If you use Gii tools, You don’t need any thing for saving. It generate all the codes you need it. It is so easy to make a huge of models, controllers, views and CRUD.

In the model file you define 2 constant for 1=mobile, 2=telephone etc.

And in the controller file:




switch($_POST['Applyjob']['type']){

    	case Model::mobile:

           	$userappliedjob->contact_method=Model::mobile;

           	break;

     	case Model::telephone:

           	$userappliedjob->contact_method=Model::telephone;

}
