Codeigniter explode to html table - php

Question

I'm currently having issue explode to html table.
My Controller
public function idp_test()
{
$this->load->model('groups/groups_model');
$scholar_id = $this->session->userdata('scholar_id');
$groups = $this->groups_model->retrieve_groups_idp($this->scholar->level_id);
$content = array(
'groups' => $groups,
'scholar' => $this->scholar,
'page_title' => 'My individual development plan',
'page_view' => 'scholar/activities/idp_test',
'page_scripts_view' => 'scholar/inc/_choose_activities_scripts',
'sidebar_menu' => 'idp test'
);
$this->load->view("theme/base", $content);
}
My Model
public function retrieve_groups_idp($level_id)
{
$this->db->select("groups.*, levels.name as levelname");
$this->db->join('activities', 'groups.activity_ids = activities.activity_id' );
$this->db->join('levels', 'levels.level_id = groups.level_id', 'left' );
$this->db->join('activity_types', 'activities.activity_type_id = activity_types.activity_type_id', 'left' );
$this->db->where('groups.level_id', $level_id);
$this->db->group_by('groups_name');
$this->db->order_by('groups_name');
$qr = $this->db->get('groups');
return $qr->result();
}
public function retrieve_activity_desc($activity_ids)
{
$activity_desc_arr[] = explode(', ', $activity_ids);
foreach ($activity_desc_arr as $activity_id){
$this->db->select("activity_id as activityid, CONCAT(activities.name, ' - ', activity_types.name) AS description", FALSE);
$this->db->join('activity_types', 'activities.activity_type_id = activity_types.activity_type_id');
$this->db->where_in('activities.activity_id', $activity_id);
$qr = $this->db->get('activities');
return $qr->result();
}
}
My View
<?php foreach ($groups as $groups): ?>
<table class="table table-vcenter">
<thead>
<tr class="active">
<th><?php echo $groups->groups_name?></th> <!--Series Header -->
<th class="text-center"><small><strong>Module Type</strong></small></th>
<th class="text-center"><small><strong>Status</strong></small></th>
<th class="text-center"><small><strong>Action</strong></small></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php
$rows = $this->groups_model->retrieve_activity_desc($groups->activity_ids);
foreach ($rows as $row){
echo var_dump($row->description);
}
?></td>
<td class="text-center">belom lagi</td>
<td class="text-center">TO ATTEND</td>
<td class="text-center">View Session</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php endforeach ?>
i can't post images, so below are some sample in view so far
SERIES 1 FOR FS | MODULE TYPES | STATUS | ACTION
Series 1 - FILSeries 1 - CBLSeries 1 - PEL | belom lagi | to attend |
and what i need to achieve is like below sample in view
SERIES 1 FOR FS | MODULE TYPES | STATUS | ACTION
Series 1 - FIL | belom lagi | to attend |
Series 1 - CBL | belom lagi | to attend |
Series 1 - PEL | belom lagi | to attend |
I'm newbie with php & codeigniter, sorry with my english.
Thanks

Answer 1

Think about what you have in your view code:
<tr>
<td><?php
foreach($rows as $row){
var_dump($row->description);
}
?>
</td>
<td>belom lagi</td>
<td>to attend</td>
</tr>
Of course this will all be printed into one table cell, how it could produce anything else, right?
What you need is something like this:
<?php
foreach($rows as $row){
echo "<tr>"; // you need a new row for every entry
echo "<td>".$row->description."</td>";
echo "<td>belom lagi</td>";
echo "<td>to attend</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>

After a few studies, i figured it out, just want to share with everybody.
EDITED - Controller
public function idp_test()
{
$this->load->model('groups/groups_model');
$this->load->model('activities/activity_type_model');
$scholar_id = $this->session->userdata('scholar_id');
$groups = $this->groups_model->retrieve_groups_idp($this->scholar->level_id);
foreach ($groups as $group) {
$act_desc = $this->groups_model->retrieve_activity_desc($group->activity_ids);
$group->activity_ids = $act_desc;
}
EDITED - View
<!-- START TABLE HEADER -->
<?php foreach ($groups as $group): ?>
<table class="table table-vcenter">
<thead>
<tr class="active">
<th><?php echo $group->groups_name?></th> <!--Series Header -->
<th class="text-center"><small><strong>Module Type</strong></small></th>
<th class="text-center"><small><strong>Status</strong></small></th>
<th class="text-center"><small><strong>Action</strong></small></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($group->activity_ids as $session): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $session->description; ?></td>
<td class="text-center"><?php echo $session->modulename; ?></td>
<td class="text-center">STATUS</td>
<td class="text-center">View Session</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php endforeach ?>
<!-- END 1 -->
Come out as what i need.
