Use password encoder in form for new User

Question

in UserController I have the following code

$password = $form->get('password'); $encoded = $encoder->encodePassword($user, $password);

It outputs an error $password must be a string. I tried changing value of $password to no effect.

Answer 1

You can convert type of variable in PHP (type juggling).

So your code will be

$password = (string) $form->get('password');
$encoded = $encoder->encodePassword($user, $password);
