Why you’re using usernamecheck instead of username?

3

i have 2 tables in database merchant and customer and i want the user name to be unique

4

put the following code where you want to show the errors:::




<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
5

it show errors all at once at the top of the form i want to show the error below that text field

6

Using below code, We can get the individual error by attribute name of form




<div class="row">

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

	<?php echo $form->textField($model,'name'); ?>

       <?php $errors=$model->getErrors("institutionnametxtid");

             if(count($errors)>0){ ?>                    

           <div class="errorMessage">Username  "<?php echo $model->text_institutename; ?>" has already been taken.</div>

       <?php } ?>

</div>
