[FIXED] How to add a class to a Yii form label?

Issue

To generate the following markup:

<label class="foo">Bar</label>

The PHP will look something like:

<?php echo $form->label($model,'username'); ?>

Seems like it should be part of the htmlOptions parameter to label(), but I couldn't really figure it out.

From Yii's doc:

public string label(CModel $model, string $attribute, array $htmlOptions=array ( ))

Ref:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CActiveForm#label-detail

Solution

As the doc says, $htmlOptions is an array of additional HTML attributes. The keys are the attribute, while the values are the attribute values, so to add a class attribute to the label:

<?php echo $form->label( $model,'username', array('class'=>'className') ); ?>
