Well in a controller or even in the console you can do so easily:
for a model like:
Class A extends ActiveRecord{
public $name
public $lastname
}
just do something like:
$instance = new A(Array('name'=>'evet', 'lastname'=>'sleh'));
$instance->save();
or from a form:
$instance = new A($_POST['A']);
$instance->save();
that will save the record to the database.
If you dont want to use crud to generate the forms then take a look at the CHtml class documentation, its kind of a helper to generate HTML code
specifically youll need: CHtml::activeLabelEx(), CHtml::activeTextField() and stuff that begins with active…
Alex,
Hi Alex,
Thnks for the reply, but I still can’t insert a new record in MySQL database.
I am able to view the results but no insertion of record have take place.
The following are my codes, please take a look whether if I understand you correctly.
I am creating a message form with the following fields:
[list=1]
[*]author
[*]message
[*]phone number
[*]cars
[/list]
MessageForm.php (Message Form Model):
<?php
/*
* MessageForm Class
* Basic Model that holds our "Hello World" String
* and the rules and attributes to change that String.
*/
class MessageForm extends CFormModel
{
/**
* define public variables to manipulate model
*/
public $message;
public $author;
public $phoneNumber;
public $cars;
/**
* @return array validation rules for model attributes.
*/
public function rules()
{
return array(
// author and message are required
array('author, message, phoneNumber, cars', 'required'),
);
}
}
?>
MessageController.php:
class MessageController extends CController
{
private $_model;
public function actionShow()
{
// create a new instance of MessageForm model
$message=new MessageForm;
/*
* check to see if the MessageForm fields were filled in
*
* If they were, then print out the message and author
* with the show render - based on what the user inputted
*
* If not, then print out the default hellow world and
* default author with the show render.
*/
if(isset($message->message))
$this->render('show',array('message'=>$message));
else
{
$message->message = "Hello World";
$message->author = "Default Author";
$message->phoneNumber = "123456";
$message->cars= "Dropdown List";
$this->render('show',array('message'=>$message));
}
}
public function actionEdit()
{
// create a new instance of MessageForm model
$message=new MessageForm;
/*Your method here*/
$messagesave = new message($_POST['MessageForm']);
$messagesave->save();
/*
* check to see if All the fileds are filled in on the form
* if so proceed to assign the values to the variables in
* the message model (author and message)
*
* If they validate (no errors) then render the show page
* with the new data values
*
* If there's errors, return to the edit form showing the
* errors
*
* Finally if the form wasn't set then we render the edit
* page so that the user can input field values.
*/
if(isset($_POST['MessageForm']))
{
$message->attributes=$_POST['MessageForm'];
//$message->save();
if($message->validate())
$this->render('show',array('message'=>$message)
);
else
$this->render('edit', array('message'=>$message));
}
else
$this->render('edit', array('message'=>$message));
}
public function actionIndex()
{
$this->render('index', array(
'Users' => Users::model()->findAll(),
//'Products' => Product::model()->findAll(),
//'Sms' => Sms::model()->findAll(),
//Product Table's relationship with Brand Table is being preloaded.
'Products' => Product::model()->with(array('brand'))->findAll(),
));
}
}

This my results page. No Errors but No insertion of record.
Please Advise.
I do have the same problem, still newbie…
You have too many inconsistency in your code…
As you are a Yii beginner… I would advise you to read the "Definitive Guide to Yii"… and use the Gii tool to create the basic code…
then if needed change that code step by step… checking the functionality on every change… so that you get an understanding of how all this works…
