Getting An Error When Yii Tries To Read The User Role - php

Question

I'am a new in Yii and I'm trying to do a RBAC control in my web application. I write an authorization and registration pages and everything working perfect. But when I trying to read current user's role using Yii::app()->user->role I'm getting an error with the following content:
PHP warning
include(User.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
I did everything like in official cookbook. Honestly, I don't know why this happens that's why if someone could help me to solve this problem I will be very appreciated.
Here I wrote the steps which I did when writing the role based user control.
As mentioned in official Yii cookbook I created a simple database table named users where I defined the role attribute. Then I write a WebUser class:
class WebUser extends CWebUser {
private $_model = null;
function getRole() {
if($user = $this->getModel()){
return $user->role;
}
}
private function getModel(){
if (!$this->isGuest && $this->_model === null){
$this->_model = User::model()->findByPk($this->id, array('select' => 'role'));
}
return $this->_model;
}
}
Next step I changed the default realization of the UserIdentity::authentificate() method, where I trying to assign role to the current user:
public function authenticate()
{
$users = Users::model()->find('LOWER(name)=?', array(strtolower($this->name)));
if($users === null)
$this->errorCode = self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;
else if ($users->validatePassword(md5($this->password)))
$this->errorCode = self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;
else
{
$this->_id = $users->id;
$this->username = $users->name;
$auth=Yii::app()->authManager;
echo "user role = ".$users->role.", user id = ".$this->_id;
if(!$auth->isAssigned($users->role,$this->_id))
{
if($auth->assign($users->role,$this->_id))
{
Yii::app()->authManager->save();
}
}
$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;
}
return $this->errorCode == self::ERROR_NONE;
}
...
Finally, I declare all this components in the main web config file:
...
'import'=>array(
'application.models.*',
'application.components.*',
),
...
'components'=>array(
'user'=>array(
// enable cookie-based authentication
'class'=>'WebUser',
'allowAutoLogin'=>true,
),
'authManager' => array(
'class' => 'PhpAuthManager',
'defaultRoles' => array('guest'),
),
...

In getModel() you're using User::model(), but in authenticate() you're calling Users::model(), could it be that you're trying to call the wrong model class (it's Users instead of User)?
