How To Insert The Form Data In Database Without Specifying It As "required" In Rule()

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi everyone,

I have some problems of receiving form data in Yii framework. Please spare a bit time and help me. I appreciate it a lot.

My problem is, I defined a table in database and in that table I have a column, which is NOT REQUIRED for user input (hence I didn’t specify it as “required” in rules() function in model). But at the same time, I expect to received input if any.

What I found by now is that the input for the "un-required" column will not store in the table. This is not what I want. Please help me out.

Thank you in advance.

You need to declare that attribute as safe or it won’t be honored during massive assignment.
