Symfony2 classess and repository name

Question

That is simple for you, but I can't understand the difference (if it exist) between two "name" of this same class:

First if I use php function (get_class()) for some entity I get something like structure to directory to class of this object (App\Module\Class).

Second: If i want to get some data form db I have to use a repository name as AppModule:Class

So is there any method to transform first naming to second? I don't know how you naming this two methods, I am sorry for my mistakes.

Don't confuse Doctine's AppModule:Class with PHP's AppModule::Class. In the land of Doctine the AppModule is an alias which end up pointing to AppModule\Entity. Class is then appended to it. — Cerad

If you use ClassName::class where ClassName is whatever a class is, you'll obtain the class FQCN (Fully Qualified Class Name; in your example, for instance, App\Module\Class)

I suggest to use ClassName::class every time you can instead of VendoBundle:Class convention

This will work only if you use PHP >= 5.5 btw, but I hope you do!

Thak you for answer. Is exist any (built-in) method to convert this two names? Like "App\Module\Class" to "AppModule:Class" ?

@Micchaleq I don't think so. However you don't need the second one, you can use what I've suggested even for repository retrieve. Give it a try!
