I have a PHP script which is using Yii framework 1.1.
In this script, there are two separate forms which are using for searching.
Restaurant search form:
echo CHtml::textField('restaurant-search', '', array(
'placeholder' => t("Search a restaurant"),
'required' => true,
'class' => "search-field search_restaurant_search"
))
Food search form:
echo CHtml::textField('foodsearch', '', array(
'placeholder' => t("Search food"),
'required' => true,
'class' => "search-field foodsearch"
))
I want to combine them into a single form. Is it possible with the textField method or do I have to use a different method?

you can have multiple form fields in one form make sure both of your textField
are inside the form tags like so
<form action="" method="">
<?php
echo CHtml::textField('restaurant-search', '', array(
'placeholder' => t("Search a restaurant"),
'required' => true,
'class' => "search-field search_restaurant_search"
))
echo CHtml::textField('foodsearch', '', array(
'placeholder' => t("Search food"),
'required' => true,
'class' => "search-field foodsearch"
))
?>
</form>
Thanks, but I have already tried this way. It prints two separate search box and this isn’t what I want exactly.
I want to have just one search box in which I can both search for foods and restaurants.

okay make sense you can remove one field and keep one then your in your controller you can do OR
clause something like
$c = new CDbCriteria;
$c->compare('foods', $query, true, 'OR');
$c->compare('restaurants', $query, true);
NOTE: third bool param indicates where to do LIKE
match or simple comparison
