Hello All,
I am using Yii 2.0, Getting "Attribute name must contain word characters only" error.
I know it is bad practice to use "#" in table field name, But i have no option because i am converting old project in Yii 2.0 and client doesnot want me to make change in DB.
I Fixed this issue for listing and in relation by wrapping field name by curly braces "{}"
eg.
I made changes in <Model>Search.php, Befor the statement was
$query->andFilterWhere([‘like’, ‘com#id’, $this->com#id]); which was commenting everything after “#” then i changed it to $query->andFilterWhere([‘like’, ‘com#id’, $this->{‘com#id’}]);, Which is working for me.
but when i try to access update view it is giving me problem, “Attribute name must contain word characters only” after tracing a bit i got to see that in “BaseHtml” class we have “if (preg_match(’/(^|.\])([\w\.]+)(\[.|$)/’, $attribute, $matches))” which is cousing this error.
I can change this condition and write new which can accept "#" in field name but i dnt thing that is recomonded, Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thank you in advance.
That sucks. I feel genuinely sorry for you. Perhaps you can open a ticket?
