Kindly follow:
1) Since you are using a MVC framework, never write queries inside the controller (queries should always be written in models).
2) Never use raw queries, since CI provides you what is called as Active Record.
3) Also never pass direct queries anywhere you'll possibly code in whichever language. Always pass data and make do that function to compute and query process.
4) Remember, in CI Models are only used for database functionalities, Views are only used for your HTML markups and Controllers acts as the mediator between models and views.
Your code:
Controller -
public function tampilmenu()
{
$categories = $this->bymodel->get_category_having_parent();
echo "<pre>"; print_r($categories);
// this will return object having all categories that are parents
}
Model -
public function get_category_having_parent()
{
$parent_ids = array();
$ps = $this->get("parentid");
foreach($ps as $p)
{
$parent_ids[] = $p->parentid;
}
$this->db->where_in("id", $parent_ids);
$query = $this->db->get("fc_kategori");
return $query->result();
}
public function get($column="*")
{
$this->db->select($column);
$query = $this->db->get("fc_kategori");
return $query->result();
}
