symfony2 forms from entity - forms

Question

Okay, so I'm using symfony2 and I'm trying to create an option box in this form based off another Entity...
So in my controller I have:
<?php
namespace Ecs\CrmBundle\Controller\Report;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Ecs\CrmBundle\Form\Report\TimeClockReportType;
class TimeClockReportController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
$request = $this->get('request');
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$start = null;
$end = null;
$dateRangeForm = $this->createForm(new TimeClockReportType());
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST')
{
$dateRangeForm->bindRequest($request);
$formData = $dateRangeForm->getData();
$start = $formData['dateRange']['startDate'];
$end = $formData['dateRange']['endDate'];
}
return $this->render('EcsCrmBundle:Reports:TimeClockReport.html.twig', array(
'start' => $start,
'end' => $end,
'form' => $dateRangeForm->createView(),
));
}
}
and my TimeClockReportType.php looks like:
<?php
namespace Ecs\CrmBundle\Form\Report;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder;
use Ecs\CrmBundle\Form\Parts\DateRangeType;
use Ecs\CrmBundle\Form\Parts\DepartmentSelectionType;
class TimeClockReportType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('dateRange', new DateRangeType())
->add('salesCompany', new DepartmentSelectionType(true));
}
public function getName()
{
return 'ecs_crmbundle_TimeClockReportType';
}
}
and my DepartmentSelectionType looks like:
<?php
namespace Ecs\CrmBundle\Form\Parts;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder;
class DepartmentSelectionType extends AbstractType
{
private $canSeeAll = false;
public function __construct($canSeeAll = false)
{
$this->canSeeAll = $canSeeAll;
}
public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('department', 'entity',
array(
'class' => "EcsAgentManagerBundle:EmployeeDepartment",
'required' => false,
'multiple' => true,
'expanded' => true,
'label' => "Department"))
;
}
public function getDefaultOptions(array $options)
{
return array(
'data_class' => 'Ecs\AgentManagerBundle\Entity\EmployeeDepartment',
);
}
public function getName()
{
return 'ecs_crmbundle_departmentselectiontype';
}
}
The problem that i'm coming up with, is i'm getting just a blank white screen... But, if i remove the:
->add('salesCompany', new DepartmentSelectionType(true)) from the TimeClockReportType it works just fine... But I can't see any errors or why it doesn't work..

Answer 1

A blank page indicates a parse error / engine error has occurred. I would suggest altering your php.ini file to have display_errors on.
Be sure to restart your webserver after.
