Question

I am new to yii.. I am developing a form in which i am having a registration form in which i need to get education details of a student. It includes

                'Post Graduation',
                'Graduation' and 
                'Schooling' 

details. Each of this will be having pass year, qualification etc fields.

public function attributeLabels()
    {
        return array(
            'id' => 'ID',
            'user_id' => 'User',
            'qualification_id' => 'Qualification',
            'specialization_id' => 'Specialization',
            'pass_year' => 'Pass Year',
            'university_id' => 'University',
            'duration_from' => 'Duration From',
            'duration_to' => 'Duration To',
            'percentage_marks' => '% of Marks / GPA',
            'course_type_id' => 'Course Type',
            'awards' => 'Awards & Scholarships',
        );
    }

How can i use the same model to create similar elements to get these details separately for

                'Post Graduation',
                'Graduation' and 
                'Schooling' 

I tried by creating different objects for the model and including them in the form.

    $postGraduate = new CandidateQualification;
    $graduate = new CandidateQualification;
    $preGraduate = new CandidateQualification;

But this create problem as all of them will be having same name and validation also wont help. Please provide any solution.

Thanks in advance.

Use scenario`s Luke.

Scenarios are an extremely useful tool for separating validation tasks on any class you use derived from CModel. In this tutorial we will use CActiveRecord.
