Answer 1

So you want the radio button to be checked according to it's job status?????
If so, try something along these lines ( i don't know how your your database is set up so you will have to alter the following):
<?php foreach($query as $item):?>
<td><input type = "text" name = "item_id" value ="<?php echo $item->item_id ?>" ></td>
<td><?php echo $item->item_desc?></td>
<td><?php echo $item->serial_num ?></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="JobStatus" value="quotation" <?php $item->job_status == 'quotation' ? echo "checked" : null; ?> ></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="JobStatus" value="job order" <?php $item->job_status == 'job order' ? echo "checked" : null; ?> ></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Enclose the whole loop inside a form tag with action="index.php/controller/method"
In your controller,
public function method() {
$items = $this->input->post('item_id', TRUE);
$job_status = $this->input->post('JobStatus', TRUE);
$stati = $this->input->post('status', TRUE);
foreach($items as $key => $row) {
$this->your_model->insert_new($row, $job_status[$key], $stati[$key]);
}
}
In your_model, write the database query to insert these data wherever you need. Of course you need to change the names - method, controller and your_model to suit your application.
