Update doesn't working using doctrine - doctrine

Question

I want to update all my events having the same name by updating start and end dates ,
I have posted the question before but now I have changed some of the code but still not working ?
the code redirect to app_event route without updating !!
Where is the error ?
Controller.php :
public function updateEventsAction(Request $request )
{
$form = $this->createForm('AppBundle\Form\UpdateEventType');
$form->handleRequest($request);
$event_name=$form[name]->getData();
$choosedName = $event_name->getName(); //get name from combobox
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$repository = $this
->getDoctrine()
->getManager()
->getRepository('AppBundle:Event')
;
$events = $repository->findBy(
array('name' => $choosedName) // array of events have same name choosen from combobox
);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
//foreach event update start and end dates
foreach ($events as $event) {
$event ->setStartDate($event ->getStartDate ());
$event ->setEndDate($event ->getEndDate ());
$em->persist($event);
$em->flush();
}
return $this->redirectToRoute(‘app_event’);
}
return $this->render('AppBundle:Event:updateEvents.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
Event.html.twig
{{ form_start(form}}
<div>
<label for="name">Name of the event</label>
<div > {{ form_widget(form.name}} </div>
</div>
<div >
<label for="startDate ">Start date </label>
<div > {{ form_widget(form.startDate }} </div>
</div>
<div>
<label for=" EndDate ">End date </label>
<div> {{ form_widget(form. endDate}} </div>
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit" ">Update</button>
</div>
</div>
{{ form_end(form) }}
UpdateEventsType.php :
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add(' name ',EntityType::class,array(
'class' => 'AppBundle: Event', 'choice_label'=>'name') )
->add(' startDate ', DateType::class, array(
'widget' => 'single_text',
// this is actually the default format for single_text
'format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd'))
->add(' endDate ', DateType::class, array(
'widget' => 'single_text',
// this is actually the default format for single_text
'format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd'))
;
}
Update
Now I have updated my code it seems a date format problem because after updating my code this is the error:
An exception occurred while executing 'UPDATE event SET startDate = '$ choosedStartDate ', endDate = '$ choosedEndDate ' WHERE name = ?' with params ["Events16"]:
SQLSTATE[22007]: Invalid datetime format: 1292 Incorrect date value: '$choosedDateDebut' for column startDate at row 1
This is the new code
public function updateEventsAction(Request $request )
{
$form = $this->createForm('AppBundle\Form\UpdateEventType');
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
$event_name=$form['name']->getData();
$choosedName = $event_name->getName();
$choosedStartDate=$form[startDate]->getData();
$choosedEndDate =$form[endDate]->getData();
print_r("***********choosed Start date****************"); print_r($choosedStartDate);
print_r("***********choosed end date****************"); print_r($choosedEndDate
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$repository = $this
->getDoctrine()
->getManager()
->getRepository('AppBundle:Event)
;
$listevents= $repository->findBy(
array('name' => $choosedName) // Critere
);
foreach ($listevents as $event) {
$datestart_bd =$event->getDateDebut();
print_r("Start date from database");
print_r($datestart _bd);
}
$q = $em->createQuery('update AppBundle\Entity\Event e SET e.startDate =\'$choosedStartDate \' , e.endDate =\'$choosedEndDate \' WHERE e.name= ?1' );
$q->setParameter(1, $choosedName);
$q->execute();
return $this->redirectToRoute('app_event');
}
return $this->render('AppBundle:Event:updateEvents.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
Update2
Now the code work fine I am not using createQuery anymore
my code working:
public function updateEventsAction(Request $request )
{
$form = $this->createForm('AppBundle\Form\UpdateEventType');
$form->handleRequest($request);
$event_name=$form[name]->getData();
$choosedName = $event_name->getName(); //get name from combobox
$choosedStartDate=$form[‘startDate’]->getData();
$choosedEndDate =$form[‘endDate’]->getData();
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$repository = $this
->getDoctrine()
->getManager()
->getRepository('AppBundle:Event')
;
$events = $repository->findBy(
array('name' => $choosedName) // array of events have same name choosen from combobox
);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
//foreach event update start and end dates
foreach ($events as $event) {
$event ->setStartDate($choosedStartDate)
$event ->setEndDate($choosedEndDate);
$em->flush();
}
return $this->redirectToRoute(‘app_event’);
}
return $this->render('AppBundle:Event:updateEvents.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}

You are setting same dates to the events as you take them from database, when you probably want to set them from form.
Change this code fragment:
foreach ($events as $event) {
//$event_name variable holds your form data
$event->setStartDate($event_name->getStartDate());
$event->setEndDate($event_name->getEndDate());
$em->persist($event);//note that you only need to persist new events, so this is unnecesarry
$em->flush();//I'd recommend 'batch' flushes
}
