Saving data to db yii2 - php

Question

I'm trying to save data from my form to db. But when I click "submit" button nothing happened(page is refresh but my db table is blank) what I did wrong?
I'm create model which extend ActiveRecord:
class EntryForm extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
public $id;
public $name;
public $email;
public $age;
public $height;
public $weight;
public $city;
public $checkboxList;
public $checkboxList1;
public $imageFiles;
public function rules()
{
return [
[['name', 'email','age','height','weight','city','checkboxList','checkboxList1'], 'required'],
[['imageFiles'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'extensions' => 'png, jpg','maxFiles' => 5],
['email', 'email'],
];
}
public static function tableName()
{
return 'form';
}
public function attributeLabels()
{
return [
'id' => 'ID',
'name' => 'name',
'email' => 'e-mail',
'age' => 'age',
'height' => 'height',
'weight' => 'weight',
'city' => 'city',
'checkboxList' => 'technies',
'checkboxList1' => 'english_level',
'imageFiles[0]' => 'photo_1',
'imageFiles[1]' => 'photo_2',
'imageFiles[2]' => 'photo_3',
'imageFiles[3]' => 'photo_4',
'imageFiles[4]' => 'photo_5'
];
}
public function insertFormData()
{
$entryForm = new EntryForm();
$entryForm->name = $this->name;
$entryForm->email = $this->email;
$entryForm->age = $this->age;
$entryForm->height = $this->height;
$entryForm->weight = $this->weight;
$entryForm->city = $this->city;
$entryForm->checkboxList = $this->checkboxList;
$entryForm->checkboxList1 = $this->checkboxList1;
$entryForm->imageFiles = $this->imageFiles;
return $form->save();
}
public function contact($email)
{
if ($this->validate()) {
Yii::$app->mailer->compose()
->setTo($email)
->setFrom('prozrostl#gmail.com')
->setSubject('Email from test app')
->setTextBody($this->name + $this->age + $this->height + $this->width + $this->city + $this->checkboxList + $this->checkboxList1 + $this->imageFiles)
->send();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
then I update my view file to show the form, view it's just easy few fields and upload files button(but all information doesn't save)
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
'id' => 'my-form',
'options' => ['enctype' => 'multipart/form-data']
]); ?>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'name')->textInput(['class'=>'name_class'])->input('name',['placeholder' => "Имя"])->label(false); ?>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'email')->textInput()->input('email',['placeholder' => "E-mail"])->label(false); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'age')->textInput()->input('age',['placeholder' => "Возраст(полных лет)"])->label(false); ?>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'height')->textInput()->input('height',['placeholder' => "Рост"])->label(false); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'weight')->textInput()->input('weight',['placeholder' => "Вес"])->label(false); ?>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'city')->textInput()->input('city',['placeholder' => "Город проживания"])->label(false); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
<p><img class="describe_images" src="computer.png"></img>Нужна ли техника в аренду</p>
</div>
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'checkboxList')->checkboxList(['no'=>'Нет', 'yes_camera'=>'Да,только камера', 'yes_both'=>'да,компьютер и камера'])->label(false) ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
<p><img class="describe_images" src="English.png"></img>Знание английского</p>
</div>
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'checkboxList1')->checkboxList(['starter'=>'Без знания', 'elementary'=>'Базовый', 'intermediate'=>'Средний','up-intermediate'=>'Высокий','advanced'=>'Превосходный'])->label(false) ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<p class="add_photo"><img class="describe_images" src="photo.png"></img>Добавить фото(до 5 штук)</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?= $form->field($entryForm, 'imageFiles[]')->fileInput(['multiple' => true, 'accept' => 'image/*','id'=>'gallery-photo-add'])->label(false) ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 pixels-line">
<div class="preview"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<?= Html::submitButton('Отправить', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) ?>
</div>
<?php ActiveForm::end() ?>
and then I add that code to my controller. I created new action ActionForm and put into that code:
public function actionForm()
{
$entryForm = new EntryForm();
if ($entryForm->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $entryForm->insertFormData()) {
}
}

Answer 1

Why do you redeclare the variables in the database? you're basically telling yii to ignore the attributes on the table.
public $id;
public $name;
public $email;
public $age;
public $height;
public $weight;
public $city;
public $checkboxList;
public $checkboxList1;
public $imageFiles;
Remove the public declarations and see if it works.

Answer 2

Your code looks ok, so probably you have some validation errors.
In the insertFormData() method add the following to get the validation errors:
if (!$entryForm->validate()){
var_dump($entryForm->getErrors());
}
Later edit:
Your insertFormData method is basically useless because the $entryForm->load loads the data from POST.
The second problem is probably with the file upload. To get the uploaded files use UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'imageFile'). More info here
I suggest you to create a crud using Gii (the crud generator) and then implement the file upload according to the documentation mentioned above. And in this case you will see the validation errors too.
