I have an attribute of the model which should be modified after it’s loaded from the database.
I could extend the afterFind method, which could the convert the varchar value to a php array. So it works find.
But when the model is loaded I have no idea how to convert that varchar to the php array.
I have tried with rules but does not works:
[['languages'], 'each', 'rule' => ['string']],
or this one
[['languages'], 'safe'],
So this one works afterFind:
public function afterFind()
{
$this->languages = $this->convertToPHPArray($this->languages);
parent::afterFind();
}
By the way I have tried to extend the init or the __constructor method with this conversation, but no success, after load method the languages attribute is still a string instead of a php array.
