• With Doctrine it is possible to define custom accessors and mutators to use in your Doctrine models. This is possible with the hasAccessor() and hasMutator() mapping methods. Or, you can define both the mutator and accessor in one call using the hasAccessorMutator() method.
• Imagine a user model where you want to define a custom password mutator that encrypts the password using the PHP md5() method:
• Now when you try and set the password the custom mutator will be invoked instead of the normal mutating procedure.
