symfony2 doctrine allow null values?
So, I'm still REALLY new to symfony but i'm learning quickly... I created an entity and a crud (i forget how I did it actually but it was via the command line)..
The entity was created with this in it:
namespace Ecs\CrmBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* Ecs\CrmBundle\Entity\TimeClock
*/
class TimeClock
{
/**
* @var integer $id
*/

/**
* @var datetime $in1
*/
private $in1;
/**
* @var datetime $out1
*/
private $out1;
/**
* @var datetime $in2
*/
private $in2;
/**
* @var datetime $out2
*/
private $out2;
/**
* @var datetime $in3
*/
private $in3;
/**
* @var datetime $out3
*/
private $out3;
/**
* Get id
*
* @return integer
*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**

*
* @param datetime $in1
* @return TimeClock

public function setin1($in1)
{
$this->in1 = $in1;
return $this;
}

*

public function getin1()
{
return $this->in1;
}
/**

* @return TimeClock
*/
public function setin2($in2)
{
$this->in2 = $in2;
return $this;
}
/**

{
return $this->in2;
}

{

Then when I did i think the doctrine:generate:entities thing (i could be completely wrong -- i forget what i did to create it)..
It generates a timeclock.orm.yml and creates the table in the database or something like that..
the timeclock.orm.yml has this:
Ecs\CrmBundle\Entity\TimeClock:
type: entity
table: null
fields:
id:
type: integer
id: true
generator:
strategy: AUTO
in1:
type: datetime
out1:
type: datetime
in2:
type: datetime
out2:
type: datetime
in3:
type: datetime
out3:
type: datetime
totaltime:
type: string
daydate:
type: datetime
manyToOne:
noteBy:
targetEntity: Ecs\AgentManagerBundle\Entity\User
lifecycleCallbacks: { }
The problem is, totaltime, and all the in and out fields need to have a default of NULL and I can't find how to do that.. I've been searching for the last 30 minutes trying to figure it out before I came here..
Then, once I edit whatever file(s) i need, how do I make it update it in the database too?
Answer
I've just been looking for the solution, and wasn't happy with the accepted solution. [Edit: though I now know it's because I was using annotation]. The way I've found that works for me is setting nullable:
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="varchar", nullable=true)
*/
private $totaltime = null;
