PHP DoctrineORM one-to-many self-referencing association 014

[@VisioX2K]

Good video as usual!
I seem to miss the part where the child or the parent is getting the reference (aka. referencedColumnId) to the actual ID field.
If it is done within actual PHP code, you might skipped showing it.
...or maybe I am just confused, which happens frequently :-)

That is an interesting question I didn't speak about. The convention within Doctrine associations is that the column an association is added to, through annotations, automatically looks for an "id" column in the associated entity. If there is not an "id" column it would require an added annotation specifying the column to use with the foreign key. Such as:
@JoinColumn(name="parent_id", referencedColumnName="id")
I'll make sure to mention this in a future video when I do the ManyToOne associations.

Would you please do a video on different PHP IDEs comparison?

[@Beachcasts]

Thanks for the idea. Do you have any IDEs you're considering, or would like to know about?

[@MahdiHaghgoo]

@@Beachcasts Yes, Those I know of include Apache Netbeans which has got a new look and growth recently, also PhpStorm which I am using, and Eclipse, etc.

[@Beachcasts]

Thanks. Let me see what I can do in the future. At the moment I use PhpStorm, and have not used the others for a long time.
