Fetch data from database in codeigniter - php

Question

I have 2 cases where i am fetching the entire data and total number of rows of a same table in codeigniter, I wish to know that is there a way through which i can fetch total number of rows, entire data and 3 latest inserted records from the same table through one code
Controller code for both cases is as given below (although i am applying it for each case seperately with different parameters)
public function dashboard()
{
$data['instant_req'] = $this->admin_model->getreq();
$this->load->view('admin/dashboard',$data);
}
1) to fetch the entire data from a table in codeigniter
Model Code
public function getreq()
{
$this->db->where('status','pending');
$query=$this->db->get('instanthire');
return $query->result();
}
View Code
foreach ($instant_req as $perreq)
{
echo $perreq->fullname;
echo "<br>";
}
2) to fetch number of rows from a table in codeigniter
public function getreq()
{
$this->db->where('status','pending');
$query=$this->db->get('instanthire');
return $query->num_rows();
}
View Code
echo $instant_req;

Answer 1

You can make only one function that gives you the all data at once total number of rows, entire data and 3 latest inserted records
for example in the model
public function getreq()
{
$this->db->where('status','pending');
$query=$this->db->get('instanthire');
$result=$query->result();
$num_rows=$query->num_rows();
$last_three_record=array_slice($result,-3,3,true);
return array("all_data"=>$result,"num_rows"=>$num_rows,"last_three"=>$last_three_record);
}
in controller dashboard function
public function dashboard()
{
$result = $this->admin_model->getreq();
$this->load->view('admin/dashboard',$result);
}
in view
foreach ($all_data as $perreq)
{
echo $perreq->fullname;
echo "<br>";
}
//latest three record
foreach ($last_three as $perreq)
{
echo $perreq->fullname;
echo "<br>";
}
//total count
echo $num_rows;

Answer 2

Raw query may work here.
$resultSet = $this->db->query("select * from table_name");
$queryCount = count($resultSet );

Answer 3

Try this logic :
Model code :
public function getreq()
{
$this->db->where('status','pending');
$this->db->order_by('id', 'DESC'); //actual field name of id
$query=$this->db->get('instanthire');
return $query->result();
}
Controller Code :
public function dashboard()
{
$data['instant_req'] = $this->admin_model->getreq();
$data['total_record'] = count($data['instant_req']);
$this->load->view('admin/dashboard',$data);
}
View Code:
$i=0;
foreach ($instant_req as $perreq)
{
if($i<3){
echo $perreq->fullname;
echo "<br>";
}
$i++;
}
Echo 'Total record : '.$total_record;

Answer 4

Function
function getData($limit = 0){
//Create empty array
$data = [];
//Where clause
$this->db->where('status','pending');
//Order Data based on latest ID
$this->db->order_by('id', 'DESC');
if($limit != 0){
$this->db->limit($limit);
}
//Get the Data
$query = $this->db->get('instanthire');
$data['count'] = $query->num_rows();
$data['result'] = $query->result();
return $data;
}
Calls
//Last 3 Inserted
$data = getData(3);
//All Data
$data = getData();

Answer 5

Here is a simple solution that I can first think of but if you want me to maybe improve I can.
Just stick with your first code(Model) and in the view count how many items are iterated through.
$count = 0;
foreach ($instant_req as $perreq)
{
echo $perreq->fullname;
echo "<br>";
$count++;
}
echo $count;
Am I still missing something? just let me know
EDIT:
This is another solution, return an array
public function getreq()
{
$this->db->where('status','pending');
$query=$this->db->get('instanthire');
$data['results'] = $query->result();
$data['count'] = $query->num_rows();
return $data
}
I'm not very confident and haven't really tried this but on top of my head I think it can work.

Answer 6

Model:
public function getreq()
{
$res = $this->db->order_by("<place column primary id>","desc")->get_where('instanthire',['status'=> 'pending']);
$latest_3 = [];
if(count($res)){
$i=1;
foreach($res as $r){
$latest_3[]=$r;
if($i == 3)
break;
$i++;
}
}
$arr = [
'latest_3' => $latest_3,
'count' => count($res),
'total_result' => $res,
];
return $arr;
}
