I want to generate a unique ticket ID for my tickets. But how to let doctrine generate a unique id?

/**
 * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
 * @ORM\Id()
 * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
 */
protected $id;

little more explain:

Answer

As of version 2.3, you can just add the following annotations to your property:

/**
 * @ORM\Column(type="guid")
 * @ORM\Id
 * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="UUID")
 */
protected $id;
