Hi,

Not clear your requirement. But this is how you store and retrieve data from session.

Storing in a session

Yii::app()->user->setState(‘text_input’, $_POST[‘text_input’]);

Retreive

Yii::app()->user->getState(‘text_input’);

Thanks

Ok but what i want to know is what is the best yii widget to get the value.Now i have made a simple html input text with ajax like this:




<div id="search">

        <input id="song" type="text" />

        <?php echo CHtml::link(CHtml::image(Yii::app()->request->baseUrl.'/images/Search.png'),

                '#',

                array(

                     'style'=>'vertical-align:top',

                     'ajax' => array(

                            'type' => 'GET', 

                            'url' => CController::createUrl('index'),

                            'update' => '#conteudo', 

                            'data' => array('song' => 'js: $("#song").val()')

                            )

        ));?>

    </div>
