Hi Mohsin Ali,

consider that $form->labelEx() take the name to display from the function attributeLabels() in the model passed as first argument. So if you call, for example:




echo $form->labelEx(User::Model(), 'name');

you should have the definition of the label for "name":




class User extends CActiveRecord

{

   ...

   public function attributeLabels()

   {

      return array(

         'name' => 'Name',

      );

   }

   ...

}
