I have many to many relation between user and course tables (having third table for this user_course)
so If I want to check whether a user register in a course then what is the best method to do it in yii
I know I can do it by creating an extra model for user_course table and can do something like this
$userCourse = UserCourse::model()->findByAttributes(array(
‘userId’=>$userId,
‘courseId’=>$courseId,
));
if ($userCourse != null)
echo ‘User registered’;
else
echo ‘User not registered’;
But is there any other method so that I can skip the creation of that extra model ?
Can I do something like this isset($course->users->findByPk($userId)) ?
