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.
