Edit table-cells in a view - arrays

Question

Yii Version 1.1.15
I have a model which contains a serialized array (table) in an attribut. Showing this array as a table in a view works fine.
But I want to update the table-cells and then again save the array serialized in the model. And this does not work. The output stops there (*) without errors.
Here you can see what I did:
$model->table contains a serialized array. The unserialized array looks like this:
array(
array('dog', 'cat', 'cow'),
array('meat', 'milk', 'gras'),
)
I unserialize the table in the controller:
controller: contactController.php
$model = Contact::model()->findByPk((int) $id);
$table = unserialize($model->input)
$this->render('contact_form', array(
'table' => $table));
}
And now I want to show and edit the array $table in a form as a html-table:
view: contact_form.php
<?php
$form = $this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id' => 'contact-form',
));
?>
<table border="2">
<?php foreach ($table as $row): ?>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($row as $value): ?>
<td>
<!-- (*) output stops here, without errors -->
<?= $form->textArea($value, '', array('rows' => 3, 'cols' => 20)); ?>
</td>
<?php endforeach ?>
</tr>
<?php endforeach ?>
</table>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton("save"); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
The output stops before "... textArea ...".
If I only show $table in a view (without a form) it works like a charme:
<table border="2">
<?php foreach ($table as $row): ?>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($row as $value): ?>
<td><?= CHtml::encode($value) ?></td>
<?php endforeach ?>
</tr>
<?php endforeach ?>
</table>
Hope this helps to help me :-) How can I get this nice idea working?

Answer 1

Actually you are missing the arguments of CactiveForm.textArea(.......)
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CActiveForm#textArea-detail
textArea($value, '', array('rows' => 3, 'cols' => 20)); ?>
Instead of it your code should be
textArea($model, $value, array('rows' => 3, 'cols' => 20)); ?>
