Yii features:

Wikipedia: Yii Features

• Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
• Database Access Objects (DAO), query builder, Active Record and database migration.
• Integration with jQuery.
• Form input and validation.
• Ajax-enabled widgets, such as auto-complete input field, tree view, and so on.
• Built-in authentication support. It also supports authorization via hierarchical role-based access control (RBAC).
• Skinning and theming.
• Automatic generation of complex WSDL service specifications and management of Web service request handling.
• Internationalization and localization (I18N and L10N). It supports message translation, date and time formatting, number formatting, and interface localization.
• Layered caching scheme. It supports data caching, page caching, fragment caching and dynamic content. The storage medium of caching can be changed.
• Error handling and logging. Errors are handled and presented more nicely, and log messages can be categorized, filtered and routed to different destinations.
• Security measures include cross-site scripting (XSS) prevention, cross-site request forgery (CSRF) prevention, cookie tampering prevention, etc.
• Unit and functionality testing based on PHPUnit and Selenium.
• Automatic code generation for the skeleton application, CRUD applications, etc.
• Code generated by Yii components and command line tools complies to the XHTML standard.
• Carefully designed to work well with third-party code. For example, it’s possible to use code from PEAR or Zend Framework in a Yii application.

First Create A Form :[application/views/enquiry_view.php] <?php [...]]]> This article will show and explain to you , how to create simple Enquiry Form in CodeIgniter. In this Example we will have a Form with Name , E-Mail ID, Phone Number, Enquiry fields. Here in this example we use codeIgniter Form helper[$this->load->helper(‘form’)] and CI Form Validation Library [$this->load->library(‘form_validation’)].

First Create A Form :[application/views/enquiry_view.php]

<?php 
$name = array('name' => 'name','id' => 'nameID','value' => set_value('name'));
$email = array('name' => 'email','id' => 'emailID','value' => set_value('email'));
$phone = array('name' => 'phone','id' => 'phoneID','value' => set_value('phone'));
$enquiry = array('name' => 'enquiry','id' => 'enquiryID','value' => set_value('enquiry'));
 
echo form_open();
 
echo form_label('Name','name');
echo form_input($name);
echo form_error('name');
echo br();
echo form_label('Email ID','email');
echo form_input($email);
echo form_error('email');
echo br();
echo form_label('Phone No.','Phone');
echo form_input($phone);
echo form_error('phone');
echo br();
echo form_label('Enquiry','enquiry');
echo form_textarea($enquiry);
echo form_error('enquiry');
echo br();
echo form_submit('submit','submit');
 
echo form_close();
?>

Create a Controller application/controllers/enquiry.php

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Enquiry extends CI_Controller {
 
	public function index()
	{
		$this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
		$this->load->library(array('form_validation'));
		// set validation Rules
		$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'name', 'required|trim|');
		$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'email', 'required|valid_email|trim');
		$this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', 'phone', 'required|trim|callback__validate_phone_number');
		$this->form_validation->set_rules('enquiry', 'enquiry', 'required|trim');		
		// check for validation result
		if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
		{
			$this->load->view('enquiry_view');
		}
		else
		{
			// load CI Email Libray

			//$this->email->cc('');
			//$this->email->bcc('');
 
			$this->email->subject($this->data['subject']);
		$this->email->message($this->load->view('enquiry_email_html', $this->data, TRUE));
		//$this->email->set_alt_message($this->load->view('enquiry_email_text', $this->data, TRUE));
 
			if($this->email->send()) {
				echo 'Email sent';
			}
 
		}
	}
 
	function _validate_phone_number($value) {
	$value = trim($value);
	$match = '/^\(?[0-9]{3}\)?[-. ]?[0-9]{3}[-. ]?[0-9]{4}$/';
	$replace = '/^\(?([0-9]{3})\)?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$/';
	$return = '($1) $2-$3';
    if (preg_match($match, $value)) {
    	return preg_replace($replace, $return, $value);
    } else {
    	$this->form_validation->set_message('_validate_phone_number', 'Invalid Phone.');
	return false;
    }
}
 
}

Create a file for html Email in views [application/views/enquiry_email_html.php]

*/
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";

Here ,This post is about uploading files in CodeIgniter, CodeIgniter has upload library , by using this Class we can upload files on server very easily

For Uploading a file as usually we need a Simple HTML from, with a input field and submit button.

here is the code :

<?php 
 echo $error;
 echo form_open_multipart('arjun/do_upload');
 echo form_input(array('type' => 'file','name' => 'userfile'));
 echo form_submit('submit','upload'); 
 echo form_close(); 
 ?>

NOw, in you Controller method , you need to set some config settings like uploading path, allowed types, upload size, width, height……ect..

    function do_upload()
	{
		// load codeigniter helpers
		$this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
		// set path to store uploaded files
		$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
		// set allowed file types
		$config['allowed_types'] = 'pdf';
		// set upload limit, set 0 for no limit
		$config['max_size']	= 0;
 
		// load upload library with custom config settings
		$this->load->library('upload', $config);
 
		 // if upload failed , display errors
		if (!$this->upload->do_upload())
		{
			$this->data['error'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
		     $this->data['page_data'] = 'admin/upload_view';
		     $this->load->view('admin/admin', $this->data);
		 }
		else
		{
			  print_r($this->upload->data());
			 // print uploaded file data
		}
	}

if you need to upload large files, you need to increase Max file uploading limit in php.ini on your server, you can increase upload limit with htaccess.

The file type you are attempting to upload is not allowed. PDF file uploading in CodeIgniter

if you see “The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed” error while uploading pdf files, just go to config/mines.php file open it and change the bellow line

'pdf'	=>	array('application/pdf', 'application/x-download'),

to

'pdf' => array('application/pdf', 'application/x-pdf', 'application/x-download', 'binary/octet-stream', 'application/unknown', 'application/force-download'),

either in pixels or em or percentage units.

For example if you have a div with class name container, set the margin to container left and right sides auto, set the container with to 1000px ,This horizontally centers the element(container div) with respect to the edges of the container block.

<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
	/* IE-6 hack */
	text-align: center;
	/*some browsers add margins and padding by default, remove them*/
	padding: 0px;
	margin: 0px;
	color: #fff;
}
div#container {
	/* reset text centering*/
	text-align: left;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
	width: 100px;
	background: #000;
}
</style>

<body>
<div id="container">
  <p>Hello World </p>
