I am trying to load in Entity classes and use within a loop in order to load content in dynamically from files into relating tables.
Is there any way i can load in all Entity files from the following
use AppBundle\Entity\aaPostcode;
use AppBundle\Entity\abPostcode;
use AppBundle\Entity\acPostcode;
use AppBundle\Entity\adPostcode;
in such a way like this?
use AppBundle\Entity\*
Not sure if this is possible in Symfony.
My next issue is using the the prefixedEntity within a loop like so -
new $entityPrefix
When i am setting $entityPrefix to the following format
$entityPrefix = str_replace([".csv"], "", $entityFilename) . "Postcode" . '()';
which returns the string of
"abPostcode()"
can anyone advise as to why calling
new $entityPrefix;
is not working
Thanks in advance for any help!
trying to call
new $entityPrefix();
returns
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\ClassNotFoundException]
Attempted to load class "abPostcode" from the global namespace.
Did you forget a "use" statement for "AppBundle\Entity\abPostcode"?
even when i current am hrd coding the use stament to call
use AppBundle\Entity\abPostcode;
I solved this by pulling out the functionality into a helper and running a switch statement based on the input - in this case a {prefix}
You can't instanciate dynamically your class without ginving the full namespace. Try that :
$namespace = "AppBundle\Entity\\";
$entityName = "YourEntity";
$namespace .= $entityName;
$class = new $namespace();
This is working for me...
