I can not update the value in the database Yii?

Question

I can not update the value in the database. Here's the code:

if($user = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('username'=>$verification->username)))
{
    //  Generating 8 random symbols for new password
    $new_password = substr(str_shuffle(str_repeat("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", 8)), 0, 8);

    //  Transfering password to MD5 hash with salt!
    $new_password = md5('salt'.$new_password);
    $user->password = $new_password;
    if($user->save())
{...

The debugger shows that the value and get it replaced (password), but when you save

if($user->save()) {

Gives false and resets to the most recent line of code:

$this->render('forget');

Questions:

1. How to find out what happened and why did not update the value?

2. How to find the error (error code, ...)?

Answer 1

As your last comment, If you have no repeat_password field into your table, add it by hand in your model. (User model). (Actually there is no need to have this field in your table.)

public $repeat_password

Then, define rules for the field. (for example, required and so on...)

To get validation error you can do like below:

CVarDumper::dump($model->getErrors(),56789,true);
