EHtmlDateSelect not writing to database

Yii 1.1 Extensions
1

Hi all,

I am fairly new to Yii and I am trying to use it for some web forms.

I have installed the EHtmlDateSelect widget and I get it to display what I want and how I want it. However, when time comes to save back to the database, nothing happens. If I was editing an old value, the old value is preserved and if I try to insert a new value, nothing happens. Here’s the code in my view:




	<div class="row">

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

	        <?php $this->widget('application.extensions.EHtmlDateSelect',

                        array(

                              'time'          =>  $model->DOB,

                              'prefix'        =>  '',

                              'field_order'   =>  'DMY',

                              'start_year'    =>  '1850',

                              'end_year'      =>  '+1',

                             ));

                ?>

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'DOB'); ?>

	</div>

Since this extension does not work with the database, then you are required to submit data from this extension to the database. For example:




public function actionEdit()

{

$model->load...

$dateForDatabase=$this->getDateFrom_EHtmlDateSelect( $_POST['ItemsDate'] );

$model->date= $dateForDatabase;

$model->save();

}


protected function getDateFrom_EHtmlDateSelect($data)

{

            	if(empty($data['Month'])) $data['Month']=date('m');

            	if(empty($data['Day'])) $data['Day']=date('d');

            	if(empty($data['Year'])) $data['Year']=date('Y');

            	if(empty($data['Hour'])) $data['Hour']=date('H');

            	if(empty($data['Minute'])) $data['Minute']=date('i');

            	if(empty($data['Second'])) $data['Second']=date('s');

                return mktime(

                                            $data['Hour'],

                                            $data['Minute'],

                                            $data['Second'],

                                            $data['Month'],

                                            $data['Day'],

                                            $data['Year']

                               			);

}
