使用现有数据symfony2自动填充表单

Question

How could I autopopulate a form that contains entity option things? I'm trying to do an update details form that when called already contains that users information.

I'm using Symphony 2.1.

The form would look like this:

$builder //->add('createdate') //->add('modifydate') ->add('schoolname') ->add('schoolprofile') ->add('streetaddress') ->add('streetaddressext') ->add('country', 'entity', array( 'class' => 'IFS\\Account\\RegisterSchoolBundle\\Entity\\Country', 'property' => 'countryname', )) ->add('schoolprogramid', 'entity', array( 'class' => 'IFS\\Account\\RegisterSchoolBundle\\Entity\\Schoolprogram', 'property' => 'displayname', )) ->add('schoolsizegroupid', 'entity', array( 'class' => 'IFS\\Account\\RegisterSchoolBundle\\Entity\\Schoolsizegroup', 'property' => 'displayname', )) ->add('state', 'entity', array( 'class' => 'IFS\\Account\\RegisterSchoolBundle\\Entity\\State', 'property' => 'statename', )) ->add('city', 'entity', array( 'class' => 'IFS\\Account\\RegisterSchoolBundle\\Entity\\City', 'property' => 'cityname', )) ; }

You can set your default values on the entity level, ex :

class MyObject {

    __construct() {
        $this->setValue('myDefaultValue');
        //...
    }

    //...
}

Also, it seems your question is a duplicate of this one : How to set default value for form field in Symfony2?
