How to save input in yii to database - php

Question

I have this code Im trying to save the content and the title from a form I made..It has an id that autoincrement the id number adds in the database but the title and the content isn't/cant be save in the database. Can you please check my code if I've done something wrong? or what I'm lacking at.
Here is my model ContentForm.php
<?php
class ContentForm extends CActiveRecord{
public $content;
public $title;
public function tableName(){
return 'tbl_content';
}
public function attributeLabels()
{
return array(
'contentid' => 'contentid',
'content' => 'content',
'title' => 'title',
// 'email' => 'Email',
// 'usrtype' => 'Usrtype',
);
}
Here is my view content.php
<div>
<p>User: <a href="viewuserpost">
<?php
echo Yii::app()->session['nameuser'];
?>
</a>
</p>
</div>
<h1>Content</h1>
<?php
$form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'contact-form',
'enableClientValidation'=>true,
'clientOptions'=>array(
'validateOnSubmit'=>true,
),
));
?>
Title:
<div class="row">
<?php
echo $form->textfield($model,'title');
?>
</div>
</br>
Body:
<div class="row">
<?php
echo $form->textArea($model,'content',array('rows'=>16,'cols'=>110));
?>
</div>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php
echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord? 'Create':'Save');
?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
and here is my content action in my sitecontroller.php
public function actionContent(){
$model=new ContentForm;
if(isset($_POST['ContentForm'])) {
$model->attributes=$_POST['ContentForm'];
if($model->save())
$this->redirect(array('content','contentid'=>$model->contentid));
$this->redirect(array('content','title'=>$model->title));
$this->redirect(array('content','content'=>$model->content));
}
$this->render('content',array('model'=>$model));
}
Please help.

Answer 1

Remove
public $content;
public $title;
from your class.
Yii uses PHP magic methods. And when you add attributes to your class, PHP doesn't call them but references to your explicitly written attributes.
Moreover, you should add some validation, if you use $model->attributes=$_POST['ContentForm'];. Another variant is to use unsecure $model->setAttributes($_POST[ContentForm], false) where false tells Yii to set all attributes, not only that are considered safe.
Note, that attributes is not real Model attribute, this is virtual attribute accessed through magic methods.
Also, you don't need three redirects. This is HTTP redirect to other page. This time, you just should just specify route to model view action and its parameter that is id, for example. Like this $this->redirect(array('content/view','id'=>$model->contentid));.
Of course, simplest way for you is to create new model and controller with actions using Gii.

Answer 2

you may missed rules , add this in your model ContentForm.php
public function rules()
{
return array(
array('content,title', 'safe'),
);
}
