This question is about selecting data from multiple tables, joins, Doctrine2, ResultSetMapping, DQL and such stuff.
I have 4 tables:
- user
- contact
- contact_phone
- call
With relations as shown on the image: https://i.stack.imgur.com/762Jw.png
Every user can have many contacts, each contact can have many phones and each user can have many calls to/from his contacts. Just like in the real world... I've limited the number of fields in each table just for clarity.
So my problem is that I don't know how exactly to map call numbers to contact names when showing a list of calls for a specific user.
If I want to list all calls of user 1 I do:
$callRepository = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('MyBundle:Call');
$calls = $callRepository->findAll(array('user' => 1));
But this will give me just the list of all calls for this user and will not associate number (call.number) with names (contact.name).
I can achieve what I want with plain SQL with this query:
SELECT
c.number,
contact.name
FROM
`call` c
JOIN contact_phone cp ON
cp.number = c.number
JOIN contact ON
contact.id = cp.contact_id
WHERE
c.user_id = contact.user_id
AND c.user_id = 1
Please note that I don't want to select all calls (with SQL) and then map numbers to names with another query from the PHP layer because this way I won't be able to search the calls by name for example.
I was thinking that ResultSetMapping could help me in this case but I have no luck putting the SQL query and the ResultSetMapping together.
Please help, Thanks!
