Object of class App\Entity\ could not be converted to string code example
Example: object of class pdostatement could not be converted to string
In the comments, you show the following:
$query = $db->query('SELECT MAX( Bestelnummer ) FROM Bestellingsdetail');
$query->execute();
$max = $query;
$max++;
This is not how you get the result from a query. You are setting $max to a PDOStatement object. You need to fetch() the result in order to use it.
// I've added "AS maxval" to make it easier to get the row
$query = $db->query('SELECT MAX(Bestelnummer) AS maxval FROM Bestellingsdetail');
$max_row = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$max = $max_row['maxval'];
$max++;

P.S. $query->execute(); is only needed for prepared statements. query() will execute the query immediately.
