Variable returning as undefined in codeigniter? - php

Question

I am getting the following error message for each variable:
Message: Undefined index: on lines 59, 60, 61, 62
I cannot understand why as it is definitely getting the sessions data and also the databases are setup and their is a user which matches that criteria.
jobs.php(apply function):
public function apply(){
if($this->session->userdata('is_logged_in')){
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('job');
$id = $this->session->userdata('id');
$query = $this->db->get_where('jobseeker_profiles', array('jobseeker_id' => $id));
$user = $query->row_array();
$points = $user['total_points_value'];
$name = $user['name'];
$email = $user['email'];
$jobseeker_profile_id = $user['id'];
$employer_profile_id = $this->input->post('employer_id');
$job_id = $this->input->post('job_id');
$this->db->set('jobseeker_profile_id', $jobseeker_profile_id);
$this->db->set('employer_profile_id', $employer_profile_id);
$this->db->set('job_id', $job_id);
$this->db->set('name', $name);
$this->db->set('email', $email);
$this->db->set('points_value', $points);
if($this->input->post('submit')){
$this->db->insert('applications');
}
redirect('applied-for');
}else{
redirect('login');
}
}
}
Hope fully you can help, thanks!

Answer 1

Have you checked if the 4 database variables you are setting in those lines are rightly declared in the table ? They have to match to work.

Answer 2

do some quick error checking directly from the controller or model like
// check if query did not come back
if ( ! $query = $this->db->get_where('jobseeker_profiles',array('jobseeker_id' => $id)) )
{ echo 'OMFG WHERE IS MY QUERY ???' ; }
else
{ $user = $query->row_array();
echo 'QUERY WORKED, User Name is:' . $user['name'] ;
}
and if this does not work, go back and make sure you are loading the database, that the user/password is correct, etc
