Yii form submition with CActiveForm - php

Question

i just need to do a registration form, i'm battling with completing this task with CActiveForm. Basically its just inserting a new db record on form submit. This is what i have,
MyView
<!--begin a form-->
<?php $form = $this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'user-registration-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
'enableClientValidation'=>true,
'focus'=>array($model,'firstName'),
)); ?>
<!--error handling-->
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'firstName'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'firstName'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'firstName'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'lastName'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'lastName'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'lastName'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'age'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'age'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'age'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
<!--end a form-->
My Controller that renders the above view, this where i'm stuck, I also created a model called User(haven't done any code in it, default)
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
public function actionIndex()
{
$model = User::
$this->render('index', array('model'=>$model));
}
}
From my research i found there is something like, jst dnt know how to use it

$post=new Post;
$post->title='sample post';
$post->content='post body content';
$post->save();
Thanks in advance

You need to do in your actionIndex:
public function actionIndex()
{
$model = new User;
if(isset($_POST['User']))
{
$model->attributes = $_POST['User'];
if($model->save())
//Do any stuff here. for example redirect to created user view.
}
$this->render('index', array('model'=>$model));
}
