Hi all,

I have 2 seperate models models1 and model2. What i want to know is, is it possible to have the forms of both those models combined in one form and then save their values individually?If so how do i go about this?

Have you read the wiki?

If yes… do you understand that you can create two models and send them both to the view with




$this->render('create',array(

   'model1'=>$model1,

   'model2'=>$model2

));

Now in the view you have 2 models: $model1 and $model2… and you can create input fields for both of them…

NOTE: you posted in the Yii 1.0 sub.forum… do you use this version ?
