having problem with accessing specific $POST field

I’ve got a form




	<div class="row">

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

		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'title',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>128)); ?>

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

	</div>



and inside controller createAction function I got




echo "title: ".Yii::app()->request->getParam('title');



nothing gets printed by the output, after title: just empty…

However if I do this




	if(isset($_POST['Product']))

	{

		//$model->attributes=$_POST['Product'];

		if($model->save())



title data does gets saved to database. I have a need to access some fields submited by POST method directly and not mass-assign them like above, so why does using:




echo "title: ".Yii::app()->request->getParam('title');



does not print anything? How do I reference specific field submited with post?

How about:




$_POST['Product']['title']



:)

Thanks, that works :)
