$Model->Attributes Don't Set A Value

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Dear all,

I use $model->attributes = $_POST[‘my_model_name’] to assign my post values to the model instance. One field of my post is now not assigned to my model and I don’t know why.

This is my post-dump:


array(5) {

  ["bdk_number"]=>

  string(4) "4712"

  ["region_id"]=>

  string(1) "1"

  ["name"]=>

  string(28) "XYZ"

  ["has_adress"]=>

  string(1) "0"

  ["position_id"]=>

  string(1) "1"

}

This is my code to assign in my controller class:




var_dump($_POST['Club']);

$model->attributes=$_POST['Club'];

var_dump($model->attributes);

and this is the dump after:




array(9) {

  ["id"]=>

  string(1) "1"

  ["bdk_number"]=>

  string(4) "4712"

  ["region_id"]=>

  string(1) "1"

  ["name"]=>

  string(28) "XYZ"

  ["has_adress"]=>

  string(1) "0"

  ["adress_id"]=>

  string(1) "0"

  ["position_id"]=>

  string(1) "0"

  ["created_at"]=>

  string(19) "2013-05-02 13:19:20"

  ["updated_at"]=>

  string(19) "2013-05-08 13:48:07"

}

Updating the name-attribute is working and the position_id not.

What can be the reason?

2

missing validation rules. massive assignements works only for attributes that have validation rules in current scope and are not marked as ‘unsafe’.

3

Imagine that “fieldName” is your attribute’s name.

Then, in your model you should have something like this:




array('fieldName', 'safe'),

This means that if you make a masive assignment


$model->attributes = $_POST['my_model_name']

, the attribute fieldName will be updated.

Greetings.
