Always fail to validate in Yii - php

Question

I've been confused with validation rules in Yii. I am sure when I give inputs there is no mistakes, corresponds to the rules given.
This is the validation rules in my model:
// public $user_phone; //updated: this isn't necessary
public $maxId;
...
public function rules()
{
// NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
// will receive user inputs.
return array(
array('user_phone', 'required', 'message'=>'{attribute} cannot be empty.<br />'),
array('user_phone', 'length', 'max'=>12),
// The following rule is used by search().
// Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.
array('user_phone', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'),
);
}
This is when I call the validation function in the controller:
Updated: Added the assignment of the model's attributes
public function actionOrder(){
$order = new IptvOrder;
if(isset($_POST["IptvOrder"])) {
$order->attributes = $_POST["IptvOrder"]; // this is what I forgot
// some assignments to $id, $phone, $date, $time
if($order->validate()) {
$order->addOrder($id, $phone, $date, $time);
$this->redirect(array('order/orderConfirm'));
}
...blablabla...
}
And I put the validation error message in the view:
...blablabla...
<?php
echo $form->label($order,'Phone Number');
echo "<font color='red'> *</font>";
echo "<span style='font-size:10pt; color:#888888'><br/>Digunakan untuk konfirmasi pemesanan. Kerahasiaan kami jamin.</span><br/>";
echo $form->textField($order,'user_phone');
echo "<font color='red'>".$form->error($order, 'user_phone')."</font>";
?>
echo CHtml::submitButton('Pesan Sekarang', array('confirm' => 'Apakah anda yakin?
Silahkan cek pemesanan anda terlebih dahulu.'));
...blablabla...
// $form is CActiveForm, $order is the model
And it won't be redirected to order/orderConfirm although the textfield is not empty. Anybody can help? Thanks :)

Dump $order->attributes check the attribute user_phone has content or empty
Print out what your given error is from $order->getErrors()
About max length validation, because your input for that field is phone number, I exclude the possible of ASCII letter like below case

Updated: If your model name was Order as example, you should have to look like before you perform the validation
if(isset($_POST['Order']))
{
$order->attributes=$_POST['Order']; //<== Make sure you have set data for your order model before performing a validation
//validate part
...
}
