Doctrine2 conversion error

Question

What does this error from \"Doctrine2 & Symfony2\" mean?

Could not convert database value \"\" to Doctrine Type array

Answer 1

You can add new Type like that:

use Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\ArrayType;

class HandicappedArrayType extends ArrayType
{
    public function convertToPHPValue($value, AbstractPlatform $platform)
    {
        if ($value === null || $value === '') {
            return null;
        }

        return parent::convertToPHPValue($value, $platform);
    }
