CHtml::dropDown on validation and save model issues

[b]So I make one nice registration form using the MVC philosophy. My model extends AR from users. My View contains the fields and my Controller contains the actions.

So i put 3 drop downs to get birthday of users. I set birthday required on my model. But after validation errors the dropdowns don’t back on old position and it should. After validation success i used beforeSave() to create a date from dropDown values but i can’t access them.

Why???

What is the better way to do this? [/b]




public function getDays()

{

	for ($i=1;$i<=31;$i++) 

	{

		$days["{$i}"]="{$i}";

	}

	return $days;

}

public function getMonths()

{

	$monthNames = array('','January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December');

	for ($i=1;$i<=12;$i++)

	{

		$months["{$i}"]=Yii::t('default',$monthNames[$i]);	

	}

	return $months;

}

public function getYears()

{

	for ($i=date('Y');$i>=1900;$i--)

	{

		$years["{$i}"]="{$i}";

	}

	return $yers;			

}



and on my view i put this




...

<div class="row">

<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'birthday'); ?>

<?php echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'day', $this->getDays()); ?>

<?php echo CHtml::activedropDownList($model,'month', $this->getMonths()); ?>

<?php echo CHtml::activedropDownList($model,'year', $this->getYears()); ?>

</div>

...



on my model i put this




public function beforeSave()

{

	...

	$this->birthday=date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->year . '-' . $this->month . '-' . $this->day));

        ...

	return true;

}



I don’t know what i did but now it’s working!!!

Now I know what I did.

I change my views like this




...

<div class="row">

<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'birthday'); ?>

<?php echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'day', $this->getDays()); ?>

<?php echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'month', $this->getMonths()); ?>

<?php echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'year', $this->getYears()); ?>

</div>

...



to this




...

<div class="row">

<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'birthday'); ?>

<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,'day', $this->getDays()); ?>

<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,'month', $this->getMonths()); ?>

<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,'year', $this->getYears()); ?>

</div>

...
