Use the __get method inside the controller

Question

In my entity I have the following magic method:

public function __get($key)
{
    return null;
}

On my controller I have the following code:

$clients = $this
    ->getDoctrine()
    ->getRepository("AppBundle:Clients")
    ->findAll()
;

//...

$naoExiste = $app->getNaoexiste(),

Despite the method __get exist within the entity, the following error occurs:

Attempted to call an Undefined method named "getNaoexiste" of class "Appbundle Entity Clients".

The method __get does not work in the entities?

Answer 1

The method for calling methods that does not exist is not the __get, is the __call.

__get is to call an action when a property does not exist.

__call is to call an action when a method does not exist.

You should also take care when adding "magic features", because if Doctrine, internally check the method with method_exists, he will return false.
