update method not working in codeigniter - php

Question

I have problem in updating fields in database via codeigniter update method
My controller:
$database = array(
'last_location' => $url[5]."-".$url[6],
'last_date_location' => $url[3]." ".$url[4],
);
$user = $this->API_model->get_user($url[0]);
print_r($user);
if ($this->db->update('user', $database , $user['id']) === true) {
print_r($database);
echo "MEI_TRUE";
}else {
echo "MEI_FALSE";
}
browser return MEI_TRUE that mean database successfully updated but when I check database in phpmyadmin nothing changed :(
what 's the problem?

Answer 1

It should work now.
$database = array(
'last_location' => $url[5]."-".$url[6],
'last_date_location' => $url[3]." ".$url[4],
);
$user = $this->API_model->get_user($url[0]);
print_r($user);
$query = $this->db->where('id',$user['id'])
->update('user', $database);
if ($query) {
print_r($database);
echo "MEI_TRUE";
}else {
echo "MEI_FALSE";
}

Answer 2

Can you try something like below,
$database = array(
'last_location' => $url[5]."-".$url[6],
'last_date_location' => $url[3]." ".$url[4],
);
$this->db->where('id', $user['id']);
$this->db->update('user', $database );
Hope this will help you

Answer 3

the thing is - what do you want to update ?
the 3rd parameter of the update query lets you enable the where clause as a string
although your example is pretty dangerous, try the following
if ($this->db->update('user', $database , "id = ".$user['id']) === true)
{
print_r($database);
echo "MEI_TRUE";
}
else
{
echo "MEI_FALSE";
}
the better way would be (as Dhanesh already mentioned):
$blnUpdateSuccess = $this->db->where("id", $user['id'])->update("user",$database);
if ($blnUpdateSuccess)
{
print_r($database);
echo "MEI_TRUE";
}
else
{
echo "MEI_FALSE";
}
