I have the following code to create a virtual attribute "mydob".
public function getMyDOB()
{
return date('m/d/Y', CDateTimeParser::parse($this->dob, 'yyyy-MM-dd'));
}
The problem is that if $this->dob is undefined (such as when I am creating instead of updating), this returns the date of the Unix epoch. Any ideas on how I can check to see if $this->dob is defined before I return?
It depends on what you want to return if it turns out to be undefined. It would go like this:
public function getMyDOB()
{
if ($this->_mydob === null && $this->dob !== null)
{
$this->_mydob = date('m/d/Y', CDateTimeParser::parse($this->dob, 'yyyy-MM-dd'));
}
return $this->_mydob;
}
And add ELSEIF in case you wish to have some default value when $this->dob is not defined.
Your suggestion works great. Thanks!
Use the Yii::log() method, in your config/main.php you can configure the log level by adding the "info" level, by default is not set, look at your config/main.php
'log'=>array(
'class'=>'CLogRouter',
'routes'=>array(
array(
'class'=>'CFileLogRoute',
'levels'=>'error, warning,info',
),
),
),
Once log is configured you can use it in this way:
[color=#000088]public[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#000088]function[/color][color=#000000] getMyDOB[/color]color=#666600[/color][color=#000000]
[/color][color=#666600]{[/color][color=#000000]
Yii::log("My dob is:".[/color][color=#000000]$this[/color][color=#666600]->[/color][color=#000000]dob[/color],"info"); // use the Yii::log [color=#000088]return[/color][color=#000000] date[/color][color=#666600]([/color][color=#008800]'m/d/Y'[/color][color=#666600],[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#660066]CDateTimeParser[/color][color=#666600]::[/color][color=#000000]parse[/color][color=#666600]([/color][color=#000000]$this[/color][color=#666600]->[/color][color=#000000]dob[/color][color=#666600],[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#008800]'yyyy-MM-dd'[/color][color=#666600]));[/color][color=#666600]}[/color]
Where you can find the log file ?
look at: /protected/runtime/application.log
