Hope this will help you :
Your controller method message() should be like this :
public function message()
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules('message','Message', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('friend_id[]','Recipients', 'required');
if($this->form_validation->run())
{
$friend_ids = $this->input->post("friend_id[]");
$message = $this->input->post("message");
unset($data['submit']);
$this->load->model('Queries');
$insert = $this->Queries->saveMessage($friend_ids, $message);
if($insert)
{
echo "Success";
}
else
{
echo "error";
}
}
else
{
echo validation_errors();
}
}
Your model method saveMassage() should be like this :
public function saveMessage($friend_ids , $message)
{
foreach($friend_ids as $friend_id)
{
$record = array('friend_id' => $friend_id,'message' => $message);
$this->db->insert('tbl_messages', $record);
}
return true;
}
