Hi,

first thing is a little change in schema:

Contact:

    columns:

        id:                     { type: integer(4), primary: true, autoincrement: true }

        first_name:             { type: string(50)}

        last_name:              { type: string(50)}







Phone:

    columns:

        id:          { type: integer(5), primary: true, autoincrement: true }

        contact_id:  { type: integer(4) }

        number:      { type: string(20) }

        type:        { type: enum, values: [Home, Work, Cell, Fax] }

    relations:

        Contact: { foreignAlias: Phone, foreignType: one }

PhoneForm.class.php should be:

class PhoneForm extends BasePhoneForm

{

  public function configure()

  {

    $this->useFields(array('number', 'type'));

  }

}

and ContactForm.class.php:

class ContactForm extends BaseContactForm

{

  public function configure()

  {

    $this->useFields(array('first_name', 'last_name'));



    // embdding form

    $phoneForm = new PhoneForm($this->getObject()->getPhone());

    $this->embedForm('Phone', $phoneForm);

  }

}

If you use

$this->embedRelation('Phone', 'PhoneEmbedForm');

Doctrine fetches Phone objects related with Contact object only for editing, so you can't create new Phone objects.

In case I showed above you are embedding a Phone form initialized with related Phone object

$this->getObject()->getPhone()

. If there is no related Phone object, then you can see a blank form for creating new object.
