Thank you so much for your reply. i have been reading Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5.

But Exception handling and populating a dropdownlist from a database is getting difficult to understand.

I don’t have this book, so I cannot help with it.

Can you tell us what exaclty are you trying to achive? Maybe we can help in something of specific.

I have two tables related by integrity constraint. Now i want to provide option for the user to select the foreign key through a dropdownlist instead of user entering the data. So i am not able to write the code for getting data from database into the dropdownlist.Kinldy help me.

That book is full of typos and mistake. Don’t start with that book if you’re absolutely new.

You should start with Larry’s tutorial. He covered exectly the “drop down list from database” you asked.

Then move on to the blog tutorial on this website

Just a note: at first you where asking for tutorials about layouts and exceptions… now you are on dropdowns…

As for your dropdownlist… as a second parameter goes the model attribute… you put there ‘Society’… but if I understood you right… this is the model… you need to put there your attribute name (society_id?)…

10

Tt was a mistake while i was typing it sir.

<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model, ‘Society’, CHtml::listData(Society::model()->findAll(), ‘id’, ‘society_id’));?>

This is not working

11

Thank you fir this. I will study the same

12

read again my post… "second parameter of the dropDownList"… you put "Society" there… is that the name of your attribute?

13

Society is name of the model

society_id is the name of the attribute sir

14

This is the code i worte

<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,‘socity_id’, CHtml::listData(Society::model()->findAll(), ‘id’,‘socity_id’)); ?>

The error i am getting:

                   Property &quot;Society.socity_id&quot; is not defined.

Note :Socity_id is the feild name in the database

kindly help me please

15

Note: when posting code, use the code button on the editor toolbar (<>) so that the code is more readable…

As for the problem… check your spelling… In the first post you wrote that the attribute is "society_id"… but the error say "socity_id" (missing "e")

16

Sorry for that sir. certainly i will do as u said.

while creating the table i gave the field name as Socity_id .

and i developed all the CRUD operations using yii. when i thought of editing the database field there came editing of files like model , form.php, _view.php …

so i left that name as socity_id sir.

17

fianlly this is working

<<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,‘socity_id’, CHtml::listData(Society::model()->findAll(), ‘id’, ‘id’)); ?>>

<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,’<label name>’, CHtml::listData(<Model name>::model()->findAll(), ‘<columnname>’, ‘<column name>’)); ?>

Thanks for all the feedback.
