Auto create date - annoation - Codeigniter 2 and Doctrine 2

If i am wrong, correct me please. But i knew as if Doctrine does not support default. You do that in php level like

/** * @Column(type="string", length=255) */private $something = "blabla";

Looking at your source code, i see that you are using gedmo extension for doctrine. Am i right? So you have got two ways to do this.

1)Just using Doctrine, No Gedmo
Read this manual very carefully and you will notice @HasLifecycleCallbacks Annotations.

So you should edit your code as;

CLASS FILE

<?php   namespace models; /**  * @Entity  * @Table(name="workers")  * @HasLifecycleCallbacks  */class Workers { /**  * @Id  * @Column(type="integer", nullable=false)  * @GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")  */ protected $id; /**  * @Column(type="string", length=255, unique=true, nullable=false)  */ protected $email; /**  * @var datetime $created_on  * @Column(type="datetime")  */protected $created_on; /** @PrePersist */ function onPrePersist() {     //using Doctrine DateTime here     $this->created_on = new \DateTime('now'); } /* Setters & Getters */ public function setEmail($email){ $this->email = $email; } public function getEmail(){ return $this->email; }}

2)Using Gedmo

If you prefer using Gedmo Timestampable extension, then just drop the function prepersist, cause gedmo is doing everything for you. I also checked my source codes. I hope i do not have wrong predictions here

CLASS FILE

<?php   namespace models; /**  * @Entity  * @Table(name="workers")  */class Workers { /**  * @Id  * @Column(type="integer", nullable=false)  * @GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")  */ protected $id; /**  * @Column(type="string", length=255, unique=true, nullable=false)  */ protected $email; /**  * @var datetime $created_on  * @Column(type="datetime")  * @gedmo:Timestampable(on="create")  */protected $created_on; /* Setters & Getters */ public function setEmail($email){ $this->email = $email; } public function getEmail(){ return $this->email; }}

For doctrine 2.3, use

/** * @var datetime $created_on *  * @Column(type="datetime", options={"default"="CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"}) */protected $created_on;

You may try the followings:

/** * @var timestamp $created_on *  * @Column(type="timestamp", default="CURRENT_TIMESTAMP") */protected $created_on;
