Answer 1

You can try this:

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Article
{
  /**
   * @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="AppBundle\Entity\Category", cascade={"persist"})
   */
  private $categories;

  // …
}

and in your repository:

  public function getArticlesWithCategories(array $categoryNames)
  {
    $qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('a');

    // We're making a joint with the Category entity with alias "c."
    $qb
      ->innerJoin('a.categories', 'c')
      ->addSelect('c')
    ;

     // Then we filter on the names of the categories using an IN
     //If you really need to take the id, replace the $categorieName variable with $categorieID and "c. name" with "c. id".

    $qb->where($qb->expr()->in('c.name', $categoryNames));
    // The syntax of the IN and other expressions can be found in the Doctrine documentation

    // Finally, we return the result
    return $qb
      ->getQuery()
      ->getResult()
    ;
  }
