How to use POST attributes without saving it in the model?

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

I have an ActiveForm which is sending some data through POST, I have 2 fields which I don’t want to save in the database, I only need those attributes for data manipulating in the moment, so I just created them as attributes in the PHP model file. How can i access those attributes? I tried doing $model->attribute1, but it returns null, because this attribute isn’t in the database, but they are being sent int the POST request, in X-debug it shows something like:

$post: [
    Model: {
         id: 1
         name: "Example"
         attribute1: "The value I need, which is correct"
         attribute2: "Another value I need"
    }
]

Where id and name are being saved in the database, while attribute1 and attribute2 aren’t.

They must be in model rules

Hi

try to create var in your model’s class. For example:

class Student {
public $firstClass, $secondClass;
}
