You can look at example models, ContactForm and LoginForm.
They’re created by ‘yiic webapp’ command.
Here’s the ContactForm;
<?php
/**
* ContactForm class.
* ContactForm is the data structure for keeping
* contact form data. It is used by the 'contact' action of 'SiteController'.
*/
class ContactForm extends CFormModel
{
public $name;
public $email;
public $subject;
public $body;
public $verifyCode;
/**
* Declares the validation rules.
*/
public function rules()
{
return array(
// name, email, subject and body are required
array('name, email, subject, body', 'required'),
// email has to be a valid email address
array('email', 'email'),
// verifyCode needs to be entered correctly
array('verifyCode', 'captcha', 'allowEmpty'=>!CCaptcha::checkRequirements()),
);
}
/**
* Declares customized attribute labels.
* If not declared here, an attribute would have a label that is
* the same as its name with the first letter in upper case.
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return array(
'verifyCode'=>'Verification Code',
);
}
}
and here is the corresponding view:
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'contact-form',
'enableClientValidation'=>true,
'clientOptions'=>array(
'validateOnSubmit'=>true,
),
)); ?>
<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'name'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'name'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'name'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'email'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'email'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'email'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'subject'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'subject',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>128)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'subject'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'body'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textArea($model,'body',array('rows'=>6, 'cols'=>50)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'body'); ?>
</div>
<?php if(CCaptcha::checkRequirements()): ?>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'verifyCode'); ?>
<div>
<?php $this->widget('CCaptcha'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'verifyCode'); ?>
</div>
<div class="hint">Please enter the letters as they are shown in the image above.
<br/>Letters are not case-sensitive.</div>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'verifyCode'); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Submit'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
