I use symfony2 with doctrine. I want to do some changes when special attributes of an entity changes; actually I want to save the changes of my attributes and have an status of it's changes. How can i say for example when any field changes do something relevant to the changed field's name.

for example if email changed, add some row to the other entity.

As addition to Yan answer, Doctrine already has methods for your needs like hasChangedField, getNewValue.. You can read more here:

You should be able to do something with Doctrine Listeners and UnitOfWork changeset, something like this :

use Doctrine\ORM\Event\LifecycleEventArgs;

class DoctrineListener
{
    public function preUpdate(LifecycleEventArgs $args)
    {
        $entity = $args->getEntity();
        $entityManager = $args->getEntityManager();

        if ($entity instanceof MyEntityClass) {
            $changeSet = $entityManager->getUnitOfWork()->getEntityChangeSet($entity);
            if (isset($changeSet['my_field'])) {
                //do something here
            }
        }
    }
}

For example, this is how some of the Doctrine extensions are registering their changes.
