Question

I am fairly new to Yii and I have a small problem, but cannot figure it out. The problem is that when i call in Yii in one of my models (active records) $this->attributes = ‘something’; I get error “Property “SiteController.attributes” is not defined.”

I have this in controller:

public function actionIndex()
{
    // Create new clients active record
    $client = new Clients;

    // Check if user send some request
    if (isSet($_POST)){
        switch($_POST["action"]){
            case 'newClient':
                $registered = $client::addClient($_POST);
        }
    }

    // render the view
    $this->render('landing',array(
        // Objects
        'client' => $client,
        // Variables
        'registered' => $registered,
    ));

    return true;
}

and this in the model:

public function addClient($data){
    // Set data
    $this->attributes = $data["Clients"];
    $this->password = self::generatePassword(6);

    // Proceed
    $this->setScenario('insert');

    return true;
}

The functions are not complete of course but this is where i get the error. What is it exactly I’m doing wrong? Thank you

You are calling the function as static method.

$registered = $client::addClient($_POST);

should be

$registered = $client->addClient($_POST);
