This method provides a convenient shortcut for:
php
if (isset($_POST['FormName'])) {
$model->attributes = $_POST['FormName'];
if ($model->save()) {
handle success
}
}
which, with load() can be written as:
php
if ($model->load($_POST) && $model->save()) {
handle success
}
load() gets the 'FormName' from the model's Model::formName method (which you may override), unless the
$formName parameter is given. If the form name is empty, load() populates the model with the whole of $data,
instead of $data['FormName'].
Note, that the data being populated is subject to the safety check by Model::setAttributes.
public load ( array $data, string $formName = null ) : boolean | ||
$data | array | the data array to load, typically `$_POST` or `$_GET`. |
$formName | string | the form name to use to load the data into the model. If not set, [[formName()]] is used. |
return | boolean | whether `load()` found the expected form in `$data`. |
