any other work
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('app_product_list'));
}
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($product);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('upload_file_success'));
}
return $this->render('UploadFileBundle:Product:new.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
}

Answer 1

Your logic is wrong.
Try this code:
<?php
// src/AppBundle/Controller/ProductController.php
namespace Upload\FileBundle\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Upload\FileBundle\Entity\Product;
use Upload\FileBundle\Form\ProductType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormView;
class ProductController extends Controller
{
/**
* #Route("/product/new", name="app_product_new")
*/
public function newAction(Request $request)
{
$product = new Product();
$form = $this->createForm(new ProductType(), $product);
if ($request->isMethod(Request::POST))
{
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
// $file stores the uploaded PDF file
$file = $product->getBrochure();
/* #var Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile $file */
// Generate a unique name for the file before saving it
$fileName = md5(uniqid()).'.'.$file->guessExtension();
// Move the file to the directory where brochures are stored
$brochuresDir = $this->container->getParameter('kernel.root_dir').'/../web/uploads/brochures';
$file->move($brochuresDir, $fileName);
// Update the 'brochure' property to store the PDF file name
// instead of its contents
$product->setBrochure($fileName);
// ... persist the $product variable or any other work
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($product);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('app_product_list'));
}
}
return $this->render('UploadFileBundle:Product:new.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
}
I also recommend using VichUploaderBundle

Because your logic is wrong. You check form in first if and redirect code to list page. But your code can not work second if ever.
