symfony2 表单和entity疑问

例如：我想添加一篇博客，里面有一个分类，我应该有一个category_id字段，然后在添加博客的时候可以通过下拉列表选择。

疑问：
我的下拉列表中怎么才能有我添加好的分类列表呢！
posts和category的关系

<code>#Demo\TestBundle\Entity\Posts

</code>

form表单时通过命令生成的:php app/console doctrine:generate:form DemoTestBundle:Posts

<code><?php namespace Demo\TestBundle\Form;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolverInterface;

class PostsType extends AbstractType
{
    /**
 * @param FormBuilderInterface $builder
 * @param array $options
 */
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder
        ->add('id')
        ->add('title')
        ->add('author')
        ->add('create_at')
        ->add('update_at')
        ->add('category')
    ;
}

/**
 * @param OptionsResolverInterface $resolver
 */
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
    $resolver->setDefaults(array(
        'data_class' => 'Demo\TestBundle\Entity\Posts'
    ));
}

/**
 * 表单标示符， name属性
 * @return string
 */
public function getName()
{
    return 'posts';
}
</code>

}

大概就是这样子，不知道哪里要调还是代码错误了，希望跟路大侠指教。

如果要用到 doctrine relationship 就用 ->add('product', 'entity' , array(...))
如果不要 doctrine relationship 就在

<code class="lang-php">class PostsType extends AbstractType {
    private $choices;

    public function __construct( $choices)
    {
        $this->choices = $choices;
    }

    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        ....
        $builder->add('category' , 'choices' , array(
        'choices' => $this->choices , 
        ) );
    }
}
</code>

<code class="lang-php">在你要实例化表单的时候
public function xxxAction(){
    $this->createForm( new PostsType( $this->getChoices() ) );
}
</code>

<code class="lang-php">同样在Action中加入
private function getChoices()
{
    //从Entitiy获取choices选项或者自己定义
    return array(1 => '...' , 2 =>'....' );
}
</code>

把这个
->add('category')
改成
->add('category', 'choice')
试一下看看

->add('category', null, array('property' => 'title'));
->add('product', 'entity', array( 'class' => 'Demo\TestBundle\Entity\Category', 'property' => 'title' ))

看出错提示是说Category实体内没有实现__toString()这个方法。所以解决之道就是到Category实体里面去实现这个方法。你可以在__toString()这个方法里面返回要显示在下拉列表中的东西。比如用titile：

<code class="lang-php">// file: Demo/TestBundle/Entity/Category.php
public funciton __toString() {
    return $this->getTitle();
}
