Doctrine - insert multiple rows with just one save()

Question

How do I insert multiple rows into table calling save() method once in Doctrine?

Answer 1

Here another solution ,tested on Doctrine 1.2. No need to save each records, the flush() automatically finds out all the unsaved instances and saves them all.

$row = new \My_Doctrine_Record();
$row->name = 'aaa';
$row->approved = 1;

/// ...

$row = new \My_Doctrine_Record();
$row->name = 'val';
$row->approved = 'bbb';

Doctrine_Manager::connection()->flush();

Answer 2

If you use symfony2 it is so easy

// get the manager
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

// enter the records
$em->persist($entitiy1);
$em->persist($entitiy2);
$em->persist($entitiy3);
$em->persist($entitiy4);
$em->persist($entitiy5);

// save the entries
$em->flush();

Answer 3

Add each record to a Doctrine_Collection the call save() on the collection object.

$collection = new Doctrine_Collection('tablename');
$collection->add($record1);
$collection->add($record2);
$collection->add($record3);
$collection->add($record4);
$collection->save();

This only works if all the records are for the same table. Otherwise you're out of luck.

1)Declare all the tables. 2)Create the form. 3)Send to multiple tables. 4)Persist data.

use AppBundle\Entity\site;
use AppBundle\Entity\nba;

1)Declare all the tables.

 $site = new site;
 $nba = new nba;

2)Create form

$form = $this->createFormBuilder($site)




    ->add('site_id', IntegerType::class, array('attr' => array('class' => 'form-control', 'style' => 'margin-bottom:15px')))
    ->add('category', ChoiceType::class, array('attr' => array('class' => 'form-control', 'style' => 'margin-bottom:15px'), 'choices' => $output))
    ->add('team', ChoiceType::class, array('attr' => array('class' => 'form-control', 'style' => 'margin-bottom:15px'), 'choices' => $nbat))
    ->add('save', SubmitType::class, array('label' => "Create",'attr' => array('class' => 'btn btn-success', 'style' => 'margin-bottom:15px')))
    ->getForm();
    $form->handleRequest($request);
    if($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid())

3)Insert into multiple tables.

    {

        $site_id = $form['site_id']->getData();
        $category = $form['category']->getData();
        $team = $form['team']->getData();




        $site->setSiteId($site_id);
        $site->setCategory($category);
        $nba->setWinner($team);

4)Persist data

            $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
            $em->persist($site);
            $em->persist($nba);
            $em->flush();

Answer 5

I took a look into the code of the "save" method of the Doctrine (1.2.x) "Collection.php" and all I saw is something like this:

foreach ($this->getData() as $key => $record) {
   $record->save($conn);
}

How should this ever insert all records with one mysql INSERT?
