php-symfonyHow to update an entity in PHP Symfony?

Updating an entity in PHP Symfony is a simple process.

First, you need to retrieve the entity from the database using the EntityManager.

$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$entity = $em->getRepository('AppBundle:EntityName')->find($id);

Then, you can update the entity's properties.

$entity->setPropertyName('New Value');

Finally, you need to persist the changes to the database.

$em->persist($entity);
$em->flush();
