Populate a model

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi everyone,

how do you populate a model with data from different rows without having to instantiate a new model for every row?

I need to do this because i just want to validate data i read from a file and instantiating a new model for every row is not very efficient.

I basically want to validate and insert/update a bunch of rows i read from a csv file using just 1 instance of a model. This is what i have in my model.




	public function reloadAttributes($attributes = false) {

		$this->clearErrors();

		$this->_pk = null;

	

		if($attributes !== false) {

			$this->setScenario('update');

			$this->setIsNewRecord(false);

			$this->setAttributes($attributes, false);

		}

		else {

			$this->setScenario('insert');

			$this->setIsNewRecord(true);

			$this->setAttributes($this->getMetaData()->attributeDefaults, false);

		}

	}
