Question

I am using PHP Yii Framework with MongoDB(yiimongodbsuite). I have created a Model which extends from EMongoDocument.

<?php

 class MyModel extends EMongoDocument
 {
     public $attr1;
     public $attr2;

     // rules, custom validations and other functions....

     public function setAttributes($values, $safeOnly=true)
     {
      if(!is_array($values))
        return;

      if($this->hasEmbeddedDocuments())
      {
        $attributes=array_flip($safeOnly ? $this->getSafeAttributeNames() : $this->attributeNames());

        foreach($this->embeddedDocuments() as $fieldName => $className)
            if(isset($values[$fieldName]) && isset($attributes[$fieldName]))
            {
                $this->$fieldName->setAttributes($values[$fieldName], $safeOnly);
                unset($values[$fieldName]);
            }
       }

    parent::setAttributes($values, $safeOnly);
    }
  }

In Controller,

$dataModel = new MyModel();
$dataModel->setAttributes($_POST['MyModel']);
if($dataModel->validate()){
    $dataModel->save();
}

the above code is not setting the attribute value.
Please let me know if there is any mistake.

You need to make sure that the ‘safe’ validation rules is used on each level.
