Populating edit form

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi,

I have this controller action for editing a company record: -




public function actionEditCompany() {

			

			$company = new Company;

			$company->id = Yii::app()->user->record->company->id;

			

			if(isset($_POST["Company"])) {

				

				$company->attributes = $_POST["Company"];

				

				if($company->validate()) {

					

					$company->save();

					$this->redirect(array("site/index"));

					

				}

				

			} else {

				

				$company->findByPK(Yii::app()->user->record->company->id);

				

			}

			

			$view->company = $company;

			$this->render("EditCompany", array("view" => $view));

			

		}

And I have this view code: -




<div class="form">


	<?php echo CHtml::beginForm(); ?>

	

		<?php echo CHtml::errorSummary($view->company); ?>

		

		<fieldset>

			

			<legend>Company details</legend>

			<p>Enter your company details here.</p>

					

			<label>Company name</label><br />

    		<?php echo CHtml::activeTextField($view->company, "name") ?><br />


			<label>Company contact number</label><br />

    		<?php echo CHtml::activeTextField($view->company, "contact_number") ?><br /><br />


			<?php echo CHtml::submitButton("Edit the company details"); ?>


		</fieldset>

    	

    <?php echo CHtml::endForm(); ?>

		

</div>

Could someone tell me why it is not populating the form?

Problem solved answer …




$company = $company->findByPK(Yii::app()->user->record->company->id);

Needed to say "$company =" rather than just "$company->findByPK(Yii::app()->user->record->company->id)"
