Yii dropDownList - where to do logic for selected item - php

Question

I'm trying to capture the value selected from a dropDownList from a CActiveForm and then do some logic on it after submit... to then run a query. Based on this query i would then update the gridview. This form doesn't have any attributes in a table that relate to it but its more so I can create a filter for my GridView after some logic.
Where would i perform this logic? I'm new to php, yii, and javascript so I'd appreciate at least pointing me to the right direction. I've tried to look at yii documentation and books but haven't found what i need. i think I'm missing something critical from php and web dev to be stuck on something so trivial as a drop down.
This is my view for admin.php which then calls the advanced_search.php form by renderPartial
<?php
/* #var $this UserController */
/* #var $model User */
$this->breadcrumbs=array(
'Manage Users',
);
/*$this->menu=array(
array('label'=>'List User', 'url'=>array('index')),
array('label'=>'Create User', 'url'=>array('create')),
);
*/
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('search', "
$('.asearch-button').click(function(){
$('.asearch-form').toggle();
$('.bsearch-form').toggle();
return false;
});
$('.bsearch-button').click(function(){
$('.bsearch-form').toggle();
$('.asearch-form').toggle();
return false;
});
$('.bsearch-form form').submit(function(){
$('#user-grid').yiiGridView('update', {
data: $(this).serialize()
});
return false;
});
$('.asearch-form form').submit(function(){
$('#user-grid').yiiGridView('update', {
data: $(this).serialize()

return false;

Answer 1

OK I do not know what kind logic you were trying. I guess you want to list the data based on search criteria given in advanced_search.php. You need to write the logic for results in Search function.
If you are unable to understand let me know. Also activated, disable, isProMentor etc are individual fields? Or paste your entire model User.php here
$criteria->compare('activated', $this->activated);
$criteria->compare('disable', $this->disable);
$criteria->compare('isProMentor', $this->isProMentor);
$criteria->compare('isPerMentor', $this->isPerMentor);
$criteria->compare('isDomMentor', $this->isDomMentor);
$criteria->compare('isStudent', $this->isStudent);
$criteria->compare('isMentee', $this->isMentee);
