I have been trying to make a Form Collection with file upload in Symfony2 and following this guide
http://symfony.com/doc/master/cookbook/form/form_collections.html
but can't seem to make this part work:
// src/Acme/TaskBundle/Entity/Task.php
// ...
public function setTags(ArrayCollection $tags)
{
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
$tag->addTask($this);
}
$this->tags = $tags;
}
. Basically, I have a Property Entity and an Image Entity with 1 to many relationship. I already made each of their FormTypes and the Property Entity persist just fine on the other hand Image entity's property_id column always gets NULL, even thought other properties of Image entities get persisted properly.
Here is the Property Entity:

Controller action:
public function addAction(Request $request)

$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$property = new Property();
$form = $this->createForm(new PropertyType(), $property);
if ($request->isMethod('POST')) {
$form->bind($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$em->persist($property);
$em->flush();
$this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add('notice', 'Successfully added new Property');
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('mata_admin.property.create'));
}
}
return $this->render('MataAdminBundle:Property:add.html.twig',array(
'title' => 'Property',
'form' => $form->createView()
)
);
}
When you add by_reference => false you are suposed to set the counter entity in the add function.
So your property_id should be persisting correctly in the image changing the addImage function in your propery to:
public function addImage(\Mata\MainBundle\Entity\Image $image)
{
$this->images[] = $image;
$image->setProperty($this);
return $this;
}
