Yii 1.1 General Discussion

hello Dear ,

please help me, i’m not catching somethings in yii :

1)shall i write all my queries in my Models or shall i put its in my controllers.

2)how shall i use form data to make a query e.g i have a CFORM and user fill it and click on submit bouton how shall i do to write a query like this SELECT row FROM Mytable WHERE row = $_post/$_GET and where shall i write this querie.

please help me i think it’s the last step before doing my own tutorials.

thanks

you will change ‘like’ to ‘love’ and no ‘but’ once you know more about yii

  1. [controller] controls what to do and where to go; [model] actually does the job, so query goes model

  2. if you grab an existing yii application go a little deeper, eg. check SiteController.php


public function actionFeedback(){

  //~~~

  //this line will receive all values from form to model

  $model->attributes=$_POST['FeedbackForm'];

  //~~~

how shall i use variables $_get OR $_post to create a queries i suppose that variables are from a CFormModel filled by a user …what’s the best pratice to create a query in controller or in model

Read the documentation. Follow tutorials and download and examine applications made with Yii - instead of expecting us to answer all your basic questions.

one big difference between regular php form and yii generated form is

php


<input name="field1" type="text">

yii, which is array


<input name="model[field1]" type="text">

so in your model,


  //this line will receive all values from form to model

  $model->attributes=$_POST['FeedbackForm'];

or individually


$email = $_POST['FeedbackForm']['email'];

$body =  $_POST['FeedbackForm']['body'];

every time, when you got the yii way, you would appreciate the smart design of yii
