		// $this->performAjaxValidation($model);

		if(isset($_POST['Product']))
		{
			$model->attributes=$_POST['Product'];
			if($model->save())
                        $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));			
		}
		$this->render('create',array(
			'model'=>$model,
		));
	}
		 

Note ¶

don't forget to use file field for file upload and the form must use enctype multipart/form-data
