Answer 1

Add an identifier on your employee attendance input name, so each employee have their own unique attendance dataset.
view :
...
<td><input type="checkbox" name="detail[<?php echo $no-1 ?>][]" value="<?php echo $list['details']"></td>
...
Since the attendance input is a multidimensional array, for the empty validation, you could use array_filter to check the whole attendance array.
And because of you are inserting an array data type into a single column, you need to concatenate it, you could use implode() function.
controller :
function add_attend()
{
$employee = $this->input->post('employee');
$location = $this->input->post('location');
$detail = $this->input->post('detail');
$note = $this->input->post('note');
$total = count($employee);
$filtered_detail = array_filter($detail);
if (empty($filtered_detail) === true) {
$errors['detail'] = 'please select one';
}
if (!empty($errors)){
$info['success'] = false;
$info['errors'] = $errors;
}
else {
for ($x=0; $x<$total; $x++){
$data = array(
'sn' => $employee[$x],
'lab' => $location[$x],
'stat' => (isset($detail[$x]) && !empty($detail[$x])) ? implode(",",$detail[$x]) : '',
'note' => $note[$x]
);
$this->m_human_capital->insert_attend($data);
}
$info['success'] = true;
}
$this->output->set_content_type('application/json')->set_output(json_encode($info));
}
