Yii2 Search model, Invalid argument supplied for foreach

Question

I am new at Yii framework and I am facing this problem that when i am creating search model to add filters and sorting, it's not working, i already have tried this solution Yii2 ActiveDataProvider - Invalid argument supplied for foreach() and even generated the new models and controller but the result is same, it did not work.

Please have a look at the code and kindly tell me what i am doing wrong.

Controller

namespace backend\controllers;

use Yii;
use backend\models\Contacts;
use backend\models\ContactsSearch;
use yii\web\Controller;
use yii\web\NotFoundHttpException;
use yii\filters\VerbFilter;

/**
 * ContactsController implements the CRUD actions for Contacts model.
 */
class ContactsController extends Controller
{
    ...

    /**
     * Lists all Contacts models.
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $searchModel = new ContactsSearch();
        $dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);

        return $this->render('index', [
            'searchModel' => $searchModel,
            'dataProvider' => $dataProvider
        ]);
    }

    ...
}

Model

namespace backend\models;

use Yii;
use backend\models\User;

/**
 * This is the model class for table "user_contacts".
 *
 * @property string $id
 * @property string $user_id

class Contacts extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc

    public static function tableName()
    {
        return 'user_contacts';
    }

    /**

            [['user_id', 'contact_id'], 'unique', 'targetAttribute' => ['user_id', 'contact_id'], 'message' => 'The combination of User ID and Contact ID has already been taken.']
        ];
    }

    /**

    public function attributeLabels()
    {
        return [

            'modified_on' => Yii::t('app', 'Modified On')
        ];
    }

    /**
     * @return \yii\db\ActiveQuery
     */
    public function getContact()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(User::className(), ['id' => 'contact_id']);
    }

    /**
     * @return \yii\db\ActiveQuery
     */
    public function getUser()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(User::className(), ['id' => 'user_id']);
    }

     */

    }
