Doctrine enum type by value

Question

I have a column in a table defined as following in my yaml file:

myTable:
  columns:
    value:
      type: enum
      length: 2
      values: ['yes', 'no']

In the code I am trying to insert data into this table but I can't figure out a way to insert the data using the enum text value (ie. 'yes' or 'no').

What I was trying was is something like this:

$obj = new myTable(); // the model for this table
$obj->value = 'yes'; // if I use the numerical value for this it works

I am using Doctrine 1.1.0.

Answer 1

Does $obj->setValue('yes') work? And the obvious thing to check are you calling save on the object?

Answer 2

You should not set lenght with enum type, as it's internally traeted as integer.
