I have the following custom method in the repo:
$query = $qb->select('Client', 'Organization')
->from(':Client', 'Client')
->leftJoin('Client.organizations', 'Organization');
--different searh conditions--
Then I use paginator to get the results:
$paginator = new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Pagination\Paginator($query->getQuery());
$clients = $paginator->getQuery()
->setMaxResults($length)
->setFirstResult($start);
Here where the magic comes. I set length to 10 and first result to 0. So basicaly I should get 10 results on the page. However if there are 5 Organizations for the Client (Client mtm Organization), there will be 5 results, if there are 7 Organizations - 3 results.
But if I add
$query->groupBy('Client');
Then all is "ok" with the root level of results: i.e. there are 10 Clients on the page, but there is not all of the Organizations (max 1).
Did anyone experience the same issue? Any thoughts, suggestions?
It probably counts the same item several times.
Try once to add a distinct clause to your query.
