How can i get looping autocomplete value - php

Question

My PHP Code In Model using Codeigniter
$return_arr =array();
$new_row =array();
foreach($query->result_array() as $row) {
$new_row['value'] = $row['test_type_name'];
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('p_test');
$this->db->where('test_type_name',$new_row['value']);
$query_tt = $this->db->get();
$i =0;
foreach($query_tt->result_array() as $row_tt) {
$i++;
$new_row['test_name'.$i] = $row_tt['test_name'];
}
$new_row['inc_i'] = $i;
array_push($return_arr,$new_row);
}
echo json_encode($return_arr);
My jQuery Code
$('#p_test_name').keydown(function () {
var id_no_t = document.getElementById('id_no').value;
$(this).autocomplete({
source: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>p_con/p_test_name/" + id_no_t,
minLength: 0,
autoFocus: true,
select: function (event, ui)
{
var tot_i = ui.item.inc_i;
for (i = 1; i <= tot_i; i++)
{
var test_name = 'test_name'+i;
test_name = ui.item.test_name;
$("#test_name"+i).val(test_name);
}
}
}
});
});
Actually i want to get value using loop.
If i use separately ui.item.test_name1, ui.item.test_name2 .......etc without loop.
Then Value comes perfect but if i use loop like my above code then value comes undefined.
Please tell me, How to solve it?

Answer 1

You are using the ui.item.test_name in which the test_name is referred to as the key. If I understand your question correctly, what you are willing to do is to use the value of test_name as key. Try this instead:
for (i = 1; i <= tot_i; i++)
{
var test_name = 'test_name' + i;
test_name = ui.item[test_name];
$("#test_name"+i).val(test_name);
}
This should effectively turn out to be using ui.item['test_name1'] or object style notation ui.item.test_name1, for every value of i.
Also on a side note, you are redeclaring test_name using the var keyword. Declaring it once is fine and better for code readability. Only declare vars once.
