Basic Hidden field in yii
Solution 1
in views
hidden field with model and form:
<?php echo $form->hiddenField($model, 'name'); ?>
or without model
<?php echo CHtml::hiddenField('name' , 'value', array('id' => 'hiddenInput')); ?>
Solution 2
Yii hidden input :
<?php echo $form->hiddenField($model,'fieldName',array('value'=>'foo bar')); ?>
Solution 3
In Yii2 this has changed too:
<?= Html::activeHiddenInput($model, 'name') ;?>

Solution 4
Yii 1
<?php echo $form->hiddenField($model, 'name'); ?>
Yii2
<?= Html::activeHiddenInput($model, 'attribute', ['value' => 'Some Value']) ?>
Also, worth noting for Yii2, the array parameter works different to a normal form field. E.G. A normal input would look more like this.
<?= $form->field($model, 'attribute', ['inputOptions' => ['placeholder' => 'Some Placeholder', 'value' => 'Some Input Value']]) ?>
Hope this helps.
Solution 5
if data from database and value or size field:
echo $form->hiddenField($experience,'job_title',array('size'=>'50','value'=>$experience_data['job_title'])); ?>

I'm trying to place data in hidden text in yii, but I don't know how. I need a similar code to a regular php syntax:
<input type="hidden" name="field_name" value="a"/>
It's supposed to be a field with static value of a. I just need it to go with my $_POST variables for error checking.
Is it possible to avoid modifying the models and controllers just to put the field in?I cant use gii cause I only have snippets of code with me.Sorry as well as I have little understanding of yii so I have no clue if what I'm saying about the last 2 sentences is correct.
