Useing Attribute Which Is Not In Db Table

Hi

Actually i have a search form in view and want to filter my list of data according to value provided by the search form.That’s why i need to get the value and set it as model attribute so that i can filter my select query in model with this attribute. I declared the attribute as safe in the current scenario.also write something like

in controller

$model->search_value = ‘some value’

in model

array(‘search_value’, ‘safe’, ‘on’=>‘search’)

in view

  &lt;div class=&quot;sidebar_search&quot;&gt;


     &lt;?php &#036;form=&#036;this-&gt;beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(


			'id'=&gt;'search-form',


			'enableAjaxValidation'=&gt;false,


			'action'=&gt;Yii::app()-&gt;createUrl('Category/index'),


	  )); ?&gt;


      &lt;?php echo &#036;form-&gt;textField(&#036;model,'search_value',array('class'=&gt;'search_input','onclick'=&gt;'this.value=&quot;&quot;')); ?&gt;         


      &lt;input type=&quot;image&quot; class=&quot;search_submit&quot; src=&quot;&lt;?php echo Yii::app()-&gt;request-&gt;baseUrl;?&gt;/css/admin/images/search.png&quot; /&gt;


     &lt;?php &#036;this-&gt;endWidget(); ?&gt;           


    &lt;/div&gt;

but it is showing error that "Property "Category.search_value" is not defined."

i know that there is some problem but can’t figure out what.i also don’t know even i can use it like that or not.But i need the following flow

1.get input value from view in controller action.

2.send this value to model so that i can use it to filter the result according to it.

please suggest what should i do when i am using AR.

in your model, do you have?


public $search_value;
