symfony3 : add password confirmation field to a password field

in most of the cases its a good idea to let the user confirm is password to prevent uneeded password support.

symfony2 has an own PasswordType in his formpackage.

Include the needed namespaces:
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\RepeatedType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\PasswordType;

add the PassWordType to your form

symfony 3) formating an emailfield

If you want to format your email textfield you can simply add the EmailType to the formbuilder. in your FormType

Just include the namespace before usage: 
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\EmailType;



If you want some more configuration you can user the manual:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/email.html

All FieldType are found here:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types.html

symfony 3 manyToOne Relation / foreignkeys in doctrine2

If you have multiple table related to one table, lets say via a userid you can tell symfony to do the job for you by generating enties for you.

You can also do this by yourself by editing the entities.
this is the database with all the many2one relations 


At next we generate our entityclasses Posts, Replies and User
Have a look on the annotations of the userid in the related classes replies and post. In both cases the userid is tagged like that:
This annotation tells doctrine to relate the userid to the column "id" in the usertable

mysql: add / editing a foreign key after database was created

This task is simple but offten needed.

If you have created a databasetable and you forgot the foreignkeys, you can simply add it later via altering table.

Add a foreignkey


This key references the userid from users to a tupel in table posts. If a user gets deleted or updated the post will be deleted to0.

Symfony 3.1 Add a encrypted passwordfield to your entity, controller and Form

If you have a passwordfield in your database you have to encrypt the passwordbefpre you can save it.

this task is pretty straight forward in symfony 3.1

Once you have created your entity (f. i BlogBundle\Entity\Users)
You have to implement the core security user  interface  to make the entity compatible to the encoder class. See my class to understand the mechanism:


Implement interfacemethods
You have to implement the last 2 methods (see class above) to fullfill the contract.

Modify security:
open app/config/security and add encoder like this:

clear cache after that

Add encoder to your user-controller


Add password and password confirmation field to your crud form

thats it

Install symphon2 on linux, create a project with database, crudforms and twittter bootstrap

Create a database
php bin/console doctrine:database create
- call it blog

open a mysql client (fy mysql-workbench)

create needed tables

CREATE TABLE `replies` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `userid` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
