version 0.5 Page 113 Quoting from the book: "The view files generated by Gii have comments at the top of them that indicate the variables that were passed to the view file. For protected/views/site/index.php, that’s: <?php /* @var $this SiteController */ For protected/views/user/create.php, you’ll see: <?php /* @var $this UserController */ /* @var $model User */ " My question: What actual variables are passed? Is SiteController a variable? Is UserController a variable? What exactly does "$model User" mean? Thanks.

Can anyone help me get the sample data and SQL commands into Workbench? The book says "You can download the complete SQL commands, along with some sample data, from the account page on the book’s Web site." (Page 64) Are these files for use in MySQL Workbench? If so, how can I get the commands and sample data into Workbench? I have already opened the yii_cms.mwb fil in Workbench, and I can see the visual of the table relationships. But I don't know how to import the data and SQL commands. This is not obvious to me, since Workbench is new for me. I have already downloaded and unzipped these files: SQL commands MySQL WorkBench file for the CMS site Edited Code for the CMS Example I am using version 0.5 of Larry Ullman's Yii book. I'm on Win XP, with XAMPP and Workbench running. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
