Using foreach in codeigniter view to generate select options - php

Question

I ma using codeigniter to generate some html options,but i only get one result,first result from the table.
This is my controller
public function edit_event($id = 0){
$id = $this->uri->segment(3);
$current_id = $this->ion_auth->get_user_id();
$data['data'] = $this->as->the_event_edit($id);
$data['groups'] = $this->as->the_groups_list($current_id);
$this->load->view('editevent',$data);
}
This is my model
public function the_groups_list($current_id){
$query = $this->db->get_where('all_groups', array('group_owner' => $current_id));
foreach ($query->result() as $row)
{
$data = array(
'group_title' => $row->group_title,
'group_name' => $row->group_name,
'group_owner' => $row->group_owner
);
return $data;
}
}
This is the other model
public function as_event_edit($id){
$query = $this->db->get_where('all_scheduled_messages', array('id' => $id));
foreach ($query->result() as $row)
{
$data = array(
'as_title' => $row->as_title,
'as_event_name' => $row->as_event_name,
'as_owner' => $row->as_owner,
'as_type' => $row->as_type,
'as_target_dataset' => $row->as_target_dataset,
'as_timestamp' => $row->as_timestamp,
'as_time' => $row->as_time,
'as_day' => $row->as_day
);
return $data;
}
}
I am then using $groups['group_title'] in view and only the first group title gets displayed even though i have like 4 group titles from the other rows.
How can i return and pass an array that i can then to the view so as to use foreach to iterate and display the group titles?.

Answer 1

In your model you're not creating a multi-dimensional array. You need to add keys either using a counter:
$data = array();
$i=0;
foreach ($query->result() as $row){
$data[$i]['as_title'] = $row->as_title;
$data[$i]['as_event_name'] = $row->as_event_name;
$data[$i]['as_owner'] = $row->as_owner;
$data[$i]['as_type'] = $row->as_type;
$data[$i]['as_target_dataset'] = $row->as_target_dataset;
$data[$i]['as_timestamp'] = $row->as_timestamp;
$data[$i]['as_time'] = $row->as_time;
$data[$i]['as_day'] = $row->as_day;
$i++;
);
return $data;
or use the key of the incoming array
$data = array();
foreach ($query->result() as $id => $row){
$data[$id]['as_title'] = $row->as_title;
$data[$id]['as_event_name'] = $row->as_event_name;
$data[$id]['as_owner'] = $row->as_owner;
$data[$id]['as_type'] = $row->as_type;
$data[$id]['as_target_dataset'] = $row->as_target_dataset;
$data[$id]['as_timestamp'] = $row->as_timestamp;
$data[$id]['as_time'] = $row->as_time;
$data[$id]['as_day'] = $row->as_day;
);
return $data;

Change the model from $data = to $data[] = to insert each row and not only one.
In your view loop over the groups, like so:
foreach ($data as $group) {
echo "Title" . $groups['group_title'];
}
RTM: Adding Dynamic Data to the View
In the controller: rename your $data['data'] to $data['event']
$data['event'] = $this->as->the_event_edit($id);
$data['groups'] = $this->as->the_groups_list($current_id);
$this->load->view('editevent',$data);
In your view:
foreach ($event as $items) {
var_dump($items);
}
foreach ($groups as $group) {
var_dump($group);
}
