Testing yii with out a model

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi all

I’m newbie using yii

I got a tutorial where we want to display the famous ‘HELLO WORLD’

As you can guess we don’t need any DB to do this.

How can I create the views,forms without having a model?

Thanks

It’s not difficult. In your controller

in controllers/PageController.php




public function actionIndex(){

$this->render('index');

}

and in views/index.php you can simply do:




Hello World!

Btw, you don’t need a form to do this… :)

Thanks for your reply

What I was trying to do was to follow a tutorial to see how yii works from the beginning to the end.

This Tutorial

So in the part to create controlller , views, etc it does not say anything about it.

Thanks again

If not done yet, you should read about the two main concepts: OOP and MVC. For both you should find tons of material on the net. Once mastered you’ll see, that Yii feels very natural.
