CodeIgniter dropdown from multiple table - php

Question

I am new to codeigniter and I am working on some project and I happen to need to display a drop down but filled with data from two or more tables. I don't know if join will solve the problem. Here is my view code:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Store Name</label>
<select class="form-control" id="store" name="store">
<?php foreach($dataget as $val)
{
?>
<option value="<?php echo $val->Store;?>"><?php echo $val->Store;?></option>
<?php
}
foreach($storename as $value)
{
?>
<option value="<?php echo $value['StoreName'];?>"><?php echo $value['StoreName'];?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>
</div>
and here is my model:
function get_store()
{
$this->db->select('StoreName');
$this->db->from('store');
$query = $this->db->get();
$result = $query->result_array();
return $result;
}
and here is my controller:
public function poedit()
{
$id = $this->uri->segment(3);
$data['dataget'] = $this->wip_model->getByPOId($id);
$datadrop['storename'] = $this->wip_model->get_store();
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('editpo',$data);
$this->load->view('footer');
}
I am working on the edit page of the project can someone please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In your controller
public function poedit()
{
$id = $this->uri->segment(3);
$data['dataget'] = $this->wip_model->getByPOId($id);
$data['storename'] = $this->wip_model->get_store();
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('editpo',$data);
$this->load->view('footer');
}
To stop duplicate rows you can use in your view
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Store Name</label>
<select class="form-control" id="store" name="store">
<?php
$store_name = array();
foreach($dataget as $val)
{
$store_name[] = $val->Store;
?>
<option value="<?php echo $val->Store;?>"><?php echo $val->Store;?></option>
<?php
}
foreach($storename as $value)
{
if(!in_array($value['StoreName'],$store_name))//it will stop duplication of rows...
{
?>
<option value="<?php echo $value['StoreName'];?>"><?php echo $value['StoreName'];?></option>
<?php
}
}
?>
</select>
</div>

Well, looks like you put incorrect view variable
$datadrop['storename'] = $this->wip_model->get_store();
Should be changed to
$data['storename'] = $this->wip_model->get_store();
And I'd recommend to merge 2 arrays ($dataget/$storename) into one in controller, then use one foreach in the view, the code must be better
