Getters and setters using Doctrine 2 - symfony

Question

I have an Entity i.e Users. I want to make getters and setters of this entity in Doctrine, so that Doctrine can read it.
How can I do it, can someone provide me basic example? I am a beginner

*/
private $email;
}
?>

Answer 1

Try with this command:
php app/console doctrine:generate:entities YourBundle:YourEntity

Answer 2

For example, if you wanted to have a setter for your email property, you would do:
public function setEmail($email)
{
$this->email = $email;
return $this;
}
public function getEmail()
{
return $this->email;
}
The first is the setter (it sets the value of email on the object) and the second is the getter (it gets the value of email from the object). Hope that helps :)

Answer 3

You can use magic methods if you're lazy enough not to define your own methods for each property.
public function __get($property)
{
return $this->$property;
}
public function __set($property,$value)
{
$this->$property = $value;
}
It's better to create a method for each property though
public function getName()
{
return $this->name;
}
public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}
