Question

I have the action:

UPDATED Action in Item Controller. Action called from ajaxLink in item/view/#

public function actionAddInterest() {
            $itm= Item::model()->find("`ItemId` = :itm", array(':itm' => $_GET['ItemId']));
            $connection = yii::app()->db;
            $sql1 = "INSERT INTO interest (UserId, ItemId)
                        VALUES(:usr, :itm)";
            $command=$connection->createCommand($sql1);

            $command->bindValue(":usr", Yii::app()->user->id);
            $command->bindValue(":itm", $itm);
            $command->execute();
        } 

I also tried dumping the variable and through firebug the response for this…returns NULL. So something is not working with the $_GET.

$itm= Item::model()->find("`ItemId` = :itm", array(':itm' => $_GET['ItemId']));
var_dump($itm);
die();

ORIGINAL

 public function actionAddInterest() {
        $model = new Item;
        $connection = yii::app()->db;
        $sql1 = "INSERT INTO interest (UserId, ItemId)
                    VALUES(:usr, :itm)";
        $command=$connection->createCommand($sql1);

        $command->bindValue(":usr", Yii::app()->user->id);
        $command->bindValue(":itm", $model->ItemId);
        // $command->bindValue(":itm", $model->ItemId, PDO::PARAM_INT);  //also tried
        $command->execute();
    } 

No value is being captured from $model->ItemId though and it returns a NULL for the input. What am I missing here?

Thanks for the help everyone.

To be complete here is the solution..

I have to add

'data' => array('ItemId' => $model->ItemId),

to

<?php 
  echo CHtml::ajaxLink(
    'Add Interest',          
    array('/item/addInterest'), 
    array(
      'data' => array('ItemId' => $model->ItemId),
      'update'=>'#int_res'
      )
  );
?>

This is the ajaxLink that calls the action.
