SEARCHING with some condition in codeigniter - php

Question

i have a web project using codeigniter.
i have a problem with searching in my project. i have to show the multiple result from searching page with some keyword.
here is my Model
function find_user($like){
$this->db->from('user');
$this->db->like('name', $like,'after');
$result =$this->db->get();
return $result->result_array();
}
and in my user table, include
id | name | place_code
in the user table , column place_code is use to show the place from the user
here is my Controller
function search(){
$query = $this->input->post('query_cari');
$find = $this->m_user->find_user($query);
foreach ($find as $key) {
$code = $key['place_code'];
if ($code == '1') {
$place = 'Secretray';
}elseif($code == '2'){
$place = 'OB';
}elseif($code == '3'){
$place ='Manager';
}
}
$data['result'] = $find;
$data['place'] = $place;
$this->load->view('home/search',$data);
}
that's my code for controller, include a logic for get the position from user in office. but the problem is, when i get a result just 1 result, the place is right. but if i get more than 1 result, place is going wrong and just show the place for all result is the place from the last result in searching.
what i want is, all result just shown their own place.
here my VIEW
<?php foreach ($find as $key: ?>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Place</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $key['id'] ?></td>
<td><?php echo $key['name'] ?></td>
<td><?php echo $place ?></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php endforeach ?>

Answer 1

It is normal that you always get the last place because your logic is not correct. First, you have an error in your model. Secondly, you can improve your model code:
function find_user($like)
{
$this->db->like('name', $like, 'after');
return $this->db->get('user')->result();
}
Now, in your controller you want to change the variable place according to the value of place_code. You are allowed to add a new key (or change an existing one) in real time to the stdClass() as follows:
foreach($find as $i => $result)
{
// By default, we assume the 'place_code' is equal to '1'
$find[$i]->place = 'Secretray';
if($result->place_code == '2')
$find[$i]->place = 'OB';
else
$find[$i]->place = 'Manager';
}
$data['find'] = $find;
$this->load->view('home/search', $data);
Finally, in your view:
<?php foreach ($find as $result){ ?>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Place</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $result->id; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $result->name; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $result->place; ?></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php } ?>
