how to assign array to $model in yii - php

Question

Sorry. I was shorten my question because i was consider that, those users who work on yii can easily understand my question but now i am modifying so you can easily understand.
I want to update two different table at a time through single controller/view.
_form.php (update form)
<div class="form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'verse-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
)); ?>
<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,'topic_id'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'topic_id', $model->topic_id); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'topic_id'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'sorah_id'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'sorah_id', $model->topic_id); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'sorah_id'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'verse_text'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textArea($model,'verse_text',array('rows'=>6, 'cols'=>50)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'verse_text'); ?>
</div>
<?php
$trans = array();
foreach($model->verseTranslations as $p)
{
$trans[$p->id] = $p->translation_text;
}
?>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div><!-- form -->
I have an array in my _form.php file.
<?php
$trans = array();
foreach($model->verseTranslations as $p)
{
$trans[$p->id] = $p->translation_text;
}
?>
if i write print_r($trans); Its output like this.
Array ( [3] => In the name of ALLAH, most Gracious, most Compassionate. [4] => شروع الله کا نام لے کر جو بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا ہے [5] => En el nombre de Alá, el Compasivo, el Misericordioso )
Now I want to assign this variable i.e. $trans to $model in _form.php file of yii framework, so that i easily access it on controller and then easily submit it to the separate table.
I also want to use it in textArea.
Hope you understand my question.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer 1

instead of performing this task in view file , you should do it in the controller like
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new MODELNAME;
// your rest of code
$trans = array();
foreach($model->verseTranslations as $p)
{
$trans[$p->id] = $p->translation_text;
}
// and then you can send this variable to the view by rendering the view file
$this->render('create',array('model'=>$model,'trans'=>$trans));
}

Answer 2

You can not send an array from view to controller, but there is a way (No Professional Way) to send:
put it in a session in your view (_form):
<?php $_SESSION["t"]=$trans;?>
and catch it in controller and then destroy session.
$trans=$_SESSION["t"];
it is better to do such operations in controller itself, instead of doing it in view and pass it to controller!

Answer 3

Add new property on your model like this.
class YOUR_MODEL_WITH_TRANS extends ParentModel
{
public $trans;
---
}
Go to your view file and assign it easily like this.
$model->trans=$trans;
