Codeigniter getting row details through link (foreach) - php

Question

I've been doing this for almost a month but I cannot figure it out on how to get the "details" of every row in my table. My table in my view is foreach. And post it in another page. By clicking the link named "Details..." on first page.
for example: ive searched in first page and this is the result:
column1 column1 column3 column4 column5 column6
name desc age num add Details...
name desc age num add Details...
When i click the first details... it would go to second page and post name, desc, age, num, add into textbox. same as the second details...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
here are my codes:
my model model.php - this is my code for search data in my database table
public function search_equip() {
if ($this->input->post('category') == "All")
{
$match = $this->input->post('search');
$array = array('column1' => $match);
$this->db->like($array);
$query = $this->db->get('equip');
return $query->result();
}
elseif ($this->input->post('category') == "Appliance")
{
$match = $this->input->post('search');
$array = array('column1' => $match, 'category' => "Appliance");
$this->db->like($array);
$query = $this->db->get('equip');
return $query->result();
}
elseif ($this->input->post('category') == "Furniture")
{
$match = $this->input->post('search');
$array = array('column1' => $match, 'category' => "Furniture");
$this->db->like($array);
$query = $this->db->get('equip');
return $query->result();
}
elseif ($this->input->post('category') == "Equipment")
{
$match = $this->input->post('search');
$array = array('column1' => $match, 'category' => "Equipment");
$this->db->like($array);
$query = $this->db->get('equip');
return $query->result();
}
}
my controller search.php - my code with set rules
function search_equipment()
{
//If searchbox is empty
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('search', 'Search', 'required|xss_clean');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('auth/index', 'refresh');
}
else
{
$data['query'] = $this->model->search_equip();
$this->load->view('auth/search_view_equipment', $data);
}
}
my view search_view_equipment.php - this is where i search data and show results with the link every row
<?php foreach($query as $item):?>
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column1 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column2 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column3 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column4 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column5 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".anchor("auth/view_equipment_details/".$item->Column6, 'Details...', array('class' => 'detail'))."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
<?php endforeach;?>
my second view view_equipment.php - this is where to post the data coming from first page (specific row)
Note: This td's are input, i dunno how to make a code here using input :)
<?php foreach($equipid as $item):?>
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column1 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column2 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column3 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column4 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".<?= $item->Column5 ?>."</td>";
echo "<td>".anchor("auth/view_equipment_details/".$item->Column6, 'Details...', array('class' => 'detail'))."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
<?php endforeach;?>
Is it possible to get that whole data of that row and show it in another page? Specifically, I'm confused on what am I going to do, because the table is in foreach. I cannot get the value of the specific link in first page, here's my code on getting the value of links in first page but im not succesful:
controller: auth.php
function view_equipment_details()
{
$data['equipid'] = $this->model->get_equipment_id();
$this->load->view('auth/view_equipment', $data);
}
model: addition in model.php
public function get_equipment_id() {
$match = $this->input->post(); //This line is where i want to put the specific links ( any links that i click in first page) VALUE or NAME or whatsoever that is EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ID OF THAT ROW I WILL CLICK to search using (next line): all i need is the value equal to the id of a row in table in database.
$array = array('id' => $match);
$this->db->where($array);
$equipid = $this->db->get('equip');
return $equipid->result();
}
Thank you in advance for any help. Hoping for a feed back. :)

Answer 1

What a mess here budy ...
Your question is really confuse, but I think you are trying to make a link:
<?php echo anchor("auth/view_equipment_details/".$item->id, 'Details...', array('class' => 'detail')))?>
NOTE: its better to pass an id in the url (or a slug maybe), but not a field, Because you have to do a search in the requested controller using that id.
and then in AuthController the function called view_equipment_details:
public function view_equipment_details($id){
$this->data['equipment'] = $this->db->where('id', $id)->get('table_name')->row();
$this->load->view(auth/view_equipment', $this->data)
}
You are trying to get something from post, and thereś nothing to do with post. The id should come as a parameter.

Answer 2

This way you can access your individual row details on another page.
For example you have page1 with table listing all the rows and a link as you shown for listing details in another page.
So attach ID to your details column within your url,so as per your code it goes like this
echo "<td>".anchor("auth/search_details/".$id_of_row, 'Details...', array('class' => 'detail'))."</td>";
Now in your controller function named 'search_details' will go like this :
function search_details ($row_id)
{
//code here to get/fetch row from database using $row_id
}
This way you can pass specific row details to another page.
Let me know if you any doubts further.

Answer 3

I figured it out. Thanks for your answers guys special.
My Model:
public function get_equipment_id($id) {
$array = array('id' => $id);
$this->db->where($array);
$equipid = $this->db->get('equip');
return $equipid->result();
}
My Controller:
function view_equipment_details($id)
{
$data['equipid'] = $this->model->get_equipment_id($id);
$this->load->view('auth/view_equipment', $data);
}
My View:
echo "<td>".anchor("auth/view_equipment_details/".$item->id, 'Details...', array('class' => 'detail'))."</td>";
