hi im new to yii…

Im trying to programmatically increment a defined primary key to a model with contents from a view…but sadly, it doesnt save…

ur help is much appreciated :)

here is my code on the controller:

        if(isset($_POST['Somain']))


        {


        


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


        $count = $model->countAllDocNoPattern($model->getAttribute('DocNo'));


        $count1 = sprintf('%04d', $count); 


        $newDocNo = $model->getAttribute('DocNo') .'-'.$count1;


        $model->setAttribute('DocNo',$newDocNo);


		if($model->save()){


		    $this->redirect(array('update','id'=>$model->DocNo));


		}


			


     }

add:




if( $model->save() ) {

  ...

} else {

  var_dump( $model->errors );

}

and you should see validation errors if there are any…

OMG…i was searching for hours…thanks for this…

a maximum validation is blocking me to save it… thank you!!!

of course “var_dump” is only for debug purpose :) In real world you should provide some more user-friendly messages (like showing them near form fields like Gii generator does by default)
