Search with params

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi to all. i have Cars table. One of fields is rating (from 1 to 5). I had created new actionSearch in CarsController and in new "search" view a form:




    <div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'rating',array('label'=>'Rating')); ?>

		<?php echo $form->checkBoxList(

                    $model,

                    'rating',

                    $model->getRatingOptions(),

                ); ?>

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'rating'); ?>

	</div>

in Cars model:




	public function searchAdv()

	{

		$criteria=new CDbCriteria;

                $stars = $this->rating; //it's wrong way

                $criteria->select='id,car,stars';

                $criteria->condition='stars IN ('.$stars.')';


		return new CActiveDataProvider(get_class($this), array(

			'criteria'=>$criteria,

		));

	}

in controller:




	public function actionSearch()

	{

        $model=new Cars;

        $model->attributes=$_POST['Cars']; // here i put checked ratings

		$this->render('search',array(

			'model'=>$model,

		));

	}

And the question is: How can i access $_POST[‘cars’] array from Cars model? Because $model->rating is empty.




$stars = $this->rating; //here must be checked array of rating, for ex: 1,5.

P.S.: sorry for amateurish question :)

You should check whether $_POST[‘Cars’] has value before you assign to attributes.

Ye, I know it. I dont check it because i know that POST is not empty.

I checked $model->attributes




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

        var_dump($model->attributes);

And var_dump “says” that there is no ‘rating’ attribute. What Im doing wrong?

I announced rating variable in Cars model:




class Cars extends CActiveRecord

{

.............

    public $rating;

.........

:rolleyes:

I solved it. it was necessary to add rule for rating variable. ;D




	public function rules()

	{

        ....

            array('rating','safe'),

	....

	}
