I want to take user birth day into my database and there is a field in the table called dob. When I created model and CRUD it generated text field for dob as always. But I want to create three inputs.
- For years
- For Months
- and for dates
So my question is how to add extra inputs in the model's form. I was thinking of adding new attributes to the model class but there are no such attributes in the table.
Add the fields to your model:
public $year;
public $month;
public $date;
Add these methods to your model:
protected function afterFind() {
parent::afterFind();
$dob = explode('/', $this->dob);
$this->year = $dob[0];
$this->month = $dob[1];
$this->date = $dob[2];
return $this;
}
protected function beforeSave() {
parent::beforeSave();
$this->dob = $this->year .'/'. $this->month .'/'. $this->date;
return $this;
}
You can now use them in your CActiveForm form:
<?php echo $form->textField($model, 'year'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model, 'month'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model, 'date'); ?>
