Validation fails on dropdown list input item

Friends,

I have a registration form with several items and the drop down list on these items seems like its not being picked up by the form submission.

The View:

 </div>
    <div class="row">
        <?php echo CHtml::activeLabel($model, 'Gjinia'); ?>
        <?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('sex', 0, $data = array(0 => 'Mashkull', 1 => 'Femer'))
        ?>
    </div>

    <div class="row">
        <?php echo CHtml::activeLabel($model, 'Arsimimi'); ?>
        <?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('education', 0, $data = array(0 => 'Ulet', 1 => 'Mesem', 2 => 'Larte')) ?>
    </div>

    <div class="row">
        <?php echo CHtml::activeLabel($model, 'Statusi Martesor'); ?>
        <?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('marital_status', 0, $data = array(0 => 'Beqar/e', 1 => 'I/E divorcuar', 2 => 'I/E martuar', 3 => 'I/E veje')) ?>
    </div>

Validation rules:

public function rules() {
        // NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
        // will receive user inputs.
        return array(
            array('name, lastname, sex, education, 
                marital_status, employment, 
                dob, municipality, address, 
                cell_no, email, initialPassword, 
                repeatPassword', 'required'),
            array('sex, employment, municipality,', 'numerical', 'integerOnly' => true),
            array('email, initialPassword, repeatPassword, name, lastname', 'length', 'max' => 100),
            array('initialPassword, repeatPassword', 'required', 'on' => 'insert'),
            array('initialPassword, repeatPassword', 'length', 'min' => 6, 'max' => 40),
            array('initialPassword', 'compare', 'compareAttribute' => 'repeatPassword'),
        );
    }

After submitting my form I am getting the following when I do a print_r on $_POST['Auser']:

Array ( [name] => Name [lastname] => Lname [address] => B ellit 
[cell_no] => 044 568 178 [email] => [email protected] [id] => [sex] => 
[education] => [marital_status] => [employment] => [industry] => [dob] => 
[municipality] => [password] => )

and the error message:

Sex cannot be blank. 
Education cannot be blank.  
Marital Status cannot be blank. 
Employment cannot be blank. 
Dob cannot be blank.
Municipality cannot be blank.

Your dropdownlist should be defined like this:

 <div class="row">
    <?php echo CHtml::activeLabel($model, 'Statusi Martesor'); ?>
    <?php echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model, 'marital_status', array(0 => 'Beqar/e', 1 => 'I/E divorcuar', 2 => 'I/E martuar', 3 => 'I/E veje')) ?>
</div>

Instead of:

<div class="row">
    <?php echo CHtml::activeLabel($model, 'Statusi Martesor'); ?>
    <?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('marital_status', 0, $data = array(0 => 'Beqar/e', 1 => 'I/E divorcuar', 2 => 'I/E martuar', 3 => 'I/E veje')) ?>
</div>

In the first instance (where I used CHtml::activeDropDownList($model, 'attribute_name')), you can access your dropdown attributes after doing $model->attributes = $_POST['ModelName']; like this $model->sex, $model->marital_status because the POST array is ging to be like: $_POST['ModelName']['sex'], $_POST['ModelName']['marital_status']

When you use CHtml::dropDownList('field_name', 'selected_value', array('option1', 'option2')), the POST array is of the form $_POST['field_name'] and for ActiveRecord, what you want is $_POST['ModelName']['field_name']

I hope that solves your question.
