Doing UPDATE with Doctrine and a String as Parameter

Today I had to extend a few Doctrine queries and one of these modifications consisted of changing the parameter of an UPDATE query from integer to string – and whoops! It didn’t work anymore…

When using $query->getSql(); I noticed that it wanted to do something like this:

UPDATE data SET date = 2009-12-14 WHERE ...

and of course mySQL doesn’t like passing date strings without proper quotes…

The query looked like this:

$query->UPDATE('Data')->set('date', $myNewDate)->where(...)

which I had to subsitute with

$query->UPDATE('Data')->set('date', '?', $myNewDate)->where(...)

Note the '?' in the middle – now it works
