Update A (Model's) Table Column In A Static Page?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I’m using a static page to perform some actions and am wondering how I can update certain data from a model.

For this example I want to process a virtual payment. The logged in user has a certain amount of credits (‘credits’ column in tbl_profiles from yii-user extension), the code checks the price of the product and subtracts it from the user’s credits:




$productid = $_GET['product'];

$user = Yii::app()->getModule('user')->user()->profile;

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

$credits = Yii::app()->getModule('user')->user()->profile->credits;

$product = Product::model()->findByPk($productid);

$price = Product::model()->findByPk($productid)->price_total;

if($credits >= $product){

$newcredits = ($credits - $price);

//Update 'credits' for logged in user


}else{

//Payment Failed

echo "Not enough credits";

}

How do I update the credits for the logged in user in this example?

Got it working by adding the following code below the Update Credits comment!




if($user->validate()){

    $user->save();

  } else { 

   echo $user->getErrors();

  }
