[DDC-2302] entity not updating with existing \Datetime object

Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:20:49 +0000

Within an entity i have an method to add days to a subscription. For that an datetime object is modified.

But the database is not going to be updated if an already existing datetime-object is modified an set. It's only working when an freshly created datetime object is used.

NOT WORKING EXAMPLE:

    public function addDaysToSubscription($days) {

        if ($this->hasValidSubscription()) {

            $startFromDate = $this->getSubscriptionValidUntil();
        }
        else {

            $startFromDate = new \DateTime('now');
        }

        $this->setSubscriptionValidUntil($startFromDate->modify('+' . $days .' days'));
    }

WORKAROUND:

    public function addDaysToSubscription($days) {

        if ($this->hasValidSubscription()) {

            $validDate = $this->getSubscriptionValidUntil()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
            $startFromDate = new \DateTime($validDate);
        }
        else {

            $startFromDate = new \DateTime('now');
        }

        $this->setSubscriptionValidUntil($startFromDate->modify('+' . $days .' days'));
    }
