You have to paste here controller’s action for this form and companylistname().

Hi, here is something weird, if I put echo at the front, it can save the data. Can i know why?

<div class="row">

<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,‘modified_date’); ?>

<?php echo $form->textField($model,‘modified_date’,array(‘value’=>date(“Y-m-d h:i:s”))); ?>

<?php echo $form->error($model,‘modified_date’); ?>

</div>

but this one cant save the data:-

<div class="row">

<?php $form->labelEx($model,‘modified_date’); ?>

<?php $form->textField($model,‘modified_date’,array(‘value’=>date(“Y-m-d h:i:s”))); ?>

<?php $form->error($model,‘modified_date’); ?>

</div>

Thanks. :)

Awww… I didn’t see that. Yes, you need to echo these. Form methods return strings but don’t display them. See CActiveForm class.

Bizley,thank you very much.I solve it by adding style="display:none;" at the div block.

However, I still got problem on the dropdownlist, it have the data upon selection but when we create it, it still save as an empty.

here is the code:

controller:-

public function companylistname()

{


	&#036;list = Branch::model()-&gt;findAll(array(


			'select' =&gt; 'branch_name',


		));


	return &#036;list;


}

view:-

<div class="row">

	&lt;?php echo &#036;form-&gt;labelEx(&#036;model,'Company Name'); ?&gt;


	&lt;?php 


		&#036;list = BranchController::companylistname();


		echo &#036;form-&gt;dropDownList(&#036;model,'parent_id',CHtml::listData(&#036;list,'id','branch_name'));


	?&gt;


	&lt;?php echo &#036;form-&gt;error(&#036;model,'parent_id'); ?&gt;


&lt;/div&gt;

You’ve got static call for nonstatic method companylistname. Also check your Branch findAll method if it’s correct.
