I am using Symfony and Doctrine.
I have two Entities, User and Pots. Every logged User can create as many Post he want to. Every Post is associated to one User.
Thats the Workflow: I log in with an User, this user create a Post. A New Post is saved in the Database with a foreigkey on the User wo create it.
Problem: when the User create the Post, the post ist create, but a new User is created too. The new Post is asssociate to the new Users and not to the logged User.

CONTROLLER: NOTE: Here is take the logged User from the SESSION. This works, i output the id from the User i use and it was the correct id.
public function FrameCoachNewAction(Request $request)
{
$session = $request->getSession();
$session->start();
$user = $session->get('user');
$post = new Post();
$form = $this->createForm(PostType::class, $post);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()){
$post = $form->getData();
$post->setUser($user);
$doct = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$doct->persist($post);
$doct->flush();
//return New Response($post->getUser()->getId());
return $this->RedirectToRoute('app_frame_coach');
}else{
return $this->render('/frame/frame_coach_new.html.twig', array('form' => $form->createView(), 'user' => $user));
}
}
I left the Entity like you said, but i changed the Controller to. The Session User Object dind't work to associate it to the Post. So I just toke the ID from the Session and then search the user object again throw that id in the database and used this instade.
public function FrameCoachNewAction(Request $request)
{
$session = $request->getSession();
$session->start();
$users = $session->get('user');
$repo = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository(User::class);
$user = $repo->find($users->getId());
$post = new Post();
$form = $this->createForm(PostType::class, $post);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()){
$doct = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$post = $form->getData();
$post->setUser($user);
$doct->persist($post);
$doct->flush();
//return New Response($post->getUser()->getId());
return $this->RedirectToRoute('app_frame_coach');
}else{
return $this->render('/frame/frame_coach_new.html.twig', array('form' => $form->createView(), 'user' => $user));
}
}
