if you don't want it to validate just do **$method->save(false);**

### what's the difference between exit and Yii::app()->end()
 
 
#### Answer:
 
Both terminates the application. But end method calls onEndRequest event before doing the exit...
 
In this case as in a lot of others the source code explains itself very-well
 
 
 
 
```php 
public function end($status=0, $exit=true)
 
{
 
    if($this->hasEventHandler('onEndRequest'))
 
        $this->onEndRequest(new CEvent($this));
 
    if($exit)
 
        exit($status);
 
}
 
```
