Question

I’m getting a submitted form in this way:
$resume->attributes = $_POST['ResumeModel'];
$profile->attributes = $_POST['UserProfile'];

Both CActiveRecord models are correctly populated before this from the corresponding tables, they have the correct data and all.
Both models’ data is present on $_POST as modified by the form.
But it seems that the assignment to the attributes property works only for $profile and not for $resume.
If I check their values after that assignment, $profile doesn’t get the edits from the form.
Is there something in the definition of the model that can cause that? As far as I can see, both models are similarly implemented
I don’t understand why this happens, does anyone have a clue?
Thanks!

Answer 1

The problem is that some fields on the $resume model didn’t have any validation rules and weren’t declared as safe either, so they couldn’t be safely mass assigned.
