yii - insert data into two tables via single form - php

Question

I am very much a novice with PHP and the Yii framework.
Click here to see a sample of my SQL database setup http://i.stack.imgur.com/W6qQj.png
I have set up controllers and models for all three tables and have set up CRUD views from Gii for the Users table. I have read through this -> http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/19/how-to-use-a-single-form-to-collect-data-for-two-or-more-models/ and tried multiple sets of code examples etc... and failed. The best I can do is get the create form to insert all the data into the users table but not the email table. I believe my short coming is in my UsersController.php -> public function actionCreate() section. Can someone help me out with a sample piece of code to make the information post into the email table?
---EDIT---
As requested below is the requested info...
UsersController.php
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new Users;
if (isset($_POST['Users'])) {
$model->attributes = $_POST['Users'];
$model->password=crypt($model->password,'salt');
$model->datecreated = new CDbExpression('NOW()');
if ($model->save()) {
$modelEmail = new Email;
$modelEmail->attributes = $_POST['Email'];
$modelEmail->fer_users_id = $model->id;
if ($modelEmail->save())
$this->redirect(array('view', 'id' => $model->id));
}
}
$this->render('create', array(
'model' => $model,
));
}
This is the users/_form.php view file:
<div class="form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'users-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
)); ?>
<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'username'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'username',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'username'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'password'); ?>
<?php echo $form->passwordField($model,'password',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'password'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'firstname'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'firstname',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'firstname'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'lastname'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'lastname',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'lastname'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx(Email::model(),'emailaddress'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField(Email::model(),'emailaddress',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error(Email::model(),'emailaddress'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'fer_roles_id'); ?>
<?php
echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'fer_roles_id',
CHtml::listData(Roles::model()->findAll(), 'id', 'description'),
array('class' => 'my-drop-down', 'options' => array('2' => array('selected' => "selected")
)
)
);
?>
</div>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div>

you could do this:
Controller:
<?php
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new Users;
$model1 = new Email;
$roles = Roles::model()->findAll();
if(isset($_POST['Users']))
{
$model->attributes = $_POST['Users'];
$model->password = crypt($model->password, 'salt');
$model->datecreated = new CDbExpression('NOW()');
$model->save();
$model1->attributes = $_POST['Users']['emailaddress'];
$model1->fer_users_id = $model->id;
$model1->save();
$this->redirect(array('view', 'id' => $model->id));
}
$this->render('create', array(
'user'=>$model,
'email'=>$model1,
'roles'=> $roles
));
}
?>
your view:
<div class="form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'users-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
)); ?>
<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($user); ?>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($user,'username'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($user,'username',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($user,'username'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($user,'password'); ?>
<?php echo $form->passwordField($user,'password',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($user,'password'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($user,'firstname'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($user,'firstname',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($user,'firstname'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($user,'lastname'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($user,'lastname',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($user,'lastname'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($email,'emailaddress'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($email,'emailaddress',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($email,'emailaddress'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($user,'fer_roles_id'); ?>
<?php
echo $form->dropDownList($user, 'fer_roles_id',
CHtml::listData($roles, 'id', 'description'),
array('class' => 'my-drop-down', 'options' => array('2' => array('selected' => "selected")
)
)
);
?>
</div>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($user->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div>
if you get any error with this, let me know..
