Codeigniter save ajax response - php

Question

I want to save the ajax response I get into my database. The problem is that my ajax function doesn't allow my to put a insert query. When I Insert the insert query, my response doesn't work anymore and vice versa.
where ajax file is
public function submit() {
$data = array(
'user_id' => '1',
'swipedpicture' => $this->input->post()
);
$this->db->insert('tbl_results', $data);
print json_encode($data);
}
Ajax Jquery
var pic = $(this).find('input[name="inputcountry"]').attr('value');
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: window.location.origin +"/swipr/index.php/preferences/submit",
dataType: 'json',
data: {swipedpic: pic},
success: function(res) {
if (res) {
console.log(res.swipedpicture);
}
}
});

Your javascript is setting a data element for posting that the submit function is not using.
The submit function should look like this.
$data = array(
'user_id' => '1',
'swipedpicture' => $this->security->xss_clean($this->input->post('swipedpicture'))
);
$this->db->insert('tbl_results', $data);
$response_array['status'] = 'success';
echo json_encode($response_array);
The javascript should look more like this. I used an form id of form1 and a form element of swipedpicture.
$('#form1').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: 'example_answer_submit',
type: 'POST',
data: $('#form1').serialize(),
success: function (msg) {
if (!msg) {
console.log('error');
} else {
console.log('success');
}
}
});
return false;
});
The form I used.
<h1 class="page-header text-center">Test Form</h1>
<form id="form1" class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="post" action="">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Swiped Picture</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="swipedpicture" name="swipedpicture" placeholder="Pic" value="">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-2">
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="Send" class="btn btn-primary">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-2">
<?php echo $result; ?>
</div>
</div>
</form>
