[echo66]

I'm a newbie at using frameworks and i have a question.

What does "new User('search');" do? I don't understand the use of the 'search' argument.

	/**
	 * Manages all models.
	 */
	public function actionAdmin()
	{
		$model=new User('search');
		if(isset($_GET['User']))
			$model->attributes=$_GET['User'];

		$this->render('admin',array(
			'model'=>$model,
		));
	}

Thanks in advance.

It initializes the 'scenario' property to 'search' instead of the default 'insert'. See also:

I'm not sure about the reason, but the effect would be that all the searchable attributes can be massively assigned in the statement

$model->attributes=$_GET['User'];

Thanks for the explanation but im having a hard time understanding what scenarios are.

I have read the documentation "Creating a Model" and search in google about it and i still don't get it.

seems i jumped one line in my reading about scenarios

so...

$model=new LoginForm;
$model->scenario='login';
if(isset($_POST['LoginForm']))
    $model->attributes=$_POST['LoginForm'];

so, to define a scenario is just like that? Seems easy.

Sorry again for the dumb questions....i'm new to the framework field (ANY FRAMEWORK )
