Pull and update data from database in PHP CodeIgniter foreach loop - php

Question

I have a view which contains the data which is displayed from the database by a foreach loop and i want is to get the data which is edited from the view and update it in the database one by one but the problem is that database will be updated if there is a where clause but in my case i don't know how to get the key(tid) from view to controller here is the controller function which displays the data
public function bulk()
{
$pid = '';
if($this->input->post('pid'))
$pid = $this->input->post('pid');
$template['menu'] = $this->shared_model->get_flightmenus();
if($pid == '')
{
if($this->uri->segment(3))
$pid = $this->uri->segment(3);
else
$pid = $template['menu'][0]['tid'];
}
$template['pid'] = $pid;
// echo $pid;
// exit();
$template['airline'] = $this->shared_model->get_records('eat_airline');
$template['terminal'] = $this->shared_model->get_records('eat_terminal');
$template['data'] = $this->shared_model->get_recordbyvalue('eat_flight','menu_tid = '.$pid);
$template['main_content'] = $this->load->view('flight/flight_bulk_view', $template, true);
$this->load->view('includes/template', $template);
}
here is the view
<h4><?php echo anchor('login/logout', 'Logout'); ?></h4>
<?php echo anchor('/home', 'Home'); ?>/Flights
<h2>Flights</h2>
<div>
<?php echo form_open('/flight/') ?>
<?php foreach($menu as $row){ $options[$row['tid']] = $row['m_name']; } ?>
<?php $js = 'name="pid" id="pid" onChange="this.form.submit();"'; ?>
<?php echo form_dropdown('pid', $options, $pid, $js); ?>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
</div>
<?php echo anchor('/flight/display/1/0/'.$pid, 'Create'); ?>
<?php echo anchor('flight/bulk', 'Bulk Update'); ?>

Answer 1

all i can see is that you want to pass the data from your view to controller you can do that by passing your data to url and then use it from the controller for future use.

Answer 2

You are getting values from DB row by row. Each row in your database has a unique ID (hopefully). That is your main criteria for the WHERE clause.
I don't see any inputs in your HTML, so I don't really understand how you are saving the data, but you can either do a hidden input in each row like <input type="hidden" id="[your_row_id_from_DB]" /> or if you have multiple inputs per row - add a name with id appended to it, like <input type="text" name="flight_your_row_id" /> . That way you can parse your names and know which values are submitted.
