Binding Zend2 form data from doctrine2 ODM

doctrine-odm, zend-framework2

Solution

For Zend\Form being able to hydrating your entity you need to have something like that in your entity class:

public function getArrayCopy()
{
    return get_object_vars($this);
}

Problem

Is there a better way to bind data from a doctrine2 ODM entity class to a Zend2 form besides using `bind()`? If so, what would it be? Would I just retrieve the data as an array and pass each individual field? I am struggling with this and most likely making it harder than it needs to be. When I call the `bind()` function it outputs a Zend error referencing the default hydrator. Do I need to do something special in my entity class? Edit: Here are the exact errors Zend is throwing ~\vendor\zendframework\zendframework\library\Zend\Stdlib\Hydrator\ArraySerializable.php:35 Zend\Stdlib\Hydrator\ArraySerializable::extract expects the provided object to implement getArrayCopy() They make me think I need to either: - use Zends hydrators (which I'd have to research how to implement) or - use doctrine2's hydrators (which, I'd also have to figure out the best way to implement)
