How can I access the elements of my view in controller. lets I have a field name 'type' in my form field and I want to access the value of that field in my controller class. How can I achieve that. I saw where we are fetching all attributes

$model->attributes=$_POST['Alerts'];
How can I get a specific attribute from $model->attributes Thanks in advance

I want to pass a value from form to the model.

Getting One value from the form

$alerts=$_POST['Alerts'];
echo $alerts['property'];

// setting one value to model

$model->setAttributes(array(
'property'=>'value'
));

hi
you can access it directly by

$var=$_POST['Alerts']['type']; 

or

$model->attributes=$_POST['Alerts']; 
$var=$model->type;

attribute `type` must be defined in model class or it must be part of table related to model class
