Hi,
I'm currently creating a random name generator to teach myself Symfony. However, I've run into an issue that I can't work through by myself.

The generator will produce a series of names, from a predefined list, based on a series of criteria: gender, culture, and social status.

My entities/tables:

• name
• gender
• culture
• social status

My original many-to-many relationships:

• name-gender
• name-culture
• name-social status

I finished the controllers/forms/types for adding the necessary data, as well as outputting them (both singularly and as a list), before I realised I had made mistake. I needed the social status linked to the culture. Adding a many-to-many relationship between culture and social status seemed appropriate, but that’s where I became stuck. How do I do the name form? Do I need to resort to using javascript to populate the select or can Symfony manage by itself?

Part of the issue is that it’s possible for each name to have multiple cultures and a subsequent social statuses (and genders). My code currently allows for multiple choices for culture and social status, but how do I link them so that a choice of each culture must be made before any social statuses can be chosen?

Cheers!
